Hello Myst

Here's an idea I had for an X_DEV tweak, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet, so it may be bunk. Here's the concept: a mechanical "ratcheting" of the buy/sell multiple value based on consecutive buys or sells.

I've noticed that X_DEV tends to have consecutive buys and sells triggered once optimized, what if we took advantage of its nature and accelerated the multiple value so we buy more as the price declines and sell more as the price rises?

For example, let's assume the the buy and sell multiples are default at 1 when we start our X_DEV journey. We get our initial buy signal so we sink 66% of our total cash into this particular stock. Once a buy has been triggered, the buy multiple goes to 2. A price drop happens and we are advised to buy again, but this time more shares at a cheaper price. The buy multiple goes to 3 and waits for another buy signal. And so forth. Once the buy signal switches to sell, the multiple reverts to 1 and the process starts on the sell side all over again.

This idea appeals to my mechanical nature and adjusts itself without subjective tweaking. As I said I haven't tested this at all, so it may be a waste of time, but it makes sense to me logically. Let me know what you think. By the way, I think the program is great. Take care,
