About

Uses SPY’s 30-day trend to switch between a safe T‑bill fund (SGOV) and a Nasdaq income fund (JEPQ): 60/40 (safe/risk) when SPY is strong; 20/80 when SPY is weak. Rebalanced daily; exposure is mainly tech-heavy Nasdaq plus T‑bills.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks if SPY (an S&P 500 fund) is above its 30-day average price. If yes: it holds 60% in SGOV (short‑term Treasuries) and 40% in JEPQ (a Nasdaq income fund). If not: it holds 80% JEPQ and 20% SGOV. It rebalances to those weights daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample-tested strategy uses SPY’s trend to time Nasdaq income (JEPQ) vs short Treasuries (SGOV). It delivers smoother drawdowns and competitive risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P 500, with daily rebalancing and built-in income potential.

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.
