Just a quick note..

I think yesterday (12th) would have been the day to get back in,
C, S and I funds.. Slow STO's are below 20, C has reached resistance levels from early Mar and mid Jan, the others have passed the resistance with little effect, so I don't know if it really means much now..,

I'm looking for a relatively down day today and I'm back in S Fund.

S looks like the fastest horse right now, based on VXF:SPY and VXF:EFA

S looks like the fastest horse right now, based on VXF:SPY and VXF:EFA

S has also recently been the most volatile (high stddev) and the least predictable/rational mover

Bloobs,
I use Std Dev as measure of mean reversion and trend direction, but not as a measure of volatility. Could you provide a comparison of S/VXF/$DWFCP on the basis of own its previous performance, or as a comparison with other funds?

What are you using to forecast/predict S?

12^2 - i just amateurishly created and eyeballed this 1-year IVV vs VXF price change comparison chart that illustrates the deviation differences and the occasional divergence between their price actions.

You could plot the standard deviation, but it would be tough to compare because the base prices are on different scales. Bollinger Band Widths normalize this.
On StockCharts they look like this.

I'm not familiar with TradingView. Can it display a function (e.g. Std Dev or moving average) of two stocks side by side as it does for their prices?

I could use BB, but the problem with using a BB indicators is that I cant compare its volatility (stddev) with another index(es) on the same chart--at least not without getting a headache first

I do like the free Tradingview charts on TSPCENTER (thanks again MJ) but I am not sure if it could do the side-by-side comparisions you mentioned.

My position: 100% S.

AGG / F Fund:...
F Nothing new here.. still in decline, stay away

SPX / C Fund:...
So far, FIBS has worked, Slow STO has started to turn up, MACD has not caught up yet, but I think it will. It looks like price has bounced off support from early march. I think its time to get back into C or S funds.

DWCPF / S Fund:...
S, Same as C Fund,

EFA / I Fund:...
I dont know how to read this one.. There are gaps in early and mid March which could act as support now, I dont think I would get into I Fund now, It has not gained much in the past 2 month overall.

Past 5 days returns..
F Fund... -1.14%
C Fund... 1.15%
S Fund... 2.41%
I Fund.... -0.56%

My Magic 8 ball says S fund is the place to be for the next week or so.
