The Duration Dial

About this strategy

Holds the single US bond sleeve (short, intermediate, investment-grade corporate, or total-market) with the strongest trailing six-month total return, or T-bills when none of them has real momentum.

1. Agent triggers

   Runs weekly on Mondays at 3:05 PM. It consistently checks for the bond fund with the strongest six-month total return.

2. Computes its signals

   It evaluates total returns from a pre-defined list of five specific bond funds. The agent decides which fund to hold based on the strongest performance or defaults to T-bills if none show momentum.

3. Sets the target portfolio

   The target portfolio is always composed of one type of bond fund, either short, intermediate, corporate, or total-market, or T-bills. It adjusts holdings based on weekly evaluations.

4. Executes orders

   Your account trades toward that target, sells before buys, inside the platform's risk rails: stop-loss and daily loss limits you control.
