FYI,
That last trade transaction costs me 43% of the earnings in commission/administrative costs at TSP. Extremely high commission rates if you ask me!!!:X Or TSP is not getting the initial/final fund price right when they make the calculations.:?
I believe I would be checking your transaction costs to your earnings per trade and notify confirm@tsp.gov when you require an answer to why it costs so much to trade.

Personally I think you still have cob webs. To say it costs $25.00 to trade outside and then compare the tsp to what your gain in share price is like taking two different ways of accounting and trying to say there is something wrong with the system. I think your formulas have no merit because your not comparing your outside trades in the same manner. Here is something else to think about how many times do you trade for $25.00 when your at a loss in the outside market. I bet very few. Currently your in a down trend. So what if your in an up trend. TSP does not charge per trade as far as I have seen but there is some very low fees to maintain our system.

TSP has no transaction fees. The Administrative/Management fees are built into the daily closing share prices and only amount to about 60 cents per $1000 of account balance(annually). The number of trades does not effect that number. You can verify the fee structure on the TSP website. I think you need to recheck your numbers. :^
Lets see if you have $100,000 in TSP and it costs $.60 per $1000 this would mean if you take 100times $.60=$60 for the whole year and you can have as many trades as you want. Beats $25.00 every time the way I been trading. I'm getting a very good deal.Take the $.60 and divide by $1000.00 and you should get .0006 that is your fee.If anyone outside canfind a cheaper rate letme know.I hope you don't take offense to this Techy but this is what I see.
Technician,
Request your assistance in posting your move in a timely manner. I do not doubt your claim that you are doing well for this year, however, we all have a responsibility here to post our allocation accurately and in a timely manner. I believe, one of Tom's rule here is no quarterbacking.
