AutoTracker and the IFT Limits

[tsptalk]

I see there are a few AutoTracker accounts that have made more than two IFT's in January that did not qualify*.

A couple of them looks like they made have been IFT's entered just after Jan 1 to possibly correct their allocation starting the New Year, but because I gave plenty of warning leading up to the start of the New Year - probably to the point of being annoying - these accounts are still marked as having invalid IFT's.

Unfortunately this disqualifies the member from any prizes for the month and the full year. You are still eligible for prizes in other months.

If there is a pattern of multiple months with the limits being broken we'll have to de-list the account. It's not fair to compare results with those who stay within the limits.

As always, if you're just not able to enter your IFT's timely, or whatever the problem, feel free to download our spreadsheets to make it easy to track your own account...

* Moves to the G-fund are allowed after IFT #2.

Are <1% moves also considered valid? Those are usually indicated as such in the comment field.

Yes, valid.

You'll see a couple names near the top of the Autoracker with 3 IFTs and all are big stock and / or F fund moves.

Cactus, Whenever I made a <1% move I always stated that in the comments section. That way if Tom checked on the unusual number of IFT's made for the month it would show why.
