About

Daily concentrates 70% into the 5 most volatile mega‑caps. Buys leveraged long on sharp dips, uses VGT or the stock when the trend is up, and hedges or parks in T‑bills when overheated. Very tech‑heavy, rules‑based, and rebalanced every day.
NutHow it works
Each day it ranks a set of well-known large stocks by how bumpy they were over the last 14 days and picks the top 5. About 70% of the portfolio is split equally across those 5. For each pick: buy a leveraged long ETF on sharp dips, own tech (VGT) or the stock when the short-term trend is up, and hedge with a 1x bear ETF or park in T‑bills when things look overheated. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return ~46.8% vs SPY ~25%, Calmar ~1.73. Tech-tilt and volatility-driven picks with hedges/cash offer bigger upside, at the cost of higher drawdowns (~27%). Stronger upside vs S&P 500.

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.
