About

A simple SPY trend switch. In uptrends: momentum US stocks plus diversifiers. In downtrends: a defensive mix of managed futures, low‑vol equities, and gold, rebalanced daily.
NutHow it works
It checks SPY’s trend: if the recent 21‑day average price is above the 200‑day average (uptrend), it puts 50% in SPMO (S&P 500 momentum stocks) and 50% split across GLD (gold), DBMF & KMLM (managed‑futures trend funds), CLSE (long/short stocks), and SDCI (broad commodities). If not, it splits evenly across DBMF, KMLM, ACWV & USMV (low‑vol stock funds), and GLD. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample Sharpe 3.18 vs SPY 2.38; Calmar 8.42; drawdown 4.34% vs 6.33%; beta 0.36; alpha 0.16. Trend-switch: risk-on momentum/diversifiers; risk-off defensives deliver better risk-adjusted returns with smaller drawdowns than the S&P 500.

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.
