About

Equal-weight timing of 10 mega-cap U.S. stocks. Own them in uptrends or on deep dips; otherwise sit in short-term Treasuries (SHY). Signals checked daily; TSLA’s “dip” uses QQQ instead of TSLA.
NutHow it works
It splits money evenly across 10 giant U.S. stocks (AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, GOOGL/GOOG, NVDA, META, TSLA, BRK.A, UNH). Each slice checks daily: 1) Own the stock if its ~1‑month average price > ~10‑month average (uptrend). 2) If not, buy after a sharp sell‑off (RSI, a 0–100 “heat gauge,” < 30). 3) Or if price is back above its ~1‑month average. Otherwise park in SHY (1–3yr U.S. Treasury ETF). Exception: on TSLA dips it uses QQQ (Nasdaq‑100 ETF).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, equal-weight mega-cap strategy beats the S&P: ~37.8% annualized return vs ~22.2%; Sharpe ~1.78 vs ~1.35; Calmar ~2.06; max drawdown ~18.4%. Higher risk-adjusted upside with a Treasuries hedge.

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.
