Just because I give you advice, It doesn't mean I know more than you, It just means I've done more stupid stuff.
Re: TSP Forecast Apr
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:EFAsnaffu wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 6:20 am I think yesterday (12th) would have been the day to get back in,

Re: TSP Forecast Apr
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?

Re: TSP Forecast Apr
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.12squared wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 9:16 amBloobs,

Re: TSP Forecast Apr
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.bloobs wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 9:30 am12^2 - 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.12squared wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 9:16 amBloobs,

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?

Re: TSP Forecast Apr
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 first12squared wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 10:26 amYou could plot the standard deviation, but it would be tough to compare because the base prices are on different scales.

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.
Re: TSP Forecast Apr
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%
Other Charts....

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