About

Weekly rule-based stock picker: if Nasdaq momentum (QQQ) beats QQQE, buy the strongest-momentum stock among AAPL, NVDA, NFLX (highest RSI). Otherwise, buy the least volatile stock between LLY and MRNA. Rebalance weekly, single-stock exposure each week.
NutHow it works
Every week, the system checks whether QQQ’s 20-day return is greater than QQQE’s 20-day return. If yes: among AAPL, NVDA, NFLX, compute RSI with a 40-day window and pick the one with the highest RSI (strongest momentum) to hold for the week. If no: among LLY and MRNA, compute the 10-day standard deviation of returns and pick the one with the smallest deviation (least volatile) to hold for the week. Cash is allocated to the chosen stock (with a single pick this week, effectively 100% in that stock). The process then repeats on a weekly cadence.
CheckmarkValue prop
Weekly rule: momentum picks (AAPL/NVDA/NFLX) if QQQ>QQQE, else low-vol pick (LLY/MRNA). Out-of-sample: 52.8% annualized vs SPY 21.5%; Sharpe ~1.32; Calmar ~1.40. Simple, single-stock exposure with higher upside; drawdowns can exceed SPY.

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.
