Hi Karel -

Thx for clarifying conrad's explanation a bit. I think i'm a decently intelligent guy, but conrad's posts remind me of the binars in star trek, talking to each other in 1's and 0's.

You said that vortex aim does the following:

Buy = (PC - SV) * Buy Factor
New PC = New SV (fixed at the price of the last trade)

I'm not sure that's the case. For example, you start with 10000, with 5000 invested. PC = 5000. Stock value drops by 2000, so Buy = (5000-3000) = 2000. You buy 2000, and New PC = 5000. But your total investment is 7000. Thus, if 5000 < SV < 7000 triggers a sell, you might sell shares at a loss (assuming FIFO sells). It seems lichello AIM sells any share for a profit regardless if it's FIFO or LIFO sales.

Does this make any sense? Maybe vortex aim envisions only LIFO sales, or maybe PC should reflect average cost, such as with matt's (2MC) system?

Best Regards,

John
