Steve .....great post! Thanks for sharing and I hope other users that might be using both AIM software and X_DEV will share their results as you have.
Though I must stress again that while X_DEV shares it's root with AIM, the philosophy behind their algorithmic properties are very different. AIM is for those who feel investing through long term position trades is best. X_DEV is generally for those who are a bit more active and feel that the interactivity can produce better results than without it. It feels longer term investing is best achieved through a series of shorter term well positioned trades.
Both philosophy's have merit, but I feel the new market action will prove X_DEV will generate better returns, and posts like yours will prove it.
