Automated Tracker Rules

[EW_ret]

These are the rules for Automated Tracker

1. You must have a history of participating on the message board, and a minimum of 10 posts before you can have a user profile in the Automated Tracker. We will waive this requirement in certain situations such as at the beginning of a new year or if another reputable member vouches for you before you reach the minimum post requirement.

Contact Tom (tsptalk) by Private Message (PM) to create your user profile once you have met this requirement. Please include your email address so we can send you the password.

Be aware that TSPTalk member/user names having spaces will have the spaces replaced with the underscore character for their User ID in the Automated Tracer (e.g. Mr Rogers becomes Mr_Rogers). This change to User ID does not affect your TSPTalk member/user name.

2. When your user profile is created, you must create an "Account Talk" thread in our “Members Account Talk” forum. Please discuss your strategy, and reasons for your transactions in your “Account Talk” thread.

3. Interfund Transfer / transactions must post in the Automated Tracker before 12:10 pm ET for entry at the Close Of Business (COB) that same trade day. Any fund transaction posted at or after 12:10 pm ET will be effective at COB on the following trade day.

4. A one line comment is allowed in your fund transfer post. Space is provided in the comment field.

5. You may cancel or change your fund allocations up until the 12:10 pm ET deadline. This is accomplished by making another fund transfer and entering new allocations, or selecting the "Cancel Pending IFT" link.

6. You may use the Automated Tracker if you are following any of the premium services. If you pay for a service we will obscure/hide you recent IFTs and returns from public view. We will continue to track your TSP return performance and others can see your Return To Date (YTD).

7. You must successfully log into your AutoTracker account and have posted on the message board within the last 90 days to be eligible for the monthly and annual prizes.

This free service is for active TSP Talk message board members. If you do not make any interfund transfers for 90 days, simply login every couple months so we know you are still participating on the board. If you fail to log into your Autotracker account and post on the board for more than 90-days, you will not be eligible for any monthly or annual prizes awarded.

8. You can make 2 IFT's per month. After that, only IFT's that increase the G fund allocation, without increasing any other fund's allocation, will be allowed. Also, after making 2 transfers in a month, additional transfers of less than 1% are allowed (since the TSP allows them).

A transfer made on the last day of the month before the 12 noon ET deadline, will count toward the prior month's transfer. Any transfer made after the 12 noon ET deadline on the last day of the month counts toward the next month's transfers.

9. Please refrain from bashing in another member's "Account Talk". A good healthy disagreement is fine. Please rest assured that bashing and/or squabbling will be deleted, and could potentially get you banned from the message board and Autotracker. This forum is about learning from each other to make money.


Thank you all for your cooperation

AutoTracker rule #7 has been updated to read:

"7. You must successfully log into your AutoTracker account at least every 90 days to be eligible for the monthly and annual prizes.

This free service is for active TSP Talk message board members. If you do not make any interfund transfers for 90 days, simply login every couple months so we know you are still participating on the board. If you fail to log into your Autotracker account for more than 90-days, you will not be eligible for any prizes awarded."

Rather than delist members, and relist them when they do show up again, we will continue to track the account, but they will not be eligible for any prizes. They will be taken off the tracker when the new trading year begins.

Thanks
