About

Weekly, 70% rides the top stock from a curated “moat” list unless markets are overheated or crashing; 30% rides Eli Lilly. In extremes it flips to safety (Treasuries), volatility (VIXM), or shorts the S&P 500 (SH). Very concentrated, tactical.
NutHow it works
It rebalances weekly and splits the account 70/30. - 70% “Moat Surfer”: If the S&P 500 isn’t too hot (RSI below ~77), buy the strongest recent winner from a handpicked list (NVDA, AAPL, COST, etc.). If a sudden 5‑day plunge hit, use VIXM (fear). If the market is very hot, use SH (goes up when the S&P falls). - 30% “Melt Up”: Ride Eli Lilly (LLY) unless it’s overheated or there’s a sharp drop; otherwise sit in SHY (short‑term Treasuries) or, if both LLY and the market are very hot, use SH. RSI is a 0–100 speed/heat gauge: high = ran up fast; low = cooled off.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: ~27.2% annualized return vs S&P 19.2%, beta ~0.64. Uses VIXM/SH hedges to dampen crashes; Calmar ~0.77 shows solid return per drawdown, though max drawdowns can exceed ~35% in severe markets.

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.
