Just wondering if you saw the note about the S fund crossing the friend line. That would have been a great day to buy

I believe the force line has to move in the positive direction @ or around 0 to confirm the move to S.

Yes, that would have been a good time to move to the S.
My buy signal with this system (as is now) says: Friend up 2 days in a row, while the Force is above 0.
I'm going with that a little longer, before I change it.

Damn it, I was close :D Thanks for the clarification

Ok, so for Monday, if the blue line thingy is up again, while the pink line thingy is still above zero, that means I should go back to S Fund?
Just trying to learn here.

If the GREEN line thingy (not blue) has not had two days (in a row) down, while the pink line thingy is still above zero, that means this system says be in S Fund.

Yeah it kinda complicated, :oops: I may work on a one “line thingy” indicator line. One that is a combination of the Friend and Force.
Lately the Friend by it’s self has been the best indicator. Force has been too slow to signal an IFT.
I’m thinking of going back and revisiting the KISS principle.

Thanks Phil, I like that word “Thingy”, :roll: the Thingy Index, the Thingy Guide, or the Thingy Rule? :?

Perhaps you can "offset" the force line vertically, so it crosses the zero line sooner? If I understand your method correctly, the zero line is somewhat arbitrarily derived--and therefore adjustable per the most recent empirical evidence.

Force is a momentum thing. And called it good for that sell on Jan 22.
Maybe different indicator lines for buy than sell, have to do a lot of backlooking.
Slow momentum for selling, fast momentum for buying?

The "Thingy Index" would be so cool. I would tell all my friends I invented a name for complex investment strategies. (They would never believe that though).
