Trend 200 S&P 500 fund, held

03 January 2017 to 14 August 2026. Prices: Yahoo Finance daily closes.

The rule

Four indexes split the account in equal parts. A part is invested while its index closes above the average of its last two hundred trading days, and sits in cash while it closes below. The check happens once a month, which keeps the trading cost low and makes the exit late by design.
