I'm having trouble figuring out what you think you need to turn around

Myself. I just need a Chance to change my thinking and especially my emotions. I tend to get caught up with emotion and don't change quickly enough to properly suit the situation. But I think I can.

Working to get better skills and looking at market strategy to see what I need to change around. I guess I can only try my best and recognize when situations change more than I thought. The best thing is to try to keep up, accept change completely...and work more diligently to address those changes....within myself...within my own thinking.

Improve technical analysis skills. Build and improve. Stop executing on emotion. Accept and execute on indicators "as they are" and not so much on my emotion. I guess a clearer, well-defined entry and exit strategy would help.

DBA, you already have excellent analysis and understanding on how things effect the market. The limits on how many times we can trade in and out of the market causes us to over think our execution because if you get out of the market and don't have another IFT then we might miss out getting back in for a bigger move. I have been able to outperform my TSP account, with my brokerage account (almost twice as much) by being able to not have these restrictions. I will be retiring in a few months and have already started setting up other accounts to move my TSP in to. You might open a brokerage account and see if your performance improves. I'll bet you will be surprised at how much better you will do. Good luck!

Thanks for the information Rspring. I have been thinking I need to explore Brokerage accounts. Really have not delved into the intricacies of withdrawing money, options of moving money outside TSP, TSP Roth, etc. It's all pretty much Greek to me at this point. I am eligible to retire in June but will keep working at least 3 more years. So I have a little time, but I really need to get into it. Hoping TSP gives more withdrawal options before I retire.

Yep those limited IFTs and that darn LONG lag time after we place our orders and the close can be killers to our profits. That window is way to huge! So much can happen during those few hours. I hold my breath every time I exit. For that reason I like making sure my 2nd IFT of the month is an entry so I have unlimited exits to G fund in increments spread out over a couple days....just in case something unexpected happens that drops the market.

Just reposting charts - Changed a few settings.

These have two Stochastics:14,3 and 7,3 settings. I am liking the 14, 3 for entries and ecots, but when MACD is below signal line, sometimes it seems the 7,3 marks a top better. The MACD and PMO are virtually the same too! But I am still studying to decide which I like best. PMO is smoother.

So I decided to enter. So everyone can start exiting now!

I am in 35S-25C-20I-10F. Last week F and I fund looked best, but now S and C fund are also looking better with a few positive days and most importantly Stochastic touched 20 and now moving up so I am heavier into S and C fund. The only thing that bothers me is that MACD is still below its signal line though moving upward on both charts. If it can clear its signal line in the next day or two, that would indicate a strong move upwards.

The I fund still looks good on daily chart with momentum still up on Stochastic and MACD/PMO but obviously overbought. Still... it looks good and price is within its 10day EMA channel. But the weekly chart shows Stochastic starting to touch signal line so it may drop a bit in short term, but MACD/PMO still upward on that weekly chart.

F fund looked better last week but it also is high and in its 10 day EMA channel on weekly chart. It still looks good as Weekly Stochastic is crossing above its signal line and MACD and PMO still are moving upward. On the daily chart, Stochastic starting to drop below its signal line but MACD/PMO still up.

Best Wishes to Everyone on your investments!!!!!!

P.S. CBO releases numbers on the Healthcare bill tomorrow, so that will have impact on markets tomorrow.... or ... hum... we will see......

Decided its best to exit F and I fund. So still 35S and 35C. They are looking good.

Best wishes to everyone on your investments!!!!!!!!!

Reducing exposure. Going 80G-10S-10C.

I took the exit to 85G & 15F today. I always like to exit on a strong positive day. I will have 1 IFT left for hopefully a better entry later in the month. However; it looks like money is being put to work here so who knows if we will get a chance to time a re-entry with our end of day transaction. I wish we had immediate transactions and more IFT's. Best of luck.
