About

Always 100% in SPY (S&P 500 ETF). Reinvests any cash daily. Simple, broad exposure to the biggest U.S. companies; aims to match the market’s return, with full market ups and downs.
NutHow it works
It keeps 100% of your money in SPY, an ETF that mirrors the S&P 500 (the 500 biggest U.S. companies across sectors like tech, health care, and finance). Each trading day it checks for idle cash (deposits/dividends) and buys more SPY to stay fully invested. No timing, no hedges—returns rise and fall with the U.S. stock market.
CheckmarkValue prop
Easy SPY exposure: 100% in SPY with daily cash reinvestment. Out-of-sample: ~16.75% annualized return, Sharpe ~0.93, max draw ~19%. Close to the S&P 500 in risk/return—simple, low-cost, transparent exposure.

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.
