    Default one idea

    This is one idea that I have and its just a strategy to maximize stock buying to build up my TSP since I just started...I was thinking about monitoring ups and downs every day and change my allocations right before I get paid every two weeks to buy whatever funds (G,S,C,F, or I) show the most negative change within those two weeks. It will help build up TSP investments....just by maximizing buying power by using kinda of a moving average based on negatives. I am not taking any risks or market signs into consideration....so I am looking for feedback on what might deter me from doing this at least for a while to build up my TSP.

    It does sound good, but understand there is a big lag when making a change to you contribution allocation. It is not instant but it could work. I'm game.

    Interesting that I do that already... I keep mine set to G and evaluate if I should change it each month (military) for a better entry in either S or F... it has only been a viable option 2 times in the last year, but I do check.

    Excellent idea to put out there moeniogt!!
