I believe that in a single day it more than lost all its advantage since the uptrend began. I'm not convinced it has any advantage, it is just more volatile and during volatile periods it tends to underperform. That said, you might find it costs you a little in the weaker trends, but pays off handsomely in the rarer, longer trend.

My university pension limits the number of trades I can do. I am a chicken with my trading IRA and go to cash more quickly there than I do with my university pension mutual funds.

Are you using this analysis in any way to change the way you trade in your IRA?
