VORTEX AIMing

[Conrad]

The Vortex Forex Excel software. . .FORTEX maybe????. . .is still being developed to better match the needs of the FX trading. Right now some corrections are made to more correctly represent the Reserve so that it is clear how much money is available for buying extra currency when the exchange rate drops. Also the Vortex Virtual Reserve. . the actual leveraged amount that currency is bought (or reserved) for is a redundant column. . the FX trader does not have to concern himself with that. . .he simply wants to know how much currency his actual reserve can buy: that is X*Reserve minus account costs and minus trading costs, if applicable.

Also at this time I use a mid point Exchange Rate rather than separate buy & sell rates. Also I need yet to incorporate the lock-in of profits mechanism. If a currency rate rises that at a certain "pip value" the profit is locked-in (ClickPoint) but the currency on account is not sold. I want to include the ClicPoint in the software. At this time the Vortex Sell-Advice is simply ignored and the profit keeps rising with the rising rate. When the investor finally liquidates his position a Sell is activated in Vortex on account of the information from the real FX Account.

This means that after the currency drops in value through the ClickPoint I need to somehow program this into the software. I suppose I can do this by simply carrying out a Full Sell. . but I do not yet know if FX Brokers actually liquidate the position at that point. . .I would argue that I should not liquidate the position but let the account run its course. . .Vortex can not create a loss IF the FX Broker locks in the profit at the ClickPoint. So, letting Vortex run with dropping value allows for extra buying at new lows, even one could use the TurboVest Method to buy extra currency if the price dives deeper. This then creates the opportunity to invest the locked in profit at a new low in currency value and one can activate Vortex "on the run" without having to start up a new AIM-Machine.

Does anyone have any comments on this, from the point of view of actually needing an AIM-Machine running parallel with a real FX account. . in other words, would anybody be daring enough to use a FX account for a "contrary investing" method like AIM and specially the TurboVest Method?

I would say this is quite OK if the leverage is not very large and/or if one already has a good profit locked in, then the TurboVest method well be ideal to buy on a dropping currency rate. . .the rate will of course come back again in cycles!

At the moment I am experimenting with

1 EUR/USD Turbo Short AAB 1,448 for riding the Dollar Diving
2 USD direct currency trading using TurboVest via a USD Account at my bank.

Also I have bought the following:

3. 100 x Fidelity Latin American Equity Fund at € 16,52. . .it is in a rising trend.
4. 2000x A Japan Mutual Fund at € 0,96. . great for trading as a Penny Stock. . is also in a bit of a rising trend but the low price makes it ideal for pseudo high volatility trading

I will keep you informed on the developments on all fronts.

Please note: I have coined the term TurboVest Method many years ago as a means for investing with a good filled portfolio during dropping prices. . .for as far as an Vortex AIMer would not have sold all his equity at a top position. So, TurboVest kicks in only after the initially allocated Reserve is used up: buying extra equity with borrowed money.

A the time I started writing my book The Vortex Method I knew very little about the real financial derivative markets “out there”. The name I coined came from the very root of the meaning of the name “vortex”. . . a rapidly spinning fluid or gas that under certain conditions would "suck up" any fluid or gas and particles into the core of the vortex where a relatively low pressure region is exists. . .identical as happens in a hurricane and in industrial cyclones. . . and not to forget, in tornados. . .in which a "particle" could well be a house, or a 60 Ton locomotive!

The Vortex Methiod means that it "sucks" money from the pockets of the public (The stampeding Herd) when prices drop and dumps it into my bank account. . . like a hurricane sucks up water from the ocean and dumps it onto land when it hits a coastline, or like the locomotive that is "sucked up" from the rails by a tornado and dumped hundreds of feet away from the pick-up point.

As mechanical engineer I am quite familiar with turbo compressors and various turbo-machinery. . .I had an exhaust-driven turbo-compressor for fuel/air mixture boosting on my 1962 Corvair that I used to have between 1968 and 1975. That thing was a lovely small monster. I cried when it died in 1975! I saved the turbo compressor for many years but it got lost at some point

Rapidly spinning turbo-gas made me think of the name TurboVest Investment Method. . .for my Vortex AIM-investing with equity credit, for buying diving stocks and currencies: it is an accelerated way of making money with the Vortex Method.

Can you imagine my surprise and pride when later I read that the banks had created derivatives with the name Turbo? The creation of that name may well have preceded the birth of the TurboVest Method but still, that does noting to make me less proud of that name.

So, that was a bit of Vortex-AIMing & Turbo-AIMing history and some waxing sentiment on account of it all.

It's time to get myself some coffee now.
