About

A daily, rules-based switch. When biotech (XBI) is red‑hot, trending, and volatile, it buys 10 strong healthcare/biotech names. If not, it parks in a single defensive bond/defensive‑sector ETF picked by recent weakness.
NutHow it works
It uses XBI (a biotech fund) as a thermometer. If biotech is extremely hot (RSI: recent gain speed >80), trending up (20‑day average gain >0), and very jumpy (high volatility), it buys 10 of the strongest healthcare/biotech names by recent momentum. Otherwise, it moves 100% into one “defensive” ETF (bonds or defensive sectors) that’s fallen the most recently (lowest RSI). Rebalanced 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.
