RE: Volatility as selection criteria/trigger within AIM.
There have been many discussions here regarding Volatility and it's use within the AIM process.
One of them took place at our first gathering in 2000 when Mark Hing was discussing how his software (in development at the time) would 'optimize' AIM results which did take volatility into account, but I do not recall the specifics of that.
I also recall during that session that I proposed that we might be able to establish what I termed as 'An Efficient Volatility Index' that could possibly be used to that end.
Further, I believe Tom mentioned Zig-Zag Analysis during that session as well.
I mentioned that another one, William's %R, could also be valuable.
Zig-Zag, William's %R, along with many other measures is part of the Technical Analysis side of investment metrics.
Fundamental Analysis is the other side of that.
Many investors/traders use Fundamental Analysis to select the issues in which they intend to invest.
Then they use Technical Analysis to time their entry and/or exit points.
To that end, here's a little light reading to help us understand volatility (or to help us fall asleep).
It's only 231 pages!
