About

A conservative, daily sector-rotation system. It reads short-term strength (RSI) and a few market barometers to lean into growth stocks when conditions are healthy, and retreat to bonds/cash/defensive sectors—or hedges—when risk rises.
NutHow it works
It rotates daily between growth stocks and safer assets to avoid big drops. It uses RSI (a 0–100 “heat” score of recent price moves). First: is Tech (XLK) stronger than a trend-following diversifier (KMLM)? If yes, favor SPY/QQQ/XLK/semis; if not, shift to bonds (TLT/IEF/BND), cash (BIL), or defensives (XLP/XLU/XLV). It also checks transports vs staples and long- vs short‑term Treasuries to refine risk. Big volatility sends it to cash.
CheckmarkValue prop
Daily sector-rotation with RSI gates delivers ~31.7% annualized out-of-sample returns, ~7.3% max drawdown, and strong risk-adjusted results vs the S&P. It grows in healthy markets and de-risks on risk-off, protecting capital while seeking upside.

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.
