About

A daily tactical strategy that rides tech uptrends, buys short‑term dips, and quickly rotates to hedges (inverse tech, volatility), bonds, the dollar, or gold when markets look overheated or trend lower, using RSI as a simple “heat meter.”
NutHow it works
1) Check the market’s long trend: is the S&P 500 (SPY) above its 200‑day average? If yes, play offense; if no, play defense. 2) Use RSI (a 0–100 “heat meter”: high=hot, low=cold) to pick between two choices at each step. Offense: mainly own leveraged tech (TQQQ/TECL/SOXL/UPRO); if things get “too hot,” hedge briefly with SQQQ/SPXU/UVXY or sit in short‑term bonds (SHY/SHV/STIP). Defense: favor bonds, the US dollar (UUP), or gold (UGL). After sharp selloffs, “buy the dip” in tech but fade big one‑day spikes with quick hedges. Rebalances daily.

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.
