Hi SF

You get a bigger trade if you implement all the delayed trade rather than just using the Aim formular to figure the current trade.

Also using the dollar amount gets you more shares at that lower price than using the delayed shares amount.

I would have to think about what happens on the sell side.

I suppose just using the current calculation will sell the least shares, using the dolar amount more, and using the delayed share amount would sell the most. That is just my guess.

Like everything else, I believe that once you pick a method, stick with it. But you may want to use one method for buys and another for selling.

Hi SFSecurity

I accumulate the dollar amounts for the prior virtual trades and use that total.
Example. 10-8-5-4-5-8-10 model. BTB the model in a spreadsheet as the model is declining.
When the model makes an aim uptrend move at 5; I add up the 8-5-4 dollar amount and used that amount to accumulate shares.

Using aim in this simple fashion, will keep you out of trouble. It can also keep from entering a losing position; and If you are in losing position, it can keep you possibly from losing all of your capital in that position.

Note. I have now added a simple visual MACD.SDRL example. The blue line has to a least turn upward. Nothing complicated.
Just visual.
