About

A daily, defensive switcher among cash (BIL), tech (XLK), or short tech (PSQ). It avoids overheated markets, buys tech after sharp dips, and otherwise uses tech‑vs‑utilities strength plus a 200‑day trend check to decide between staying in cash or shorting QQQ.
NutHow it works
Daily checks using RSI (a 0–100 “hot/cold” gauge) and a 200‑day average. QQQ=Nasdaq‑100; SPY=S&P 500; XLK=Tech; XLU=Utilities; BIL=T‑Bills (cash‑like); PSQ=short QQQ. If QQQ 10‑day RSI>79 or SPY>80 → BIL. Else if QQQ 10‑day RSI<30 → XLK. Else if XLK 63‑day RSI>XLU’s: if SPY>200‑day → BIL; else → PSQ. Otherwise → BIL.

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.
