About

An equal-weight basket of 25 Reddit “dark horse” stocks, rebalanced daily. Heavy tilt to AI chips, space/aerospace, EVs, and speculative small caps. It’s a straightforward bet on retail sentiment—simple rules, very high risk and volatility.
NutHow it works
It takes 25 “dark horse” stocks named in a WallStreetBets Reddit post and puts the same dollar amount into each one. Every trading day, it resets back to equal weights. There are no price signals or indicators—just a daily rebalanced, equal-weight basket of those 25 picks.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge vs S&P: ~60% annualized return, Sharpe ~1.18 vs 0.86, Calmar ~1.50, but ~40% max drawdown vs ~19%. Higher risk, higher upside in AI/space/EV bets—best for risk-tolerant, long-horizon investors.

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.
