Growth Trend Timing exits stocks when the S&P500 is below the 10 month (43 week) SMA, but *only* if neither of the two FRED indicators is down YOY. If both are up YOY then you are to ignore the SMA sell signal.

The S&P500 has been above the 43 week SMA for quite some time now, for 28 weeks. But the FRED signal has been to obey an SMA sell signal.

Two days ago FRED did the monthly update, and now both are up YOY, so any SMA sell signal should be ignored.
