To make a hyperlink::
< a href="http://www.google.com" > http://www.google.com < / a>
--- IMPORTANT:
1. Remove extra spaces between any of the less than and greater than signs, both sides of the characters.
2. Remove space between / and a
--- Note:
The HTML code you are writing for the link can be modified by Stockfetcher when editing a post. This means you will need to rewrite the HTML code, sometimes.
I look forward to your first hyperlink...

Kevin,
"5. Stop optimizing, cross your fingers and start trading." Thanks to your research, I am trading using a 5 ETF version which is either developed by you or based on a 4ETF version you developed and a 13 ETF version (the one I listed in a previous post). Both are doing quite well. When you found and reported on ETFREPLAY, you did a great service for anyone who trades on at least a 30 day time frrame.
The 13ETF version backtests 1700+% since 2003; 500+% since 2007 and 70+% this year. I still feel it is curve fit. It contains emerging markets plus GLD. I will look at adding one more non correlated ETF to the 5ETF version. It doesn't backtest nearly as well as the 13ETF version but it doesn't feel curve fit.
You started with the concept of a 401k strategy but this looks good as any system I have ever seen.
I manually calculated the effect of margin on the 5ETF version quarterly. The returns were spectacular and the drawdowns were unacceptable. I am considering using an amount of $ equal to the margin interest to buy covered calls with at least an 80 delta. My thinking is that margin interest is always an expense no matter how the trade turns out. At least I could define the max loss from leverage and manage the risk.

ricks_stocks,
Suggestion: Click "Start A New Thread". Make your own thread with a good topic. Suggestion, Place it under "General Discussion".
Our discussion about links isn't appropriate for this Thread.

jnafach,
The 13 ETF portfolio was set up on 40/30/30 which is
Return A 3 Months 40
Return B 20 days 30
Volatility 20 Days 30
This was backtested to 2003 with the update schedule set to monthly.

RE: ETFREPLAY Results
I noticed the results I got from my ETFREPLAY signals were different from the results ETFREPLAY shows.
I incorrectly assumed that I should wait until the close of the last trading day of the month, get my signal then enter at the open of the 1st trading day of the next month. ETFREPLAY assumes the next trade is entered at the close and closing price on the last day of the month.
This is a small point but being able to verify ETFREPLAY's numbers increases confidence in the system.

Here is a more recent version of the filter I am using, containing 8 relatively uncorrelated assets:
I am not including SPY this time, since historically whenever SPY is a buy one can make better returns investing in IWM.
I added TLT and UUP as these are either inversely correlated or uncorrelated to most equities. Added in MOO to make sure that commodities other than metals are included.
Current selection is still IWM. I'll post a backtest of this filter later (YTD performance). I will suggest that other go to ETFReplay.com, use the same ETFs, and see if there are settings that do better (I have not done this yet, but am always open for a gentlemen's challenge).
