About

A daily “market weather” system. When conditions are healthy it tilts to tech (QQQ, SMH, sometimes 2x QLD/SSO). When risk rises or the dollar strengthens it shifts to USDU, BTAL, and gold/commodities (GLD, PDBC, OILK) or staples/materials, picking the steadier mix.
NutHow it works
It reads a few “dashboard lights” each day: 1) Is the S&P 500 in a long‑term uptrend? 2) Is the Nasdaq very weak or not right now? 3) Are long bonds and the US dollar trending up? 4) A TIPS check (inflation‑linked bonds). If healthy, it favors tech‑heavy stocks (QQQ/SMH, sometimes 2x QLD/SSO). If not, it moves to the dollar (USDU), a stock‑neutral fund (BTAL), gold/commodities (GLD, PDBC, OILK), staples/materials (XLP/XLB) or junior gold miners (GDXJ), choosing the steadier set by recent drops. Rebalances 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.
