yep. alevin is a trader now.
:laugh: longer timeframes primarily, ie catching the intermediate trends is the trading objective in tsp. Haven't done so hot with the uptrends but certainly missed the big downtrends, last several years.
so currently intermediate/longterm trend has gone into bear mode as of this week , in DeMark terms (Trade Trekker | Spiral Out – Keep Going), which my new toy (BB x Accelerator Bands x 30-EMA) on weekly/monthly basis (see Freecharts link up above), was already forecasting.
Rule #1-if the trade promptly goes against you, bail! Rule #2-keep your losses small! Maxing out tsp and Roth savings + Cap preservation comes first at my age-retirement possibilities/necessities loom on the not too distant horizon. Hint: I have 10 years on BC. He has more room to take bigger risks.
