About

Daily offense/defense. If bonds trend up and markets are calm, it “surfs” oversold dips in leveraged tech; otherwise it holds short‑term Treasuries. In risk‑off it rotates into Treasuries, defensive sectors, currencies/commodities, or bearish ETFs. K‑1‑free.
NutHow it works
Daily: 1) If BND is up over ~11 weeks → Risk ON; else → Risk OFF. Risk ON: If SPY’s volatility is low, buy the most “oversold” (by RSI: a 0–100 recent buy/sell meter; low=oversold) from leveraged tech (TQQQ/TECL) plus a bond (IEF/SHY). If not low, hold SHY. Risk OFF: If TLT is falling (rates rising), rotate among USD/yen/hedged foreign stocks/commodities/market‑neutral and bearish ETFs; may add shorts. If TLT is rising, favor Treasuries and defensive sectors with low RSI. K‑1‑free.

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.
