2mc, what stock did you have in mind, to test? I have done the one of the test you were talking of in a way. I used the data from the AIM $10,000 to $1,000,000 chart from the book, with Synchovest. I used a planed investment of 100, and then put $10,000 in cash and never gave it another dime. Did Synchrovest beat AIM yes and no. IF you used Mr lichello's Default settings then no. the reason is it never gets to 100% profit(sell point) before the stock decreases in price. However If you set the sell point lower,to 50% or so then you do get sells. I think the secret is That synchrovest sells off about 99% of it's stock at the sell point. Note if the stock keeps on going up you would feel pretty silly about it.
Concerning deep divers Both AIM and Synchrovest are normaly out of cash around 50 to 60% from the top. However there are ways to slow that down. one way that I like is to add a rule that no single buy will be greater than 50% of cash. normaly this rule will not come into play until you have a loss of 40%, so in normal times it will not be triggered.
Come see me at Systematic Investing group #board-966 lets talk formula plans.
