About

Uses defensive sectors as a risk meter. If any defensive ETF trends down, rotate to growth/broad market (50% QQQ, 50% VOO). Otherwise hold a defensive mix (XLP, XLV, XLU, SCHD). Rebalanced daily; always fully invested.
NutHow it works
Daily it checks a simple trend: is the 10‑day average price (last 10 days’ average) below the 100‑day average for any of four defensive funds—XLP (staples), XLV (health care), XLU (utilities), SCHD (dividend stocks)? If yes, it goes “offense”: 50% QQQ (tech‑heavy Nasdaq‑100) and 50% VOO (S&P 500). If not, it stays “defense”: equal XLP, XLV, XLU, SCHD. Always fully invested; weights reset daily.

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.
