Clive,

You don't have to trade each and every step and can make it progressive either by delaying trades to make larger trades later, or by dynamically adjusting the top and bottom range to widen/narrow the trade range and amounts traded.

Exactly! Waiting for the next ladder-step is essentially a filter!
Using the delay-filter option is more or less my view already on AIMing, on the basis of my thinking: "Always be the "Overlay Manager" of the Trading Algorithm. The "system" may run it's course as long it is does not "get out of hand". I treat is as I treated my kids. . .as long as they did not get close to a cliff or were not about to fall in a river or get not about to get hurt in some way I let then loose. . . Like it will be with investing my "kid management" did not always working out as intended, My oldest boy Damian did fall in the swimming pool when barely being able to walk. . .I was right there to fish him out. My second boy tried to climb on the TV, on which an aquarium was standing(it should not have been there!),. . .I heard a big noise and little Sean came running into the kitchen hollering: "Papa, the television started to walk". . It scared me a lot, as Sean could have been seriously hurt. He did not have scratch. For the fish we had to find alternative accommodation and a glass coffee table did also not survive

I do not pretend I am a perfect Vortex AIM Overlay Manager either.
