This strategy would be seen as pitifully lazy to the active day trader, however, to the beginning trader, or the person who is otherwise occupied with life events, this is a strategy that is easy to duplicate.
All you do is wait for the end of April or the beginning of May. This can be done easily enough. Then open up a chart, and find the MACD indicator. Wait until you see a crossover on the MACD to the downside from the Daily timeframe. This indicates markets may be correcting, and it's time to take your money and leave.
Fast forward, it's now late October. You are thinking of your Halloween outfit, and how it's going to reflect your exceptional(ly dull) personality. Something dings in your mind and you remember the 6 month switching strategy. You go to your computer and log in to whatever you do with your money. You open up the daily charts, and check it periodically until you see a crossover to the upside on the MACD signaling everyone and their fat uncle is putting money into the markets, and that you should too.

I apologize for the colorful characters in this particular narration. This gets boring, and I dislike giving people financial advice. Every time you answer one question, they will have 70 more. People really mistake being nice for being stupid. It's pretty f***** annoying.
Anyway just a friendly reminder that the s&P looks like a branch that's growing onto your neighbors property. It's gonna get trimmed. With love. :)
