About

A daily, contrarian “buy the dip” plan: buy QQQ or SPY only when short‑term selling looks extreme; otherwise hold the more sold‑off picks between defensive stock sectors (XLP, XLV) and long‑duration investment‑grade bonds (IGLB).
NutHow it works
RSI is a 0–100 gauge of recent price losses vs gains; below 30 = very sold‑off. Each day: if QQQ (Nasdaq‑100) has 10‑day RSI<30, put 100% in QQQ. Else if SPY (S&P 500) RSI<30, put 100% in SPY. Otherwise split 50/50 between the more sold‑off choices: XLP (Consumer Staples) vs IGLB (long‑term investment‑grade corporate bonds), and XLV (Health Care) vs IGLB.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample proof: a dip-buying, mean-reversion strategy with far better risk control than SPY. Max drawdown 3.6% vs 5.1% for SPY; Calmar ~5.55; Sharpe ~2.04. It targets oversold rebounds for steadier, higher risk-adjusted gains.

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.
