About

Daily, rules pick between aggressive tech‑tilted ETFs (TQQQ/UPRO/TECL) in calm uptrends and defensive cash/bonds/gold or short/volatility funds in stress. A bond engine switches between long‑ and short‑Treasuries (TMF/TMV). Goal: ride uptrends, cut drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Each day it checks if stocks are trending up (price above 200‑day average). If yes and short‑term momentum is healthy (RSI—a 0–100 “speed” score—not overheated), it owns aggressive stock funds (mainly tech/Nasdaq via TQQQ/UPRO/TECL). If momentum is extreme or weak, it parks in cash‑like T‑bills (BIL/SHV), Treasuries (TMF) or gold, or briefly uses bear/volatility funds (PSQ/SH/SQQQ/VIXY). A separate bond engine flips between long‑ and short‑Treasuries (TMF/TMV) as rates trend.
CheckmarkValue prop
Adaptive, rule-based strategy blends leveraged tech exposure with diversifying hedges (bonds, cash, gold) to chase uptrends while managing risk. It provides lower market beta and a complementary, diversified profile versus the S&P 500.

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.
