About

Equal-weight, rules-based mix of 10 mega-cap S&P names. Each sleeve holds the stock when oversold or trending up, otherwise parks in short-term T‑bills (BIL). Heavy tech/comm exposure; Alphabet counted twice.
NutHow it works
Your money is split equally into 10 big S&P names. Each bucket flips between the stock and BIL (a T‑bill ETF). Signals: buy the stock when it looks oversold (RSI = recent drop score) or in an uptrend (price above its recent average). If it’s hot but not trending up, sit in BIL. One bucket (AMZN) may also buy on very strong momentum. Alphabet shows up twice (GOOG & GOOGL), so it gets double weight.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this mega-cap strategy delivers ~37% annualized return vs ~22% for the S&P, with higher Sharpe (~1.70 vs ~1.35), Calmar ~2.0, and a built-in cash hedge. Sharper, more resilient gains at comparable drawdowns.

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.
