Hi Ocroft, I was working through the example of Clive post 35618. You state you would buy at 45.5 . In this example the stock started at 100 per share and went down to 40.96 and presumably recovered to above 45.5 .

I have a couple of questions so I can understand precisely your method. In the AIM spreadsheet we have Raw Action= PC-Stock Value

and AIM Suggested Action , which takes into acount the SAFE

and Recommended Action, which also takes into account trade minimum.

So I presume, you pretend you make the trades but don't make them. Then when the AIM Suggested Action returns to zero, that's your buying point. Is that correct? At that point the Raw Action still has a residual buy. Also the buy at that point is very large: about equal to the initial buy in dollar value and far exceeds the initial buy in share numbers. If the stock now drops further you again the have the deep-diver scenario.

The other question is: exactly what is your buy? Do you sum up the shares in the buys you would have made and buy them at 45.5 or do you remove those virtual buys from the spreadsheet and see what the spreadsheet says to buy at 45.5?
