About

Daily, it picks the 2 strongest (by 14‑day RSI) from Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, Nvidia, and Exxon, puts only a small slice of the portfolio into them (split evenly), and holds the remainder in cash to reduce risk.
NutHow it works
Each day it looks at 5 stocks: Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Netflix (NFLX), Nvidia (NVDA), and Exxon Mobil (XOM). It scores each using a 14‑day RSI (a 0–100 gauge of recent up vs down moves). It buys the 2 with the highest scores, splitting that invested portion evenly, and leaves the rest in cash. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 37.22% annualized return vs 23.44% S&P, Calmar ~1.64, and an ~80% cash buffer with 2-stock RSI momentum. Strong upside with tempered risk, though drawdowns can exceed the market at times.

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.
