About

55% sits in T‑bills for stability. The other 45% rotates: buy XLP when staples trend, buy 2× Nasdaq (QLD) when tech is oversold or the market is in an uptrend, otherwise hold long Treasuries (TLT). Seeks growth with a safety base.
NutHow it works
- 55% stays in SHV (very short-term US Treasuries). - The other 45% rotates: 1) If consumer-staples (XLP) shows strong short-term momentum, buy XLP. 2) Else, if big tech (QQQ) is short-term “oversold,” buy QLD (2× Nasdaq-100). 3) Else, if the S&P 500 is in a long-term uptrend, buy QLD; otherwise buy TLT (long Treasuries).

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.
