    Only one move for IFT is counted.
    Example on 10/7/2008 if you move from 100% G to 40%G, 30%C, and 30%S...that is considered one IFT move.

    It would not see that CO. The autotracker is measuring our timing skills vs. other members', not actually tracking our accounts.

    Thumbs up Re: Attention: Transfer Limits in the Auto Tracker

    " I could have as many as
    31 IFT's in one month and still be within the rules. "

    Appreciate the great info! Just a minor correction : You can only make IFTs on the days that the TSP is "open" ( Monday thru Friday except Holidays).

    You couldn't be more correct. Further, you have to wait until the 1st
    market day of the next month, that brings the 31 IFT number down
    even more. I stand corrected and WELCOME to the MB.

    Hello SB,
    Thank you for the reply. I enjoy reading your posts. I have been lurking on the boards for about two years. I'm amassing my 10 posts required to join the tracker.

    Hello SB,
    You may have covered this, but here goes: Do IFTs less than 1% count towards the two IFT per month limit into F,C,S,I (if I made no moves yet this month, can I make say four <1% moves, then still make the two >1% moves?
    Thank you,

    IFTs <1% WILL count towards your 2 IFTs/month in your actual TSP account.

    First, please accept my apology for not seeing your question. In December
    I injured my Back and couldn't sit in front of a computer. FT gave you the
    answer you seeked below. Since you only have two moves (unrestricted)
    per month, the tiny percentage moves count towards the limit as well. I
    use the <1%IFT allocations to stay in the game in a attempt to beat the
    (G) Fund,,,,,,in leiu of,,,,,,,sitting in the (G) until the following month.
