Is the "Faber approach" to use the last day of December or the first day of January (for this new calculation)?
i.e, do we calculate each ETF price ratio using 3/31/14 and 12/31/13 or 3/31/14 and 1/1/14?
Seems like it might make a difference at times.

Yep, the chart Kevin linked switched from AGG to SPY overnight. That "day one" selection can make a difference.
I don't know which ETF is "right" going forward, but personally, I'd rather take a flyer on SPY than AGG.

Agreed, although the pure backtested system would have you in AGG. Given that April is historically the best month for stocks (or at least in the top 2), you are probably smart in holding in equities versus bonds.
My personal choice is the go risk on for another month, based on the recent sell off (especially in small and mid cap stocks) that should recover this month.

symlist(spy,iwm,efa,agg,gld,rwr)
sort on column 5 descending
set{diff2,close minus close 68 days ago}
set{diff2%,diff2 / close 68 days ago}
set{ratio90,diff2% * 100}
add column ratio90
,
Kevin, this filter adds a couple of indexes,
It shows AGG on the bottom over the last 68 days...
Why is it perhaps the best choice??
Is this filter faulty? , using the 68 day sort? (ratio 90)
Thanks!!

Using this Filter... would RWR be the one to use this month?
Thanks!

Can this filter be used to pick stocks from index best performing or at least having a positive sharpe.
What I want is adding this filter to my stock selection filter and on a daily basis select stocks from index which is best or with positive sharpe.
However, not able to include this code to my own filter. Can someone comment and help in coding this one.
Thanks

Below is Kevin's Sharpe-Ration Allocation filter. I tried building a 10 ETF version and haven't had any luck getting right. I was able to figure out setting up the current rankings correctly but the the % Allocation. I would appreciate some help!!! Thanks!
