Hi Allen, If you set a percentage above the 52 week low to buy you may never reach that if the ETF is on a rise.

What I do is look a the chart with Williams% and Bollinger bands. I try to make my buy when the Williams% is around -80 and the ETF value is close to the lower Bollinger band. This marks a spot when there is a pullback.

Also when I'm starting an AIM program I divide the initial buy into 3-4 smaller buys spread out over time. That also helps to decrease my timing error.

I've also had a situation where I was hoping to make 4 buys but after 3 buys the stock takes off. In that case just make a couple of Vealies, and this has a similar effect to buying and increasing the position in dollar value.
