HI Conrad,

Ray posted my first post which describes the way in which I use the aim method.
What my first post was trying to convey to aimers was that through observation, the accumulation of shares shoud not be made while the stock is in an aim downtrend move as suggested by the aim method; It is more profitable if aimers wait for what I termed an aim uptrend move.
An aim uptrend move is defined as an upward move in the stock that is strong enough to cause the market order column to read zero buys.
Initially I said stop the PC from rising. Same effect. The stock will have ceased its aim downtrend and started what I
coined an aim uptrend move. The point at which action in the stock should begin.

PROS:
Save on commission.
Will accumulate the shares at a similalr or lower price on recovery.
Will avoid a falling knife which will preserve your cash reserve.
Can be used for a lower initial entry price into a position. Aim advises any price can be an initial entry. Using this method for FTF entries will produce some great rewards.

CONS:
Can't think of a scenario where the regular aim method will outperform the aim uptrend accumlation method. Even if a stock goes to zero, It can only be a tie.
Even then, I don't believe that a stock that is really going to zero would have enough momentum to make enough aim uptrends moves to absorb the aim uptrend method cash reserve.

Note. The reason I don't discuss the sale side is because it is
not based 100 percent on the aim method. My sale method is a form
of profit capture plus the compound effect.
My initial entry price will really determine how I will handle the sale side.

My buy side is based 100 percent on the aim method.
