About

Daily, it flips among cash (BIL), a crash hedge (VIXY), QQQ, or 3× QQQ (TQQQ) using simple signals: a short‑term “heat” meter on QQQ (RSI) plus recent moves in defensive stock sectors (XLU/XLP) and corporate bonds (IGIB).
NutHow it works
Each day it reads simple cues. If the Nasdaq‑100 (QQQ) looks very hot on a short‑term “heat” gauge (RSI>80), it splits into cash‑like T‑Bills (BIL) and a volatility hedge (VIXY). If QQQ looks washed‑out (RSI<30), it buys QQQ. Otherwise, if defensive sectors—Utilities (XLU) or Staples (XLP)—fell a lot, or corporate bonds (IGIB) look strong, it goes 3× QQQ (TQQQ). If not, it stays in 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.
