What are you going to do without the 6.5 hour transaction delay and two transaction/month limit?
I will trade very conservatively at first so I don't lose it all in one place!

Although I'm no longer trading the TSP, I'll continue to post other trading milestones to this account talk in order to keep it somewhat active. With that said, I first purchased ACAD (Acadia Pharma) @ 1.76 in 2010 while deployed to Iraq. Since then, I had passed on a couple of opportunities (one in July 2015, and another more recently) to sell @ 53.00+.
While studying the charts, I noticed a pattern going back to early May- one where ACAD was cycling between 44.00 and 53.00. Check it out for yourself. I made the decision that I was going to attempt to profit from this. Therefore, I sold my position on 22 Jun @ 52.45 and 52.46 in anticipation of a decline back to 44.00 within a couple of weeks. Before doing so, I sensed that it would once again test its 52-week high of 53.70. And it did just that the next day, intraday, to 53.74! I just didn't think it would test it that soon! Then the next day it made another all-time intraday high to 53.75! You might think by now I had FOMO because I had just missed the all-time high. Not. At. All. Because I had made a decision/plan to sell, and stuck with it, and profited nicely. I mean heck, I went from 1.76 to 52.46 in ten years!
Now remember, I sold on 22 Jun in anticipation of the decline. Guess what its intraday low was today? 48.38. Intraday high? 51.50. Close? 50.19.
Will the pattern I noticed continue? Will, "Once you notice a pattern, it's too late." apply?
My plan is to buy back in around 44.00 - 45.00, then ride it back up to the 50's and then sell. We shall see in the coming days! Care to join me? :bigok:
P.S.
Recently, ACAD filed a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) with the FDA. If approved, I expect it to become a 100+ stock in 2021. Read about that DRP here:

I was on the road Friday. You can imagine the satisfaction I felt as I looked down at my cell to see ACAD reaching an intraday low of 46.93, and then closing @ 47.93. Although I expected ACAD to decline to 44.00 - 45.00 within a couple of weeks (see quoted post below), it sure is happening more quickly than I had anticipated. It could very well be there this week. If it does decline to 44.00 - 45.00, I'll be keeping a close eye on it to see if that's indeed the floor. Especially with the MSM (Mainstream Media) once again hyping up COVID-19. We shall see what happens! I hope you guys/gals are doing well!

That's likely a good place to be now, besides (F). But, (F) hasn't been doing a heckuva whole lot the past month or so. I did see that DWCPF will soon be up against its 200 & 50 EMA's, losing 3.04% this past week. It's been rather flat for the month of June so far... up only 0,81%. So far for June, the S&P is down -0.93%, Dow is down -1.59%, and Naz up 1.67%. The Dow is now below both of its 50 and 200 EMA's. July should be interesting.

Stock Ticker: ACAD
Unless something changes between now and the close of 6 July, it looks like the most recent trading range's intraday low that I was attempting to play off of was set on Friday, 26 Jun @ 46.93. Of course, I was expecting that intraday low to decline to 44.00 - 45.00 by the close of 6 July. One consolation is that I missed a near 9% decline within 4 days after I sold. But as of now (intraday) almost 8% of that has been recovered.
ACAD is not too far away from where I sold: 52.45 - 52.46. Am I disappointed that I sold? Not at all, because that near 9% decline justified it.
The only thing that has changed is that I just have to wait a little longer for ACAD to decline back into the mid-40's... keeping 46.93 in mind as support.
Here's hoping all of your trades go well for you!

Yesterday, ACAD plunged 19.36% to close @ 44.69.
As you can see from my quoted post below, it is now at the level where I anticipated it to return to by 6 July. It just took a couple more weeks+ to get there.
But, I did not "bite" because it was reacting to this news:
https://www.investors.com/news/technology/acad-stock-dives-depression-treatment-unexpectedly-fails-key-study/
And this... although the FDA approved the application, they did not fast-track it:
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200720005745/en/ACADIA-Pharmaceuticals-Announces-U.S.-FDA-Accepted-Filing
Therefore, I will wait for ACAD to establish and settle into a new trading range before buying/selling it again.
Hope y'all are doing well! God Bless! :smile:

Guess where I'd be now had I continued with my buy-n-hold strategy of 60 (C) and 40 (S) throughout the chaos?
4.13%
Of course, I can no longer compare this with my current TSP YTD because I no longer have my military TSP.
Just remember, do not run for the hills (selling at a loss) when everyone else is. RIDE. IT. OUT.
God Bless :smile:
Rod, and thanks for the continued words of wisdom. Well taken, as always. Keep coming back while you gloat in your life's change
