About

Own 10 top U.S. stocks only when they’re above their 200‑day average; otherwise use SPY for that slice. Equal-weight across 10 checks, reviewed daily. Stays fully invested, leans into leaders, and defaults to the broad market when they weaken.
NutHow it works
Each day the strategy checks 10 giant U.S. companies: Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Amazon, Meta, Alphabet (Google), Berkshire Hathaway (B), Broadcom, Eli Lilly, and JPMorgan. For each name: if its price is above its average price over the last ~200 trading days, own that stock; otherwise own SPY (the S&P 500 fund) for that slice. Money is split evenly across the 10 slices and rechecked daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy tilts to megacap leaders via a 200-day trend filter. ~23% annualized return vs SPY ~16%, higher Sharpe (~1.10 vs ~0.93) and Calmar (~1.08). If leadership fades, it shifts to SPY for risk control.

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.
