How We Make Decisions at Turner Capital

How our Strategy Works:

Technical Equity believes that market conditions should dictate our actions — not headlines, forecasts, or emotions. That’s why we follow a rules-based approach designed to adapt to what the market is actually doing. Why the market is doing what it is doing is irrelevant... What the market is doing is all that matters!

At Any Point

UP-TRENDING MARKET— invested in a bullish trend

DOWN-TRENDING MARKET— positioned in inverse ETFs to benefit from market declines

TRANSITION MARKET— in cash-like money markets

What Guides these Decisions?

We use a system that tracks the movement of the overall market — what we call our TotalMarket Index (TMI) — across four critical technical trendlines:

20-week moving average

This is a short- to intermediate-term trend indicator. It reacts quickly to price changes and closely follows current market momentum. When prices are trending, the 20-week MA often acts as dynamic support/resistance and is frequently used to identify short-term pullbacks or breakouts.

50-week moving average

The 50-week moving average is the primary point of demarcation from a market that is primarily bullish versus primarily bearish. While we can detect bear trends when the market is above the 50-WMA and bull trends when the market is below the 50-WMA, this moving average tends to set the investment bias as to being bullish or bearish.

86-week moving average

The 86-week moving average is a primary support/resistance level that often provides an early detection of when to exit in a more profitable condition of an open trade, but is a very strong indicator of strength of momentum when the market traverses this trendline.

200-week moving average

Rarely does the market fall through the 200 week moving average, but when it does a lot of money can be made. This is a long-term trend baseline, often viewed as a "line in the sand" for secular bull or bear markets. Breaches of the 200 week moving average are typically seen as significant and can often signal major market regime shifts.

We call these our Focus Trendlines, and how the TMI interacts with them — not just whether it crosses, but how it moves through them — helps us determine whether to be in the market, or whether to be out and defensive.

Strategy Highlights

It’s Not About the News

Our strategy is not based on interest rates, inflation, or economic reports. It’s mathematical. It’s repeatable. And it’s disciplined.

Just because we’re out of the market at any given moment doesn’t mean we’re waiting on a Fed announcement — it means the market hasn’t earned our capital... yet.

Why Precision Matters

Sometimes the market tests key levels — like the 86WMA — without committing to a clear direction. We know that if the market breaks decisively through that level, the odds favor a move to the 200WMA or below. But we also know that the 86WMA often acts as a launchpad for powerful rallies.

Risk Management You Can See

This is how Turner Capital manages capital: not based on narratives, but by letting the market speak through price, trend, and momentum — and listening with a disciplined,
rules-based system.
