Conrad,
I was reading some of Don Carson's old posts about MACRO AIM, just following the "replies" chain, when I came across one of your posts on the Advanced Automatic Investor site that Mark (aptus) runs -- post #210 from Sept 14, 2002. In that post you write about a method of improving Vortex, suggested by Bert Post that you called Quantum Leap.
As I read through the post, I kept seeing Ocroft's method of buying into a stock, and wondered why you had a difficult time understanding his method. The terminology you used was a little different -- "I put the Buy on Hold (Market Order in the freezer)...now if the stock recovers, say 5%...I take the MO out of the Freezer and execute the MO."
Your post was about 7.5 years before Ocroft made his ideas known. He wrote about using AIM signals to "stack up" his potential Buys and an AIM reversal to initiate the actual Buy -- you (and Bert) used percentages to activate the Buy Orders and put them "in the Freezer" and a 5% or 10% reversal to actually execute the orders. Same, Same to my mind.
Interesting,
Bob
