charts before cutoff. S fund has now crossed above its signal line in MACD. I fund is close.

Hi KB, My moves this year have been based on when MACD crosses above or below its signal lines.
Moves this year:
1/2 - 100G
1/23 - 70G, 10C, S20 (SPX had crossed positive and S fund looked like it was about to cross positive)
2/1 - moved to I10, 30F and moved out of S and C because of MACD cross downs (at noon cutoff--C fund later whipsawed and reversed later in day for C fund--uggh). Exiting S fund was a good move.
2/6 - moved 25% to C, 75%G. C fund is only one that had positive MACD. I noted yesterday that S fund is looking like it will be crossing positive but no IFT left to move in. Today S fund is still looking to be good to go as well as C fund.
I have been reconsidering whether I should continue with this strategy and pretty much decided that there must be more than MACD considered. So, I am back to an older strategy of looking at overall picture: RSI, Slow Stochastic, MACD, BB mid-point slope, and 7 versus 13 EMA cross overs.
LOL... yes, sometimes I do feel like I am chasing my tail.

Thank you so much Jacknimble. That is very helpful information. I like Charles Schwab too. Fidelity sounds great! Best wishes to you!

I would echo Fidelity as a good place to roll your TSP over. I manage my non-TSP personal account in Fidelity and my wife's and parent's accounts in Vanguard, which is a good choice too, but I like Fidelity much better. I am still working so I still have TSP too. Fidelity seems easier to use. Vanguard is clunky and sometimes not easy to find what you want to do. It's there, they just hide it. These are the main ones I have used during the past few years.
Good luck

Good morning, Here are charts before noon cutoff. I was able to transact this morning. Moved to 25C/75G. Thanks to Ravensfan for good advice on that move.

Hi Epic,
Very good video and helpful! Thank you so much.. it is very appreciated! :smile:
I also plan to move over slowly once I retire... looking into it now. Also checking out Charles Schwab and Interactive Brokers. I want to get one of those accounts that lets you use play money to practice. I saw a couple a few years ago, but forgot which ones provide that type of functionality.
Best wishes to you!
PS wanted to give you reputation points, but I must spread some around... whaa...

Hey there, sorry your having such a rough time. I'm sure most people here can relate.
I'd agree with Tom on Fidelity. I left Gov Service maybe 2 years ago but still have my TSP, keeping it locked in G-fund until the future looks brighter overall (possibly within a year).
I do however have a side account with Fidelity for just swing trading and stock investing. I find Fidelity to be just fine with no negative issues what so ever. I opened an account with just $1,000.00 to start since I was new to this, and slowly transferred over more as I got more comfortable with it and learned how things work. They're also very helpful if you have any questions, and the site is very easy to navigate. There's still LOTS of things that I don't know as far as tools for the well seasoned trader, but I keep it super simple and it works fantastic. No complaints.
For those who want to just match the TSP Funds, here's a vid that's a great help. I think I posted it once before a long while ago. Enjoy......

Just soooo disgusted and frustrated! So TSP still sucks as usual. 
Tried to login online for 20 minutes and it would not respond. A friend tried the same as was unable to get in. Called TSP to transact by phone 12 minutes until noon and got person on line with 8 minutes to go. She talked slow as molasses and could not get it transacted in time. I hate TSP and can hardly wait to leave it when I retire.
Can anyone out there recommend a good alternative for retirement?

Good morning, here are charts before noon cutoff. C fund's MACD whipsawed after noon cut off and after my exit last week. It is reversed now. Considering to exit I and F and enter back into C. Trying to find better strategy and getting frustrated. :notrust: Best wishes to you all!

So I feel like kicking myself for my move to F and I fund yesterday, but I am sticking there. I looked at C fund underlying top 10 stocks and see that Meta is up over 20% today... no wonder C fund is up. Wow!
