About

Weekly switcher: if mega‑cap tech is leading, hold the strongest of Apple, Nvidia, or Netflix. If not, hold the steadier of Eli Lilly or Moderna. Always one stock, updated weekly.
NutHow it works
Each week: 1) Check the past‑month trend: QQQ (Nasdaq‑100, tilted to mega‑caps) vs QQQE (same stocks, equal weight). 2) If QQQ is stronger, buy the 1 “hottest” of Apple, Nvidia, Netflix (highest 40‑day momentum score, RSI). 3) Otherwise, buy the calmer of Eli Lilly or Moderna (lowest 10‑day volatility).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this weekly regime-switch picks outperform the S&P: ~52.8% annualized return vs ~21.5%, Sharpe ~1.32 vs ~1.29, and Calmar ~1.40. It shifts between mega-cap momentum and steady healthcare names to capture leadership changes.

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.
