The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This screen is long when bcc is > 0 ?

BCC is Bear Catchers Combined. A timing signal using days from a new high, ratio of new high to new lows and the slope of a moving average. GTR1 for Dummies has extensive discussion on how to get BCC.

200 day return, own the stronger of the SPY and 2xQQQ (QLD)?
How often does it switch or analyze the 200 day MA to determine which to own?
The link provided was checking every 21 days. The results average every start day for 21 days. You can change the frequency from 1 day to 253 days.

Note the combination of two different tickers can mask what is really happening. SPY starts in 1993. TQQQ starts in 2010. So for the first 17 years, the model is only picking SPY. You can control this by specifying the start date which is in the lower part of the form.
