    Welcome to our community. Have fun while your here !
    My thoughts of future market events are strictly my gut feelings and have nothing
    to do with actual knowledge or experience concerning the Stock Market or Investing.

    I read the rules on the automatic tracker, but can you explain to me rule#6 concerning pay services. What pay services are recommended? I usually trade by using www.bigcharts.com and using their indicators. I use fast, slow stochastic and MACD as my lower indicator with Bollinger bands as my upper indicator. I've also used moving averages as an indicator. I learned how to do most of this from a trader friend at the agency I work for. So far it has been working I believe. TSP sent me a rate of 15% last year as my yearly return. I definitely would be interested in using your automated tracker to track my progress. I'm currently 100% in the S fund as of July 17th with a price of 17.8871 a share. I believe yesterday it closed at 18.2949. I know today doesn't look promising but I should be still ahead of the game as long as I go back to the G fund before it hits 17.88

    Thanks in advance for any advice given.

    After re-reading the rules of the automated tracker about rule#6 I take it as I do not have to have a pay for fee service, but if I do us one I can still use the automated tracker. Is that correct. Thanks

    Most of us could tell "something wonderful" was lurking in the background.

    Now we finally understand and glad you made yourself known.


    Welcome I'm the crazy one

    There are some sites that make serious money for TSPers. I was in a Premium site that allowed me to make great moves from one fund to the other.

    TSPTalk sites can be referenced here:
    https://www.tsptalk.com/members/

    I was on the Ebb and it was keeping alot of people in the green.
    But they limited IFTs and it pretty much became a guessing game again.

    Anyway, IF you decide to get a pay site. I hope you have more investment engines it could be used for!!!

    Good Luck!
    But you don't understand my point of view...I suppose there's nothing I can do..Did you stand by me?

    I agree. Since TSP has decided to limit IFT's it has made things a little more difficult for me. I don't want to get on TSP’s bad side. However on a good note it has caused me to be a little more conservative in my trading decision which I believe has helped me this year.

    That's a sad commentary on the First Amendment in what's supposed to be a free country. Do we give up our free speech rights when we become federal employees? We have to fear reprisals for expressing our opinion on a private website?
