Project: Google Code to Youtualfunds.com

I just finished part of my summer project. I now have a "private"  fund called TRPL at http://trpl.youtualfunds.com/.

The system driving the fund resides on my Google Docs account. It is written in JavaScript. It triggers once a day so it takes up negligible resources. It pulls historical data from Google Finance, runs the proper algos and comes out with the proper fund allocation. It updates my fund at youtualfunds.com and  emails me a confirmation of the new positions.Now I can go on vacation without worrying about my internet connection or possible power failure.

Youtualfunds.com is an online social investing site and a sister site to Collective2. It lets you trade a system online and possibly earn revenue by allowing subscribers to "buy" your fund at their broker. Even if no-one does, it's a great way to forward test a simple strategy. They do have a basic WebAPI entry interface. They do charge if you choose to  take your Fund "public" (meaning others can subscribe to it).

I do manage a second fund at the site called "DGCP". It is far too complicated to code in Javascript. So my next project is to automate Amibroker to trade DGCP automatically.

Strategies on The Cloud: TAA on Google Docs

Did you want to have a strategy on the cloud that monitors the market and updates you on new Buy/Sell signals (as well as number of shares, etc)  by email. Did you want to run it on best of breed "always ON" servers with free and accurate data? How much would that set you back?Well, Nada! Courtesy of Google.This post will guide you through coding a simple Tactical Asset Allocation on Google's Docs. You need: 1. A Google account. 2. Google Docs.The system is similar to Faber's TAA model using 5 Etfs.: SPY,TLT,VNQ,EEM,DBC We buy or sell at the beginning of the month ONLY. If Close > 200-moving Average then we buy the ETF. If Close < 200-moving Average then we sell the ETF. Pseudo Code: If TodayIsNewMonth AND CloseETF>MA(200) Then Buy If TodayIsNewMonth AND CloseETFScript Editor... This should open a new script Editor. Select "SpreadSheet" as your project.

Lets start coding. Google Docs scripting uses a version of JavaScript which seems fairly easy for non programmers.
