Hi Husk, I see you've been amply served with suggestions already! Thanks everyone. I hope your trade is made as you desire.

Generally I use GTC orders on the Sell side and let them fill as often as they will. What size order you choose for your Good 'til Cancelled orders is your own choice.

Steve G. uses 5% of Portfolio Control for his minimum order size. There's a very subtle effect on the Buy side after multiple buys of expanding the size of the minimum trade with each successive buy. Not a bad plan.

When AIM's in the Sell Mode the PC is constant and therefore the size of the min. order stays constant.

I like "realized gains" much better than the type that evaporate. I also like lots of Purchasing Power on hand. (right now there's not much left at VIEW!) So, I consider the selling of equity to be a good thing.

I tend not to look back after selling something profitably. If the profits meet my business objectives, that's what counts.

On the buy side I'm a bit more conservative.

Best regards, Tom
