About

Monthly, concentrated toggle between NVIDIA (tech/semis) and Eli Lilly (pharma). 80% follows stock/bond trend checks; 20% picks the one with stronger recent momentum (RSI). Uses SPY, BND, and TLT as market signals.
NutHow it works
Rebalances monthly. 80% core: If the S&P 500 (SPY) just fell hard, hold Eli Lilly (LLY, big pharma). Otherwise, if broad bonds (BND) were up over ~3 months, hold NVIDIA (NVDA, chipmaker). If bonds were weak, check long Treasuries (TLT): if short‑term improving vs prior 4 months, hold LLY; else NVDA. 20% satellite: holds whichever of NVDA/LLY has the stronger 90‑day strength score (RSI = more up days than down).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 31.74% annualized return vs SPY 18.25%; Calmar 1.08. Higher drawdowns (29.36% vs 18.76%), but a disciplined, momentum-driven NVDA/LLY strategy guided by macro signals offers compelling upside per unit risk.

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.
