How our Strategy Works

At Turner Capital, we believe 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.

At Any Point

BULL — invested in a bullish trend

BEAR — positioned in inverse ETFs to benefit from market declines

OUT — in cash-like money markets

What Guides these Descisions?

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

This is a widely followed medium-term trend line. It smooths out shorter fluctuations and helps identify more stable trends. When the market is in a sustained trend, the 50-week MA often aligns with long-term investor sentiment and can serve as a reference point for institutional rebalancing.

86-week moving average

This is a less common but insightful intermediate-to-long-term indicator. It’s slow-moving and filters out most noise, helping to define the broader market structure over multi-year cycles. It’s particularly useful for identifying trend reversals that may not yet be obvious on shorter-term charts.

200-week moving average

This is a long-term trend baseline, often viewed as a “line in the sand” for secular bull or bear markets. It rarely changes direction and only reacts to large, sustained market moves. Breaches of the 200-week MA are typically seen as significant events and can 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.
