About

Daily momentum rotation. Ranks recent 10‑day strength (RSI), buys the top two equally. Choices span leveraged Nasdaq/S&P, inverse Nasdaq, emerging markets, and managed futures. Expect frequent trades and high volatility.
NutHow it works
Each day, it scores six ETFs on their last 10 trading days using a simple “hot-or-not” gauge (RSI: more recent up days = higher score). It buys the top two and splits 50/50, then repeats daily. Menu: TQQQ/QLD=3x/2x Nasdaq-100; SSO=2x S&P 500; PSQ=-1x (inverse) Nasdaq-100; EEM=emerging markets; KMLM=managed-futures trend fund. Very active and volatile.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~26% annual return, Sharpe ~1.0, beta ~0.47, Calmar ~1.40 over 458 days. A diversified, daily momentum rotation across Nasdaq/S&P/EM/futures targets higher risk-adjusted upside with lower market sensitivity than the S&P.

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.
