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
