About

A daily‑rebalanced, all‑weather, rules‑driven blend. In uptrends it rides US tech/growth (often with leverage). When markets overheat or turn down, it quickly shifts to cash/T‑Bills, Treasuries (or their inverse), defensives, commodities, or a VIX‑based hedge (VXX).
NutHow it works
Daily, it asks: Is the market trending up (price above long‑term average)? If yes, favor growth/tech (often QQQ or leveraged TQQQ). If prices look overheated (a quick “heat meter” called RSI is ~80), add a VXX hedge. If trend weakens, shift to T‑Bills (BIL), Treasuries (TLT/TMF) or their inverse (TMV), defensive sectors (XLP), or short QQQ (PSQ/SQQQ). It also holds commodities (DBC/DBO, GLD) when they trend. Key tickers: QQQ (big US tech), TQQQ/SQQQ (3x up/down QQQ), TLT/TMF/TMV (US long Treasuries 1x/3x up/down), GLD (gold), DBC/DBO (commodities/oil), XLP/XLF/XLK/VOX (staples/financials/tech/comms), BTAL (market‑neutral), BIL/SHV (T‑Bills), VXX (fear hedge).

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.
