I have checked out Synchrovest and I see many similarities between it and Free Shares. One glaring difference is buying above average cost in SV and also selling all shares. But, it is after all a variation of DCA so it holds true to form. Maybe one could set a limit if the price were to exceed Ave Cost by X% then no buying would take place. Buying when the stock price goes way up seems to be ineffective. Of course the multiplier does limit buys very well. I really like Syncrovest and Mr L, as you said, didn't know the full potential of what he had. I wonder if one could marry the best of Syncrovest and Free Shares and come up with a really great thing!
I can see where your SS could be used and I will look into it.
