Before today
I was above 0 for only the 2nd time this year. I am beginning to think that Birch has a better system, for me anyway. As I seem to not have a knack for this switching funds everyday thing. Don't know enough about it all to know what I'm doing, Would rather be doing something else than sitting in front of my computer trying to figure out the market or who going to what fund before the cut off, too much like work for me. But that is today, tomorrow will be different.:laugh:

I'll let you in on a secret - Birchtree doesn't have a system. All you need to do is be right and sit tight. Being right is the required amount of work - any bumps along the way are essentially irrelevant. When you get hit with a south paw take advantage of it - see it as an opportunity. Don't fear your give backs - keep focused on the future. By the way, do you know where the top is? I'm always looking.

Well my loss avoidance system told me to be out of the market yesterday (it also would have had me out on 2/27 but I did not listen then either), but no I looked at all the guru's staying in and followed them.:nuts: Trying to avoid trading so much mabybe one or two trades per week. Aiming to maximize my trades by making fewer trades and staying put longer. If I would have used this system YTD I could be up several percent now not struggling to stay above 0.(20/20 hindsight) Guess I am becoming a semi DCAer. Be tight and sit right or something . My loss avodance system tally ( LAST for short) indicates to be out of the market for monday, it is about 50% accurate so I will be going G,F for a bit. Live and learn and this is a great site to learn about this stuff. Something new every day. Thanks for all the great info.

After the losses in FEB and Mar they never recovered and have become almost [FONT="]irrelevant . Although some of them are still beating me.:nuts: Just playing around with the spreadsheets it seems to me that just sticking with a static allocation with a few changes from time to time (semi DCA) would better suit my trading skill level at this point.

New and improved guessing system. I will either be IN (C 33%, S 33%, I 34%) or OUT (G 50%, F 50%). Trying to stick with allocation (semi-DCA) for a few days without jumping around too much. This does not require me to know anything except the previous days TSP returns. No emotions, no usms, osms or squigglly lines. FREEDOM!!!!! I am currently IN.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Changing the mix to Trader Fred's recommendation.
Changing the mix to Trader Fred's recommendation.
- Basically I am IN by default unless two conditions are met. If the F fund is greater than or equal to 0 and two or more of the stock funds or less than 0, then I am OUT for the next day I can move, which ends up being two days later. i.e. if the market meets my conditions on monday i will move my allocations tuesday to take effect wednesday. This is kinda of a 50/50 thing. It will avoid a down day about half the time. I am not sure why it works as it does but YTD it (not me) is over 11%. Completely automatic. It even avoided 2-27. Someone with more analytical skills could probably refine it to be more accurate. By reading this you agree to send a 1% commission of your TSP earning monthly.:laugh:I need smaller print that is still readable.:laugh:
