Adam, you are right on the button!
It's a good distinction to be made between reviewing and trading frequency.
I must admit that it rarely happens that I agree with other people's arguments. . .usually some nit-picking is possible.
In this case I have combed your post with the finest comb I could find and there is not even 1-bit I do not agree with!
You are exactly expressing my point: Remain the Master of your Investment Machine. . .Buy and Sell as the Machine dictates only when you are sure that it is the correct call for you.
This applies also to how often one wants to trade. . .One might be a savvy investor and have a good hunch. . .I mean good information. . . that the equity is moving between an upper and lower bound. . .Then it is a sensible decision to trade as frequently as the cycling stock prices will dictate it.
As you may have noticed in my other posts today, I am fully aware that delaying buys (and sells too) can be a good thing to do. I have said so in may post in the past also.
When Don Carlson figured out. . . ages ago. . .his idea for his filter for delaying buys and sells using a crossing-over of a moving average he send me the example he made up for it and asked me to check it out so as to make sure he had made no errors. When I was doing this checking I came upon the perfect name for his filter: Moving Average Cross Over. . .and suggested the name MACRO for it to Don, which he gratefully gave me credit for that time.
