http://gtr1.net/2013/?f0.10000::gprc%281%29gt0:tr%...I haven't used ETFs, but for a laugh I tested a simple timing strategy trading monthly between two, representing ETFs that try to match 3x QQQ and 3X SPY, adding a market timing rule to stay out of the market someone here came up with a long time ago.
Trade monthly based which of the 2 has the best 120 day return but go to cash with timing rule.
