About

Quarterly, it uses bonds vs T‑Bills to decide risk. If bonds are strong, own the best recent performer among QQQ, MDY, and SHY; if not, hold IEF. A simple switch between stocks and Treasuries based on recent trends.
NutHow it works
Every 3 months, it checks a simple “risk” gauge: have broad US bonds (BND) beaten cash‑like T‑Bills (BIL) over the last 60 days? - If yes (risk ON): put 100% into the single 90‑day top performer among QQQ (big, tech‑heavy US stocks), MDY (mid‑size US stocks), and SHY (1–3yr Treasuries). - If no (risk OFF): hold IEF (7–10yr US Treasuries).
CheckmarkValue prop

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.
