About

Buys beaten‑down tech/growth when semiconductors are washed out; otherwise it holds growth in uptrends and hides in T‑Bills when the market looks overheated or weak. A tactical, rules‑based, risk‑on/risk‑off ETF rotation.
NutHow it works
RSI is a 0–100 meter of how fast price has been moving; <30 = washed out, >70 = overheated. 1) If semiconductors (SMH, a fast‑moving tech group) are washed out (RSI<30), put about 2/3 into the single weakest recent performer among VTI, ONEQ, XLK, SMH, IVW; leave the rest in cash. 2) Else if the S&P 500 (VOO) looks overheated (RSI>70), hold T‑Bills (BIL). 3) Else if VOO is above its 200‑day average, buy VUG; otherwise hold BIL.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic risk-on/off rotation: ride growth when the uptrend is intact, but shift to cash/T-bills when markets heat up or semis flush out. In out-of-sample tests it delivers solid risk-adjusted results (Calmar ~0.83) and diversification 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.
