About

Always holds a 50/50 mix of SPY (S&P 500) and QQQ (Nasdaq‑100), rebalanced daily. The RSI check is redundant, so the portfolio is effectively a simple static split with a tech tilt.
NutHow it works
Every day it splits the money 50/50 between two stock index funds: SPY (S&P 500, broad U.S. market) and QQQ (Nasdaq‑100, very tech‑heavy). It also computes a quick “speed” reading (RSI, a momentum score), but regardless of that reading it still holds SPY and QQQ. Rebalanced back to 50/50 daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, a 50/50 SPY/QQQ strategy delivers 26.0% annualized return vs 21.9% for the S&P, with Sharpe ~1.43 and Calmar ~1.25. Higher upside, modestly higher drawdowns, a tech tilt, and a strong risk-adjusted profile.

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.
