Sorry jimmyjazz - but that is not the way the filter is to be used.
The review is the last day of the month not the first day of the next month
so I am still not sure where Kevin got EFA for June because neither the
yahoo link or the most up to date version of the look back filter had EFA as
the top pick - it was SPY in both cases.

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
