Pick your poison

Some time back I outlined a Ben Graham type AIM approach where you apply both buy and sell vealies. That steers the AIM to maintaining 50% overall average cash reserves, but historically deviated between 35% and 65% cash.

Double scale that and you end up with 100% average stock exposure, but that at times might decline to 70% and at other times rise to 134% (i.e. perhaps 34% in 2x ETF, 66% in 1x).

Buy and Sell Vealie both 50%

Sell Vealie = increase Portfolo Control by half the indicated AIM sell trade size amount when cash reserves are already in excess of 50% of the total portfolio value (not actually selling any shares).
Buy Vealie = reduce Portfolio Control by half the indicated AIM buy trade size amount when cash reserves are already less than 50% of the total portfolio value (not actually buying any shares).
