About

A one‑ETF, rules‑based rotation. If falling yields favor growth, it buys QQQ; otherwise it shifts to staples (XLP), buys tech on oversold dips (XLK), or goes inverse the S&P 500 (SH). Uses RSI and a 200‑day trend filter.
NutHow it works
Always holds one ETF, chosen by these checks: 1) Compare 20‑day RSI (recent buy/sell strength). If TLT (long US Treasuries) > PSQ (inverse Nasdaq‑100), buy QQQ (big Nasdaq tech). 2) Else if SPY > its 200‑day average (long‑term trend), buy XLP (consumer staples). 3) Else if QQQ’s 10‑day RSI < 30 (oversold), buy XLK (tech). 4) Else buy SH (inverse S&P 500).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this regime-driven single-ETF rotation aims for ~20%/yr with lower beta (~0.74) and positive alpha, offering diversification beyond the S&P. Regime shifts aid resilience, though drawdowns can be higher in some downturns.

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.
