Hi Allen.
The reason I am looking at this is trying to see if it is possible to create settings that work with shorter range positions. Many ETFs have a relatively narrow 52 week range so AIM, in its standard form, never gets a buy or sell in any reasonable time if you don't buy at the top or bottom of the 52 week cycle.
Agreed.
I run my Silver ETF (SLV) with total range of ~10% for the same reason. Even so, in the last year, I've had just 1 Buy (last July) and 1 Sell (last month). However, the previous 2 years I had 24 trades (17 Buys, 7 Sells).
I believe this was due more to the long slow slide in Silver price more than my settings which really haven't changed.
Of course with that kind of transaction pattern, I've loaded up on shares; with more than 5x the # of Actual shares than my initial position.
Bottom line is that I believe one's settings do need to fit the holding as much as is possible. Maybe you should do a Zig Zag analysis on your holding to try and zero in on your range.
I moved one stock, GNL, into AIM wanting to reduce the size of the position and played with the buy safe because I did not want to get any more.
I'd just set up a LD-AIM program with 10 Sells and 0 Buys. Then just don't Buy any more regardless of the price action.
Best Regards, Steve (The Grabber)
