Hi Steve

My mistake was not incorporating a Stop Loss aspect to my process. Had I done that, I think I could have cut my decline by half or more.

I'm religiously applying stops now for that reason. Only thing is whilst everyone else seems to have roared upwards over the last month I'm down at a lowly 3% gain, primarily as a consequence of that stop process (has been market neutral awaiting the 200dma cross-over).

Did you ever bottom out how you'd implement your stops?

Mine is just to identify a current indicated stock exposure amount using the 5% stop-loss/12 month time-stop process I've previously described. That provides a vWave like indicator as to the current amount of stock exposure to carry, which I align actuals to by adding in an additional Index long or short (so that the collective AIM stock values + that adjuster = the indicated exposure amount).

Best.
Clive.
