Shouldn't you be saying this like about 35 min. ago so others could?

I can understand that. Too bad. You might need a smart phone so you can at least do your IFT. I hope you don't eat more loss because of it. This can get wicked fast. I don't use your moves but some probably do. So good luck my friend.

That's why the 2 IFT/month limit really bites.
Yeah, it sure does ... especially when you're working a system. I know my system performance this year isn't too hot but, overall, I have to say that I'm pleased with it. It's a little more work than I had hoped for, especially the predictive aspect -- have to figure out how to automate that in some way. The times my brain told me to do something other than what the system was saying really hurt my performance ... and I've learned that I really need to be more diligent with keeping up with the stats. I think I'm going to have to start updating them at night rather than in the morning as I've been doing. But, that's why I'm having this little shake-out phase. : )
Looks like I made the right call. Today's performance as of 11:10am EDT promises more cellar dwelling, so I'm staying 100% G.
Well, we spent the day sucking pond water. At least we managed to keep our "ALERT" status. But it's going to take a .85% increase tomorrow to maintain that ... anything lower and the charts signal an "OUT" signal. So ... what to do? Well, watch the charts tomorrow ... if we get our 0.85% day, that'll only keep us in an "ALERT" status. It's going to require a 2.07% day to get us into buying territory. So ... the solution seems obvious ... continue to sit on the sidelines. 100% G tomorrow.
today's performance (8/20/13) caused the charts to trigger an ALERT, indicating a possible change in strategy ahead. I did the analysis, and if it looks like the S fund is going to close above 1.14% tomorrow (unlikely, IMHO), then the charts suggest that it's time to BUY. However, anything below that indicates that we should continue to wait-and-see. So ... check the markets about a quarter-to tomorrow so you have some time to make your decision.
Well, today's showing (8/22/2013) moved the charts to signal a BUYing opportunity. However, it's not a strong buy as a .0713% shift to the downside will cause us to slip back into ALERT status and should the market slip by .6739% or more, we'll generate an OUT status. Any upside movement though would seem to strengthen the buying opportunity. So ... watch the charts tomorrow morning and plan your decision accordingly.
