cool...awaiting your post i will also aim to post some data on this evening about how this would have made a lot more then buy and hold

as this is a long term plan yes i was planning to hold for many years - with this strategy i didnt think i would need to exit at all except near retirment as investors we know that if we are in this for the long run then we may go through such crashes - but in the end markets do rise and as you...

Hi - this thread which I originally started got expanded on the following thread - so the original ideas from above have been changed and updates are on : http://www.trade2win.com/boards/indices/205498-why-i-prefer-index-funds-2.html please have a look on here as i would value your feedback

Thanks for your response – yes I think there is a mixup along the way – let me explain what would happen in 2008 in detail. Firstly I am using IG MT4 feed for crossovers. FXPro closes from 10pm to 8am so movement within these hours is not recorded – hence this is not accurate – IG is 24hr feed...
