About

Cash-first portfolio that parks in T‑Bills, then selectively rotates into stocks (esp. tech), Treasuries, gold, commodities or EM when trends are favorable. It adds volatility/short hedges when markets overheat and buys brief dips with leveraged funds. Daily rebalancing.
NutHow it works
Default is cash-like T‑Bills (BIL/SHV/SHY). Each day it asks: Are stocks trending up or stretched? RSI (a speedometer of recent moves: high=hot, low=cold) and moving averages decide. If uptrends are healthy, it owns stocks (often tech) and, when trending, gold/commodities/energy. If overheated, it adds volatility or short hedges (VIXY/UVXY, PSQ/SH). If sold off hard, it tries quick bounce trades with small, leveraged ETFs (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL) or shifts to Treasuries. Rebalances daily.
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.
