Hi Toof,
I understand your remark on this, but Cases 1 & 2 are not my suggestion as to how to do it, or what I would do. From the time of the discussions, already several years ago,there were various discussions going on as to what Ocroft precisely did and I presented the 2 ways of interpreting what he had said in his discussions, in response to the question of Adam Hellberg on "missing the Buy Opportunity".
I even recall that Ocroft had commented something like 'What you exactly do is not really critical, as long as you delay the Buys to a good "Buy Point", close to the Bottom Price'.
As usual AIMers tend to "love" giving their one "Twist" to any method that appears on this Forum. . . The two cases I presented were not my "twists" :-)
In a more positive way of saying this I have observed over the many years on this Forum that what I have called a "Twist" AIM Tinkerers might call it. . .
The Cherry on Their Cake :-)
One of the "Cherries" on the Cake for me was calling the AIM Residual Buy "The Lichello Flaw" from which I developed my Vortex AIM, and my Cherry reverberated through the AIM Universe as a Big Bang for years :-)
