About

A simple Apple‑or‑cash switch: buy Apple when tech’s trend is healthy or after sharp market dips, and park in short‑term T‑Bills when markets look overheated or volatile.
NutHow it works
- It only holds one of two things: Apple (AAPL) or a cash‑like T‑Bill fund (BIL). - It watches SPY (S&P 500), QQQ (Nasdaq‑100), and XLK (tech) as dashboards; it doesn’t buy them. - A short‑term “heat” gauge of recent gains/losses: very hot → move to BIL; very cold → buy AAPL. - If price swings jump, move to BIL. - Otherwise, if tech’s trend is up, own AAPL; if not, stay in BIL.
CheckmarkValue prop
Rule-based Apple/cash strategy: oos beta ~0.88 and risk-off rules for overheated/volatile markets, plus Apple upside in tech-led regimes. Offers diversification and a distinct, lower-correlation return profile versus the S&P 500.

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.
