Hi jaiml

If you are smart enough to pick the exact bottom and decide to use no down Aim, you will never buy any shares.

Think about it.

You are starting with no shares. Since it is not going down you are not buying any, and as it goes up you have no shzres to sell.

Now I suppose you can pretend you are selling also and then when it eventually pulls back you might get a buy, but are you sitting on a bunch of cash waiting to allocate while you do this?

I personally dont change what I want to own. The things I want to own I will always own. I just let Aim decide how much of each.

The easiest way for me to think of LD Aim is 1.5 to 3 times leverage.

I set innitial PC to 1.5 to 3 times the actual stock starting amount (no more than 3 times). Set SAFE to 5% and minimum order size to 10%. It needs those settings to work properly. The amount of cash to stzrt with should equal the PC

LD Aim either allows you to have bigger trades with the same money or a greater number of accounts if you need diversification.

Hi jaiml,

info about the NO-DOWN version of AIM?
this is AIM starting with only virtual shares. for the rest similar to AIM btb.

what did you pick as the start period of your virtual GNAT AIM and based on what

started in Feb 2011 and got a first buy in August 2012.
a second buy in June 2013 and recently the 3rd and 4th buy.

my parameters are (10,0,6,5) (buy safe,sell safe, min buy%, minsell%) and the trading bracket currently is (18.33,22.39)

I am not completely sure about GNAT, so I don't twinvest it. But am willing to buy some at lower prices. It would be interesting to have a dip and then up again. Would be able to sell all shares in that case maybe. The volume of shares traded with nodown aim is higher relatively than aim btb, which could be an enhancement return-wise.

insist on the stock having 3 years of history. Go back to the beginning and start on the day the last sell was executed
that would be a nice way of doing it.

One thing about GNAT, you need to use GTC orders and don't use the monthly buy rule. I lost a buy-sell couple with the monthly buy rule.
(assuming it is not falling apart, which is a possibility with Nickel prices for example very weak)

I think the majority of your investments should be in VTI etc. and GNAT is a much smaller play with natural resource risk.

Best,K
