Good morning
Thus far this hasn't been the typical May matching the statistics. Going back to 1950, for all months of May, Day 5's 5-Day performance (last Tuesday) tied for #11 and this Monday's 5-Day Performance tied for #12. That makes for an impressive start to May.
For the IFT Cutoff, Tuesday provides the best exit while Wednesday provides the 2nd best entry and the same holds true for the Mon-Fri stats.

The majority of this data is based off the S&P 500's past prices, typically over the last 20 years. If this data does not come from the S&P 500, then I will state what index it is derived from, otherwise assume it is of the same source. While most of the data is computer generated, much of it is still done by hand and is therefore subject to the occasional human error. Past data does not guarantee future results! We are all grownups here so we should already know we are each individually responsible for our own accounts, so if it doesn't work out, it's your own fault. Occasional I get PMs from newer members, asking me what to do with their accounts, so here's my answer. Find out what DCA is then do it for a long time. In the meantime read, read, read, then practice what you read, then figure out where you screwed up, then start the process all over again.
