About

Daily, buy QQQ if it looks washed‑out; otherwise buy the more oversold of defensive staples (XLP) or long corporate bonds (IGLB). Short‑term mean‑reversion, one‑ETF‑at‑a‑time rotation.
NutHow it works
Every day it holds exactly one ETF. It uses a 10‑day RSI (a 0–100 gauge of how stretched recent moves are; 30 or less = oversold). Rule: if QQQ (tech‑heavy Nasdaq‑100) has RSI ≤ 30, buy QQQ. Otherwise, buy whichever is more oversold between XLP (defensive consumer‑staples stocks) and IGLB (long‑term investment‑grade corporate bonds). It rechecks and can switch daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Risk-adjusted diversification vs the S&P: a low-beta, 1-ETF rotation that stays defensive (XLP/IGLB) and buys QQQ when oversold. Out-of-sample Calmar ~1.13 and Sharpe ~0.86 indicate downside protection with potential tech upside.

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.
