  Jimmyjazz is right.  The "purist" filter uses the close value on 2/28 and compares it with the close on 5/30.  SPY was the top performer while EFA was a close second.   I personally use a smoothed version (taking the ma(3) looking back 63 days) and with that smoothing EFA was on top.
 
 Since then both have done modestly well, each up about 0.7% since the start of this month.  I personally stayed in EFA since it was last month's selection as well - I'm lazy I guess.

  Greetings all!!  I am new to SF and have been reading forum posts for the last few days trying to catch up.  
 
 Kevin, great thread and love your work!
 
 I have read most of this thread and took a few notes.  I have a couple of questions to help me get up to date with the latest filters from this thread and usage models.  
 I have a 401k that I can buy any ETF or mutual fun in and I have been working on a system based on a book I read called the Ivy portfolio which is similar to Kevin's 401k system here.  Im looking for a profitable system to manage my 401k with.
 
 1.  What is the latest filter to use for 401k, TAA, and ROC?  
 2. I have see you post about your web site but I cant find a link to it.  Maybe I skimmed over it.  Can you please post it?
 
 Thanks!
 
 Jeff

  The latest filter uses a 3-month look-back period, or approximately 63 trading days.  The code is as follows:

  Thanks for the link to Kevins site.  Great job Kevin!
 So, this filter would be traded at the end of the month and pick the highest alpha?
 
 How do I backtest the ROC, TSI and the latest filter posted above?
 
 Thanks
 Jeff

  Hi Kevin!  Great work here!  Thank you for sharing! 
 Did you backtest the TAA/TSI and ROC filters on StrataSearch?
 If so, could you post the code here so we can backtest them too?
 
 Thanks
