[Fidelity Select Funds and TA]
Ref: 1. Wall Street Irregular by Mark Hulbert in Forbes, June 3, 1996 2. Gil Blake in The New Market Wizards, by Jack Schwager, pp.230-250
Many of us have money in 401, 403 accounts. We are into mutual funds by lack of choice. I am looking at methods to improve the return of mutual funds.
In the June 3, 1996 Forbes, a column by Mark Hulbert in Forbes [Ref 1] stated that momementum strategies have the potential of being more sucessful with mutual funds than with individual stocks. Hulbert also mentioned the interview with Gil Blake by Jack Schwager [Ref 2]. It appeared that there is some correlation between sector funds and Chaos (math).
If we ASSUME that there IS a correlation between sector funds and Chaos, HOW do we make useful info out of this?
I am NOT able to solve the problem. As a FIRST step, I like to find the entry point of a more volatile sector fund using TA.
In TC2000 (I know you don't use TC2000 now, but you are familiar with TC2000) we can do a scan
((MaxC250-MinC250)/MinC250) > 0.3
Then back to TC2000, in a Fx key, say F2, we put two MA curves, say 13 and 55 in the top window, and Stochastic 34, 13 with MA 5 in the bottom window.
Now ae use F2 key on the more volatile sector fund group. Look for Stoc cross over and use the top window for confirmation. I hope this will help to find entry point of sector funds.
The problem is more than I can handle. I need help from TA gurus. I'll appreciate your suggestions. Thanks.
