About

A daily “buy-the-dip” rotation among consumer staples (XLP), investment‑grade bonds (VBF), and tech‑heavy stocks (QQQ). Adding QQQ can boost gains but also makes the worst slumps deeper; XLP+VBF alone is the smoother option in tech busts.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks three funds—XLP (everyday-products companies), VBF (investment‑grade bond fund), and QQQ (big tech-heavy stocks). It scores which one has fallen the most lately and buys that one, aiming for a short‑term bounce. It repeats this check daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this daily cross-asset mean-reversion strategy delivers 31.8% annualized return vs 28.1% for the S&P, with a ~2.44 Sharpe, lower max drawdown (4.57% vs 5.07%), and a low beta (~0.38). Strong downside protection with upside potential.

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.
