Hi Allen, Re: Calculating the Next Buy/Sell prices at Minimum settings.....

You can change the Minimum Shares (MSO) to be Minimum Dollars and reconfigure the formulas so that it kicks out the trade prices for the smallest dollar amount that is acceptable.

Share count for trades were important back in my early days of AIMing. Back then trading 100 share lots was where the commissions were better. Later, when the discounters got busy, the commission was a fixed number no matter how many shares were traded. Then minimum dollars became more significant. We always wanted to make sure the commission as a percentage of trade value was appropriately small.

Best regards,
