Accordinging to the Automatic Tracker Software, I incurred a lose -.04%
I believe this is in error as I believe it should show a gain of +.11%. I've
attempted a PM , but didn't get a response and the error is still present.
Could someone please help correct the error.
54%(G) resulted in unchanged
30%(C) resulted in a lose of -0.06%
20%(S) resulted in a gain of +0.62%
All told, this resulted in a 5/13/08 COB gain of +0.11%

I agree the tracker should have calculated a Daily return of +0.1058% for May 13th, rather than the reported -0.04%. Your allocation was 50% G, 30% C, and 20% S for May 13th. You made an IFT to 54% G, 31% C, and 15% S at COB May 13th. This was your third IFT into equity funds in May (C fund went from 30% to 31%). How did you manage that since the new rules only allow two IFTs into Equity funds in a calendar month?
Ocean will have to address this return issue. I do not have access to the tracker database.

Ocean:
no one had updated tonight by 11 pm, so I went ahead and entered today's prices, and did the sync for 2008-05-19.
It's been a long time since I did one, and I didn't sync the days between friday and today (05-17, 05-18). But I didn't think that was necessary.
It turns out it looks like everyone came out just fine, with one exception.
nsurf9 showed up as having lost. 3.45% today. I don't know how- he was in "I" fund, and showed an IFT to "G" today a 12:02. It should have been within the proper cutoff time, so somehow the "I" only in his account showed a 3.45% decrease, when it should have been exactly 0%, since "I" stayed at 24.66.
Not sure what happened, and why only his account.

Mr_BOOOOM reported an error in his Daily return for May 19th. The autotracker shows a Daily return of -1.90% for MR_BOOOOM while he was 100% C fund, with a IFT to 100% G Fund. Both nsurf9 and MR_BOOOOM initiated a IFT to 100% G Fund.
Some members' returns were incorrect with new IFT in the last two days. It was caused by the manual adjustment two weeks ago because of the multiple lines problem. I will fix it this weekend when I return home and I will update the fund price and sync members returns (today to Friday) this weekend. Meanwhile, members still can do IFT as all IFT data will be recorded.

Read Ocean's post above regarding updating fund prices. He will correct returns and update fund prices this weekend when he returns. He is on TDY and cannot adjust/correct things until he returns and has access to the tracker database. The member standings/rankings are updated when the fund prices are entered and the synchronization (sync) is performed. This "sync" process calculates the returns for each member based upon the entered fund prices and the fund allocations.
Errors had been corrected for members:
nsrf9, MR_Boooom, TerpTrader, SugarandSpice, Gumby, FiveTears, Wolverine, and SteadyGain.
The problems were caused by the multiple line error occurred a couple of weeks ago with these affected members now entered their first IFT and triggered a minor problem that I did not anticipate. This is because I did the manually adjustment on the database and did not correct the other associated database table. Now these members should be fine.
My recent work assignment required me constantly on the road, so if some database related problems occurred during the week, I have to halt the price entry and sync function in order to stop the accumulative problems to save the time to correct it when I return home for the weekend. As an example, it took me about 4 hours this morning to correct the above members' error by hand with pen, paper and calculator.
Another note, I noticed some members have more than 2 IFT limits per month. I understand this autotracker is for entertainment purpose only and 95% of the members follow this rule. The question is that should we all follow this rule and everyone has the same level of playing field.

This is a good question. With the new rule, starting in May, no one is able to make more transfers in their TSP accounts than the new TSP limits allow. So, we should enforce a similar rule fior the autotracker starting in May. But we may be able also to satisfy the active ETF folks. Read on.
While we don't care if your transfers on the autotracker match those of your TSP account (since we can't know what you are actually doing in your account - and we are more interested in seeing what strategy works rather than seeing what your account is actually doing), we do care that members are following the new rules so that we are all on a level playing field in the monthly contests.
We may need to do the asterisk (*) thing for anyone going over the limit after April 30, 2008. If you have an (*) you may not qualify for the monthly / annual prizes...
OR
We may need to start a second category. I know some folks are trading ETF's and some are having success doing it. We'll have to talk about that part a little more.
But I suggest pointing out the accounts on the tally that are not staying within the limits.
Thanks for all of your work on the autotracker ocean! I should be able to take over some time in July. Although I may have to bug you with some questions for a while.

Ocean/Tom:
Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication maintaining the Tracker.
Another note, keep in mind that members can make two IFT's to any fund or fund combination and then they can scale down to the G-Fund as many times as they wish in a month. You might have someone with 10 IFT's but 8 of those are moves to the G-Fund.
It seems that except for two or three almost everybody is sticking to the TSP IFT rule.
I would suggest that those not following the rule to be removed from the tracker because it serves no purpose to follow something that can't be applied in real life.
Thank you again.
