Hi Allen,

using Ocroft's method to enter, much of the return comes from the recovery in the first cycle. For a deep diver, one has a good chance of making a +50% (on the equity portion) in that cycle alone.

From that point on, one can choose to liquidate (like Ocroft mentions in one of his posts I think), or stay. It is probably best to liquidate and move on to another stock; for otherwise, one would have to time their entry from a new top, thus in a way starting a new virtual BTB AIM, which in a sense is like moving to a new program.

However, if one does not use Ocroft's method for an entry, it is almost business as usual in the sense that one buys today, and starts tracking using the BTB method, but executing in a delayed fashion. Overall, I see a 1%-2% improvement per year this method on average. Also, my testing shows that one can squeeze another 0.5% / yr when using a lower buy SAFE, even down at 0%. The delayed method will prevent you from trading often.
