AIM has a no-activity zone that depends on the SAFE values
and the minimum trade size. This zone is usually quoted as
being 30%. (2x 10% SAFE and 2x 5% minimum trade size).

Up till now, I have set the SAFE values and the minimum trade
sizes, and thus also set the no-activity zone. However it seems
to me that we could also do this the other way around.
I.e. look at the stock, try to estimate the usual swing for that
stock and "set" the size of the no-activity zone. Then subtract
the minimum order size and thus obtain the total value for
the Buy and Sell SAFE zone. Depending on the global market
or the expectations (growth) of the stock, we could then set
the individual SAFE values. I.e. if a strong growth is expected
the sell SAFE would be slightly larger than the buy SAFE. And
vice-versa.

Any thoughts?
How do you set the buy and sell SAFE values?

Best,
