Standard deviations are shrinking.

[mmmmmbeer]

So have you guys noticed this? As time goes on, 2017 rates of returns are getting higher. Subsequently the Standard Deviations are shrinking as 2017 grows.

For instance, when I first found the 7980 it had a STD of 16.8-ish. Then a week or two ago I saw it was at 16.67. I thought maybe I'd wrote down the first one wrong.

Now today.. it's at 16.37?

So yeah... obviously the tspcalc is using the current year in the calculation of each strategies STD.

I think we maybe need to ask Matt about keeping the "current year" out of calculation of cyphering until the year is done. Otherwise our numbers are changing and skewed throughout the year.

What ya's think?

No-can-do, sir. As you said, the standard deviation for 04-17 changes every day. But so does the average, because you are looking at a changing dataset. It does not make sense to show the average through today but the standard deviation through the end of last year, because those numbers are no longer using the same dataset.

Instead, you may consider changing your time window to 04-16. Then all of your data will be stable.

Ahhh.. that makes much more sense! Shut up with your LOGIC!

Also that's why I use the tool.. I don't make them. Hahah!

Does everyone else feel like 2000 lbs has been lifted from our shoulders now that we have these strategies? Just the hope of them working out as they have in the past makes us view our retirement in a much more positive light. Muchas Gracias to the guys who created this program.

Showing the stats for the last 12 months (excluding the current) would also be helpful.

Oh yes indeed, it's just nice having a plan. Ditto, much thanks for developing this site and strategies.

I would like to say "thank you" for all your time and efforts. I know programming tspcalc was not easy.

[dearsmiths]

Is there a way to download all of the strategies into Excel?

Thx

without a doubt, just having the knowledge base and tools to make a decent decision, and ask those that are much smarter than me in this area is a huge help. I wish I would have paid more attention to this site years ago.
