Thread: Does The AutoTracker Reflect Your Real TSP Account Moves?

Read my signature.

I try to keep them the same. But my last move in the real world was made early, and I got hung up in a meeting and I couldn't get the AT request in on time.

It does if you log into 2 totally different accounts and make the same identical moves in both. making moves in TSP Talk does not activate a move in your actual TSP account and making moves in your actual TSP account will not reflect in TSP Talk until you make an identical move there.

Mine does...

Huge moves in and out of sectors for fun and games is one thing, but playing with real retirement fund money is another.

I try to keep the AT in concert with my actual TSP moves. However, sometimes life gets in the way of me being able to enter the AT moves.

Mine does, never missed one!

ILoveTDs reflects my true TSP moves and ILTDTechnical reflects my timing system which I some times deviate from in ILoveTDs.

mine absolutely does, otherwise what would be the point?

Good question, but some people might do it just to win the prize!

If thats the case then there are about 900 folks that should give up till 2015.

Me being one of them

Exactly might point in starting this thread. When I see big bets put down in C/S/I, I wonder if that's real money in real TSP accounts or just TSPTalk money. Because if I was trying to win the monthly or yearly prize, I would swing for the fences every month. When it's my real money, I just can't do that.

Yes and no. My moves are my real moves. Since I move money around so infrequently the percentages get off. In the tracker I am 40G/60C since 3/31/14. In reality I am 37G/63C due to the increase in the C fund value and payroll allocations.

I have asked for opinions about adjusting this once in a while with about a 50/50 split in yes/no. Either way I am going to win no prizes.
