About

A daily, rules-based rotation that holds one ETF at a time. It checks market trend (SPY 200‑day) and short‑term “heat” (RSI) from leveraged sensors (TQQQ, SPXL, SQQQ) to favor JEPQ/JEPI in normal times and shift to BTAL or BIL when markets get extreme.
NutHow it works
Daily switch using trend (moving averages) and short‑term momentum (RSI). Uptrend (SPY > 200‑day): if TQQQ RSI >79 buy BTAL (defensive); else if SPXL RSI >80 buy BIL (T‑bills); else buy JEPQ (Nasdaq + option income). Downtrend: if TQQQ RSI <31 buy XLK (tech); else if SPY RSI <30 buy JEPI (broad + option income); else if TQQQ < 20‑day avg buy BTAL; else if SQQQ RSI <31 buy BIL; else buy JEPQ. RSI flags overbought/oversold; moving averages mark trend.
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.
