About

A monthly biotech-timing strategy. If biotech (IBB) is in an uptrend, it buys two fast-rising biotech stocks from a set list. If not, it holds two defensive ETFs (bonds/staples/utilities/health care) that recently dipped. Equal-weight the two picks.
NutHow it works
Every month: 1) Check if biotech is trending up by seeing if IBB’s 50-day average price is above its 200-day average. 2) If yes, buy 2 biotech stocks from a set list that rose the most lately (RSI = speed-of-moves gauge). 3) If not, buy 2 “safer” ETFs that dipped most: BSV (short-term bonds), TLT (long Treasuries), LQD (IG bonds), VBF (bond fund), XLP/UGE (consumer staples), XLU (utilities), XLV (health care). Split money 50/50.

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.
