Strategy Rules

The strategy is a close relative to TuringTrader’s Buoy. The most notable difference is the market regime filter. While Buoy uses Market Vane for this purpose, this strategy uses a simplified filter based on a 10d/50d EMA crossover. Further differences include the trend-detection for the assets.

Both of these differences explain why this strategy starts investing in corporate bonds in August 2022, while Buoy remained in T-bills.
