Trading strategy for VTI or VTSAX using technical indicators

[lozenge]

Hi folks.  I'm curious if anyone is using or has tried a trading strategy for VTI or VTSAX using technical indicators; to beat buy-and-hold and/or to lessen drawdowns.  E.g. buy/sell when the price crosses above/below the 20/50/200 day moving average, buy/sell when the MACD signal crosses above/below the MACD line, buy when overbought and sell when oversold using a stochastic oscillator, etc.  Thanks -Mike

My opinion is that trading VTI using technical analysis is about as useful as trading VTI by reading chicken entrails.

VTSAX is a mutual fund with a 30 day trading restriction. OP's credibility is diminished by the trading suggestion.

If you meant to be a explain that VTI is a the ETF version of VTSAX, then sort of ignore the above.
