Reference assets (not tradeable but usable as signals)

Some assets cannot be traded through Mobius but can be used as indicators or cross-asset signals in your strategies. For example:
AssetUse
^VIXVolatility index — use as a fear gauge in strategies
^GSPCS&P 500 index — use for market regime filters
^TNX10-Year Treasury yield
FRED:FEDFUNDSFed Funds Rate from FRED
Reference these by name in your strategy description and Mobius fetches the data automatically. 
Buy SPY when VIX drops below 20.
Avoid trades when the 10-Year Treasury yield is above 5%.
