 Sold all of my WIZ.  I wanted to lock in the  4% + gains for the week.  Sold at $29.96 yesterday afternoon.

 @davesaint86
 
 Do users get Portfolio Visualizer model test results by trial and error
 or are there some apps to mechanically suggest tickers and settings?
 
 Thank you.

 Trial and Error!  It used to be free.  Bought a year subscription because I can also back test mutual funds that are in our 401ks.  When I paid for the subscription, my old filters were unlocked.

 Some of my ideas when using TMF as hedge come from this guy.

 @davesaint86
 
 Momentum - Relative Strength model holding only the best performing asset
 seems to be the simplest for smaller equity porfolio, and it has less painful worst year
 
 Thanks, dave

 Attended the Merlyn AI Webinar Last Night
 
 They have rolled out SwanGuard to SectorSurfer
 SwanGuard for the Merlyn AI Products WIZ and SNUG should be available by the end of the month
 SwanGuard - it seems that the trigger utilizes sudden spikes of the VIX > 25, which triggers the move into treasuries
 
 Merlyn AI is working on some future ETF offerings
 - Sector ETF comprised of the strongest Sectors (up to 6 ETFs) - they are thinking about calling it the Sector Surfer Momentum fund with a symbol of DUDE
 
 - Creating  a ETF that picks ETFs with a AUM of at least $10 Billion
