Charts

Help!

Currently do not subscribe to any chart service.

Prime chart I want to create would show a comparison of the C, S & I funds with the dollar index at the bottom. Must be able to show the difference by market value. Then change to candles based on daily stock increase/decrease. Would really like to be able to go back historically up to 5 years with the capabilities to zoom in on a 30 day period (shows data by day) within the 5 year data base.

Has anybody found a chart service that will provide you this capability?

Am willing to subscribe if necessary!

Thanks for the assist.
 
Spaf,

Thanks for the assist.

Problem is trying to find a data base that contains more than 5 days of data on the S fund. Understand charts are a prefence kinda thing, but when you want an extensive data base for your research focusing on the S fund what do you utilize?
 
Pointman,
S-fund is small caps as you know. S equates to ^DWCPF. Some charts will take the symbol, others won't. A parallel fund would be IShares [IJR] an indexed small cap fund in the ETF's.

You are correct. See S fund. S fund should not be down 1.75, but up .35

DOW JONES WILSHIRE 4500 COMPLET (DJI:^DWCPF)

Just a tidbit of information:

Tracey Ray and Greg Long keep saying "You can't time the market. You can't beat the S&P500."

Well, I'd just like to throw this little hand-grenade out there:

As of today, 84% of those who use the TSPTALK Autotracker ...are beating the S&P 500 this year.

If you are a buy-and-holder, and were holding still the S&P 500, then you would have lost 19.75% of your portfolio's value since the peak in October. And since January 1st, you'd be down over 11%.

Heck, even 9.8% of TSPTALKERS are beating the "safest" fund year to date- the "G" fund.

What do you think about that?

The median loss for all TSPTALKERS in the autotracker, is -6.50 for year to day. Not bad, considering the turmoil that the markets have seen.

James, this is awesome piece of work. I know, I know, relatively simple for some, but the fact that you even think to not only ask the question, but then to answer it for general sharing of what is possible if people actually engage and learn to actively manage their own accounts is Wunderbar and creativity in action. Kudoes. Thank you for all the work you do on all our behalves.

James,

It looks like the y-axis is off on this graph. It appears as if the F and G funds are in negative territory when in fact they are positive.

Also, count me in on the graph if you wish. Though I am not in the auto-tracker any more, my YTD return is just about 1% (I'll have to check my spreadsheet at work to be sure of the exact figure)
