What If Ebbcharts traded the TNA instead of 3X S-Fund? See charts below:
Ebb, your returns with TNA would actually be slightly higher because you wouldn't be charged double commissions to go directly from long to short and vice versa. That's how the sheet is currently setup as it was taken from the S-Fund Challenge. The difference would be slight, but I can correct the formulas if you prefer.
Pattern 7/red-grn-grn means trouble for the I-fund. With today's loss, its win percentage in the I-fund sinks to 48.6%, the lowest in the ebbchart patterns. It also switched the pattern from cash to short, so we now have three short (2, 7, 8), two cash (4, 6), and three long (1, 3, 5) patterns.

Pattern 7/red-grn-grn may be wrong, but not flat-out wrong when it comes to the I-fund. The I-fund lagged the other funds with a gain of only +0.25% today. I'm back in the S-fund (Friday), so I know i'll be on pins and needles tomorrow.

What happened to my butter post? I know it's not up to par with the old Parkay...butter commercial, but still, Promise...butter was a good enough substitute. By the way, they stopped selling Promise margarine (why, oh why).

Right back where we started last Thursday with the double-pattern entry. Tomorrow is supposed to be the deciding day whether the entry is successful or not (winning streak of 7 is on the line), but I've changed my mind to extend the stay in the S-fund until next week Tuesday. We have cash/neutral pattern 6/red-red-grn (WP: 53.6%) on Monday, and long pattern 1/grn-grn-grn (56.1%) on Tuesday. I want to catch long pattern 1/grn-grn-grn since double pattern 1-1 failed to turn positive on both days this week.

There goes single pattern 1/grn-grn-grn again -- being very nice to the S-fund and cruel to the I-fund. At any rate, our double-pattern entry ends today (June 06-17), so the winning streak lives on and continues at 8. Gain for the S-fund should be around +1.23%. If you had TNA locked up during that time, it's a gain of +5.84%.
