Fund Switching Techniques
An SI Board Since May 1997

Introduction Compact
There appears to be three threads here which deal in some manner with mutual fund switching. One relates to FastTrack, one to the Fidelity Selects, and one related to AIM/Newport software. Perhaps each thread has elements of what this thread intends.

Specifically, I'm very interested in the generalized topic of fund switching, without regard to software or fund families. Certainly, discussion based on an individuals specific experiences is welcome. I suspect each of the other threads have something to contribute to such a discussion. I am suggesting this thread as a central repository for such a discussion.

I have recently built a simple Excel-based switching system, inspired by fiddling with a copy of FastTrack I have on the Pentium board in my Mac. The FastTrack program doesn't seem to do all its card tricks so I decided to model it in Excel.

I'm wondering if others are interested in switching techniques. Which approaches to entry and exit computation are best? Which types of market timing overlays are appropriate? What kinds of results are being realized in both paper and live trading? Which brokers/fund families are the best hosts for switching?
