Strategy
Using momentum on the classic 60/40 portfolio, drawdown and performance are both improved. This strategy takes the simple SMA cross of both SPY and TLT and determines whether to hold both, only one, or move to cash. The optimized SMA crosses are 200-20 for SPY and 80-15 for TLT; when only one asset has its long window greater than its short window, 100% of the portfolio will be allocated to that asset.
