About

51% rotates into the 3 strongest “old tech” stocks by recent 60‑day performance; 49% stays equally in 7 core blue‑chips (Intel, Microsoft, Texas Instruments, AMD, HP, GE, IBM). Reviewed about monthly; trades only if weights drift ~5%.
NutHow it works
About every 30 days, it ranks 11 established “old tech” stocks by their average gain over the last 60 days, then puts 51% into the top 3 (equal split). The other 49% stays spread evenly across 7 core names: Intel (INTC), Microsoft (MSFT), Texas Instruments (TXN), AMD, HP (HPQ), GE, and IBM. It only rebalances if weights drift ~5% from targets.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
