Alton hit the nail the nail on its head.
It appears you're using PC as an indicator to trade stocks on a shorter term rather than longer term holding of an equity. In this regard, PC doesn't seem to provide much more of an advantage than other indicators used for trading. This, I believe, is the debate Conrad is making!
I am actually saying more than that:
1) An AIM PC that stops rising does not provide any more information than the a stock price that stops falling;
2) A PC that stops rising does not give any direct information as to how far the price has approached zero. By looking at that price as a primary indicator you see much more, especially in regards to the fact that the if stock has become worthless the PC does not show that . .the value of the risen PC does not tell you that. . . .obviously when the price keeps dropping you see directly that the stock may not longer be worth buying at some point, but the rising PC does not tell you that either. . .so, in order to judge if you want to buy the stock or not you need to look at the price(among other things) even before you plug it into the AIM machine and then you already know "what time" it is. Besides that the price can be fed into various other "machines that will tell you all sorts of things that the PC does not.
It is like when you are roughing it in the forest. . .the fact that its gets dark will tel you that the day is ready to turn into evening. .you do not need to feed the observation that it is getting dark into a "machine" to tell you that the evening is upon you.
That's how I consider "looking" at the AIM PC provides no information other than that it is rising as the price drops or that remains constant when the price no longer drops. Then after as the price reverses the PC tells you nothing but the rising price tells you you that it has recovered and that the stock may well become worth buying.
In regards to the Vortex AIM PC, for dropping prices the PC rises. For rising prices the PC drops(generally), and for constant prices the PC remains constant. So, the Vortex PC is more responsive to price changes than the AIM PC. Still, I would look only at the stock price to decide if I should buy or not.. . .The PC will determine how much to buy automatically
In fact you might as well completely hide the PC value from view. . .AIM will still pump out an Buy or Sell advice automatically, without you having to look at the PC.
