About

Own the 3 strongest mega-cap US stocks by recent performance, unless the S&P 100 is dropping fast—then park in T‑bills (BIL). Simple momentum with two short-term “danger” tripwires using OEF as the market gauge.
NutHow it works
- Check market health using OEF (an ETF for the S&P 100). If it has fallen sharply in the last few days, move everything to BIL (a T‑bill ETF). - Otherwise, rank a big list of mega-cap US stocks by their last ~8 months of performance and buy the top 3, equal-weighted. - Switch as rules change.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers 12.4% annualized return vs SPY's 10.6%, with Calmar ~0.90 indicating solid risk-adjusted performance, plus a crash-protection rule to switch to cash during sharp downturns.

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.
