Question on Proxy Trading

I have found that mutual funds and indices are better suited in generating signals than the corresponding ETFs. I want to generate signals using mutual funds but trade an ETF.

For example, I want to see if VUSTX or VFINX has the better return over the last 3 months, and if the best return is positive, I want to buy TLT or SPY (depending on the winner). If the return is is not positive, I want to buy SHY.

How can I do that?

Thank you again for all your help. I hope my questions and your answers provide a good reference for future users.

Best Answer

Unfortunately, this is not something that can be done easily. You need to implement the whole strategy in C# (money management script) to handle that.

Thank you for your reply.

Can you provide a simple example as a "How-To" or a Blog Post so that we can use it as a go by?
