I disagree with your assertion that Rob cherry-picked the timeframe. There was only one slide where Rob showed the concept of selling at the 50 MA. He had many other slides that showed the backtest results of the 50MA. There is no cherry picking involved when you backtest over 20 years.
As far as the mutual fund to use, Rob has no incentive to share that information with all of us. We are on our own to determine that or to hire him as an advisor. It's a fairly easy thing to figure out if you are willing to put in the effort. It very significant that he shared that information with us. I confirmed that ETFs JNK and HYG had a negative Sharp ratio, a very poor Information ratio, and an less than stellar upside capture ratio when i compared it to other mutual funds in the same HIgh Yield category.
Looks like you cherry picked the timeframe. What mutual fund can we use?

Market timing: a recipe for sub-market returns. The only people who consistently make money from this sort of stuff are those who sell it to others.
