About

Tactical, rules-based rotation. If semiconductors are washed out, buy the most beaten-down tech/growth index for about two‑thirds and keep the rest in cash. Otherwise, own growth stocks during S&P 500 uptrends and move to T‑bills when the market looks hot or weak.
NutHow it works
1) If chip stocks (SMH) have fallen hard recently (its 10‑day “heat” score is very low), put about two‑thirds into whichever of these has dropped the most lately: VTI, ONEQ, XLK, SMH, or IVW. Leave the rest in cash. 2) Otherwise, use the S&P 500 (VOO) as a guide: if it looks very hot short‑term, sit in T‑bills (BIL). If it’s not hot and is in a long‑term uptrend, own growth stocks (VUG). If not in an uptrend, use BIL.
CheckmarkValue prop
Achieves near-SPY upside with built-in risk control: ~19.37% annualized out-of-sample vs SPY’s ~19.79%, Calmar ≈ 0.99, and a disciplined cash/rotation rule when markets heat up or stumble, offering diversification and potentially smoother 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.
