20 Years of Data, Thousands of Simulations

  • A line graph from 2006 to 2024 showing fluctuating data with peaks and labels marked as Eu, Br, and As at specific points.

    Market risk signals

    We track a small set of indicators to help answer one question: risk-on or risk-off?

    • Volatility and market “stress” measures
    • Trend + momentum context
    • Designed to be usable inside TSP constraints

    Remember: This is educational research and not financial advice.

  • Workspace with computer screen displaying code, notebook with handwritten notes, glasses, and pen on a desk.

    Rules tested with Python

    We use Python to test simple allocation rules across historical periods and market regimes.

    • Tests use daily historical data (2005–present)
    • Compares outcomes vs individual TSP funds
    • Built around TSP’s IFT limits

Why TSP Guru Stands Out

Traditional TSP approach
• Great for long-term investors who prefer a hands-off plan
• Typically stays fully invested through all market conditions
• Can feel uncertain during volatility

TSP Guru approach
• Uses a simple, rules-based framework tested on historical data
• Designed around TSP constraints (including IFT limits)
• Helps you decide when to be more aggressive vs more defensive

The goal isn’t prediction. It’s having a repeatable process for risk awareness.
