bond_momentum_longshort_v1 if (pct_change(TLT, 60) > 0) and (pct_change(TLT, 60) > pct_change(SHY, 60)) then go long TLT and short SHY close both legs after 30 calendar days or when pct_change(TLT, 60) < 0 scale the long and short legs to achieve an annualized portfolio volatility of 8% (risk-parity scaling) TLT, SHY [1] cerebras
bond_term_premium_slope_v1 if (yield(TLT) - yield(SHY) > median(yield(TLT)-yield(SHY)) + 1*std(yield(TLT)-yield(SHY))) then go long TLT close when the spread falls below its median or after 60 days, whichever comes first target 6% annualized volatility; position size = target_vol / recent_60d_vol(TLT) TLT, SHY [1] cerebras
bond_liquidity_spread_v1 if (yield(TLT) - yield(BND) > median_spread + 0.5*std_spread) then go long TLT and short BND close when spread reverts to median or after 45 days risk-parity to 7% annualized volatility across the two legs TLT, BND [1] cerebras
bond_regime_duration_v1 if (rolling_std(TLT, 60) < low_vol_threshold) then allocate 100% to TLT else allocate 30% to TLT and 70% to SHY re-balance monthly; switch allocations whenever the volatility regime flips scale total exposure to target 8% annualized portfolio volatility TLT, SHY [1] cerebras
bond_credit_spread_term_v1 if (yield(HYG) - yield(LQD) > median_spread + 1*std_spread) then go long LQD and short HYG close when spread narrows to median or after 40 days risk-parity to 7% annualized volatility across the long and short legs LQD, HYG [1] cerebras

bond_liquidity_premium_v1 long IEF and short SHY when the yield spread between intermediate and short-term Treasuries widens by more than 1 standard deviation over past 120 days exit when spread narrows to mean or after 45-day hold dollar-neutral long-short position, targeting 6% annualized volatility IEF, SHY [1] xai
