Hi Tom

0 Safe and Sell/Buy settings of 9.09 & 11.11

These are from Don Carlson's 'Magic Formula'!

I searched the board for the context of the conversation around these, but didn't find it. Maybe it was on the old board.

These 2 above effect a 10% Price Move either side.
Divide each by 2 for Split Safe/Minimum approaches.

I dug out my old spreadsheet for the actual formulas.
I think reciprocals are involved.

(The PM% defines Price Movement)

Buy Side
=(1/(1-PM%))-1
Sell Side
=1-(1/(1+PM%))

Best Regards, Steve (The Grabber)
