[No-Quarter]

I have not attempted a bear market strategy. I simply go to cash based on the $USHL5 chart I detailed earlier.

For the 12 stocks in your Bull market strategy, I would ditch the real estate fund, and the gold fund. For the reasons why, cick on 'Surfer Info' tab on home screen => 'Advanced Topics' => 'Custom Strategies' => 'How to build a 401k Strategy'. Of the 10 remaining funds, try switching to 'trade every day', then look at the 1 mo return, the 3 mo return, and the 6 mo return. Note the percentage returns for each. Then start lengthening your trade intervals to 'trade at weekend', 'trade at month end', and so on to see what interval provides you with the best percentage returns for 1, 3, and 6 mo. Pick the one that provides you with the best return. Re-evaluate weekly, or monthly, and don't be afraid to change your settings as the results change.

I currently have my 'Additional Strategy Information' page settings as follows;
Minimum hold time - Trade any day,
Charting options - 'Month', Less Spaghetti checked, Painted path checked
StormGuard Options - SG.AQR, and in the box '$CASH
White ref line - S&P 500
Strategy Tuning - Use Forward walk progressive tuning checked
More algorithm options - Stronger Filtering checked, Bias towards Short Trends checked

I change these settings around from time to time to see 'what if'. These are the settings that seem to produce the highest 1 mo, 3 mo, and 6 mo returns for my strategies at this time. I imagine these could change over time and market conditions.
