How did your 2017 end up going?
I started this year in Jahbulon's Old Mix until June then various Dailies throught the rest.
I ended up with a +23.17% 2017 real tsp yearly return using seasonal strategies. Beating the C Fund buy and hold by +1.25%...
Congrats folks on a great year and looking forward to many happy/heafty returns for 2018!

Re: How did your 2017 end up going?
I pretty much did exactly the same as you. Started with Jahby's mix and swapped to a couple different dailies in July. I screwed up my fantasy TSP a couple of times, forgetting to make the IFT after I made the real life IFT. My real TSP made about 22.9% this year, therefore beating the S&P 500! I'm very happy!

I was Dave Ramsey 60/20/20 until late Aug before doing daily. Moved around a bit thru 3-4 strategies.
Finished the year at 22.13%. About 10% before switching.
I intend to follow 20241 exclusively this year.

I played each month by ear(eye). Just watched the current events and listened. My goal for my first year was 10%. I landed 18.85%. I'm happy!!!

I'm a big Dave Ramsey fan myself. Did his plan for a long time. He would not have pleasant things to say about this Daily Seasonal stuff, me thinks. Not initially, at least. Lol.

Re: How did your 2017 end up going?
I was at another well known website following a well known service....Was not real happy with all the "on the fly-curve fitting changes" so I ended my subscription and found my way over here...
Joined in late August, played with TSP calc building tons of spreadsheets and started trading the dailies on 9/21 utilizing a 70% allocation
I will start 2018 utilizing 19984(0F)....I will continue to make spreadsheets...I hope to continue to make money...
Looking forward to an awesome 2018!

My TSP balance doubled this year thanks to some promotions, solid advice in TSPcenter forums, a good market and an aggressive increase in contributions as a percentage of my pay. My only regret is that I didn't find this website sooner.
Re: How did your 2017 end up going?
I started the Daily Systems in Early August with only about 6% before I started. I'm not even sure what I was trying to do up to that point. Some sort of follow the leaders that wasn't working. Anyway. I'm very happy for finding TSPCalc as I ended the year with 17.85%. Beat every other funds' B&H out there when looking from August 2 on.
