Adam, the use of filters to delay buying was discussed after the Ocroft Method was presented, but long before that for example the MACRO Filter of Don Carlson that was proposed many years ago has been discussed as well here. . .Conclusion then were the same then as the same now. . .if the price drops are not deep enough one misses a lot of trades and can even activate trades that creates loses.

In al the discussions on Oroft's Method I have not grasped how it is essentially different from a MACRO Filter. . .one can play with different MA's and achieve a very similar effect as Ocroft achieves. . .Delaying the AIM Buy results in an increasing Buy Advice that can be implemented after the price recovery occurs.

Hopefully we will hear more about you specific results.
