Hi Liam

What you are thinking of with the delayed trades is not AIM HI but is probably a good idea with SVXY or XIV.

The way to do it is to combine Aim with a moving average crossover.

If you just used a MA or MA crossover to signal getting in and out of a security completely you could get wipp sawed. If you get out and it goes up more, what do you do? Combined with Aim, while you will delay and concentrate trades, you should never be completely in or out. If you sell delayed trades and it turns around and goes up more, you have more shares to sell, or hopefully more cash to buy.

The mechanics would be to trade only if there is an Aim signal but wait till there is a price reversal by using a MA crossover as a signal. You can use anything you want but I would suggest the 13 day MA crossing the 30 day MA. 5/20 might be twitchy while 50/200 will delay the buying and selling once the reversal happens giving up too much of the possible gains.

So with SVXY you might still own some but wont buy more till it drops to your Aim buy price and below and delay buying any till it turns up slightly using the 13/30 MA crossover to pick up the delayed Aim purchases. The opposite on the sell side. No sells till it pulls back to the crossover.
