About

Own the 5 strongest S&P 100 stocks by recent performance, but step aside to T‑bills when the market drops sharply. Equal‑weight, low maintenance. Uses OEF to judge market health and BIL as a safe harbor.
NutHow it works
If the S&P 100 (via ETF OEF) drops fast (over 3% in 1 week or 6% in 2 weeks), move 100% to BIL, a T‑bill ETF. Otherwise, rank all S&P 100 stocks by their last ~8 months of total return and buy the top 5, equally. Let winners run; only trade when the list changes or weights drift ~10% from target.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample upside is dramatically higher: ~86% annualized return vs ~10.6% for the S&P; Sharpe ~1.66 vs ~0.71; Calmar ~10.6. Momentum with cash hedges to ride rallies and limit losses.

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.
