About

A daily risk-on/risk-off plan: if transports lead, it “turns on” leverage; otherwise it stays standard. It reacts to QQQ being too hot/cold and uses S&P 500 trends to rotate among growth (QQQ/TQQQ), defensive sectors (XLP/XLU or 2x UGE/UPW), or cash (BIL).
NutHow it works
Daily it does three checks. 1) Is transports (IYT) stronger than the S&P 500 (SPY) by RSI(21)—a 0–100 “hot/cold” meter? If yes, it allows leverage (TQQQ/UGE/UPW); if not, it stays standard (QQQ/XLP/XLU). 2) QQQ’s RSI(10): >79 (too hot) → cash (BIL) or short via PSQ; <30 (washed‑out) → buy QQQ or 3x TQQQ. 3) If neither, use SPY vs 30/200‑day averages: uptrends → growth, choppy/down → defensive or cash.

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.
