Is there a way to get day to day data for those years, I only believe you can get month to month data, I have made up to three changes in a month, some within 4 days of each other, that is how it can change so quickly, and yes I have thought and been asked about those questions about the bulls and bears market. I am good with #'s and even if I lose once in a while, I do not believe that I will keep this 90% record rate of transaction. I have faith in what I see. Even in a down market you had times where the market gained and then went to lose again. I hope I can keep adjusting to this, I am not trying to say I my system is perfect, but I hope I can stay ahead of the game with it. We shall see. I will look at the monthly data and who knows. I will let you know in a little while once I see how it looks. But without day to day #'s, I not sure I could use this system.

One other thing Frizz. Not to take away from what you have accomplished because you have done what I have not been able to this year, but your system will work best in this type of market environment, a choppy volatile market. Like I mentioned, a bear market or a bull market for that matter, may need another set of requirements for fund changes. Think about that. You can havedifferent type of criteria based on whether the market is trending (like a bear or bull market) or oscillating, as it is now.

Like I've said before, I believe you are onto something but constant tweaking as you gain experience from different market conditions will make it better.

Thanks again,
Tom

It certainly sounds like an effective plan. One thing you may want to work on is what you will do in a bear market. It seems like it could always have you in the stock funds as they go down. You might try using 2000, 2001 or 2002 data to see how your system would hold up.

Thanks,
Tom

I am very suprised at how well I am doing, I have hit on every transaction except for the move to the C fund on March 2nd. I have made up for that one, since. I believe my #'s just tell me when the market is in for a correction. Whether down or up. When I make my change we have either hit a high in the market and unless it keeps on going further it should start to go down, to a point where I hope that I hit again, where it has gone low enough and in time will bypass the point of my low and go high again. Just hope I keep getting lucky on this, so far so good.

If you haven't check out my account, try to read and understand FrizzB account, in Members Allocation, it works for me and I am up over 9 % for the year. My last transaction hit perfectly from the F to the S, I am still looking for a 15 point rise in the S fund and then it will probably be time to get into the F or G fund. Just my opinion. I am not a day trader. I wait for my #'s to tell me what to do.

Welcome roulette! Love the name.

You can make as many transfers as you want in a day, but only the last one prior to the noon ET deadline will take affect. So if you change your mind, just go in and initiate another transfer. In your case you will be in the G fund Monday no matter what you do. Any new transfer before Monday at noon would be for Tuesday.

Make sense?

Tom. I made a transfer to 100% in G fund before noon today. Is it feasible to make another transfer today or later on this weekend to more stocks,or perhaps wait until early Monday morning.I guess I jumped the gun this morningas the funds seemed to perform better than yesterday. Does TSP allow for more than one transfer\day? Just wondering, I am new at thisFund\stocksgame and confusion sets in some times.:?

The indices stayed surprising buoyant late today. I was hoping for some selling but the fact that traders were willing to take positions home over the weekend bodes well for the market next weekin my opinion. The buyers are getting a little bolder again.

The Nasdaq continued itsweakness but the third support area I talked about Tuesday seemed to hold on Friday. I said...

Just in case you are looking for a potential target on the downside, ~ 2019 would fill the gap. After that 2000 (psychological) then about 1975 (trend line).

Well the gap was filled, then 2000 came and went and today it hit 1982 where that trend line I talked about actually is (not 1975). If that area of supportcan't hold, thenthe floor falls out becausenext area of support isn't until 1905.

Better news is that the S&P did make a higher high today and a higher low (compared to yesterday). It appears to be at least a temporary change in trend to the upside.

Before today's deadline I am going to get a little bold, hoping that nerves scare the market toward the weekend close. I am putting 25% in C, 15% in S and 25% in I fund, leaving 35% in G. So I'll be65% in stocks for Monday.

I am basing this on what could happen by the end of today since we are forced to make decisions by noon ET. The S&P 500 just went over yesterday's high which is always a good sign.Traders couldget nervous about holding stocks over the weekend giving us a nice price to be in for Monday. If we don't get late selling, we may be at a reversal ready to head up. We are very oversold andI am running out of excuses to be out.

I am only going 65% into stocks in case I am wrong and I will still have some ammunition to buy more if we do go down early next week.

I must be driving some of you crazy owith all of these transfers but this is just how I would play my account in a market of this nature.
