About

Daily momentum rotation with a simple market check. In uptrends, equally hold the 3 best‑performing ETFs from a mix of broad and thematic funds; in downtrends, switch to the recent winner of long Treasuries (TLT) or gold (GLD).
NutHow it works
Each day: • If the S&P 500 (SPY) is up over ~6 months, buy the 3 strongest ETFs (equal‑weight) over that same period from a set of broad stock funds (SPY, QQQ, VEA, VTV, IWM), gold (GLD), and themes (meme stocks, crypto, AI/automation, quantum, metaverse, nuclear). • Otherwise, own the 1‑month winner of long U.S. Treasuries (TLT) or gold (GLD).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this tactical momentum strategy aims to beat the S&P by riding top performers in up markets and shifting to gold/TLT in down markets. It shows ~48% annualized return vs ~28% for SPY, with Calmar ~2.31 and higher drawdowns.

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.
