About this strategy

A concise bond-switcher that holds short-term Treasury (BIL) when its 10-day RSI is higher than that of intermediate Treasury (IEF), and flips to IEF when BIL's RSI falls below IEF's. The strategy moves between the two bond types to keep the portfolio in the safest, most liquid segment when short-term momentum wanes, and in the slightly higher-yielding segment when short-term bonds are stronger.
