About

A daily, rule‑driven portfolio that watches sector “heat” and volatility. When markets look too hot, it hides in VIX hedges and cash; on selloffs it buys broad tech/US stocks; in calm periods it favors low‑vol stocks and selective short‑vol exposure.
NutHow it works
Daily, it checks short‑term strength with RSI (0–100 gauge of how “hot/cold” price moves; >70 very hot, <30 very cold). If sectors run too hot—XLK(tech), VTV(value), VOX(comms), XLP(staples), XLY(disc.), XLF(fin.)—it parks in fear hedges: VIXY/VIXM (VIX futures) and cash (BIL). If fear is high but stocks look washed‑out, it buys SPY/QQQ/XLK. Otherwise it prefers steadier funds (USMV) and, when calm, uses SVXY, plus BTAL/gold(IAU)/dollar(UUP).
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.
