Hi SF

Reguarding your problem with delayed trades and your next buy price.

With standard Aim there is a 30% price move from your last sell to first buy or last buy to first sell. That is too big a move to wait.

Read what other people have suggested as a trade signal including my suggestion for a 13/30 MA croosover as a trade signal.

Hi Allen, what I and some others do is look at the ZigZag analysis on stockcharts.com and try different ZigZag percentages until I get enough points over a long time interval like 5 years or so. I then set my Sell and Buy Safe, minimum trade size, and stock value so the hold zone matches the ZigZag size above.

In general with ETFs the 30% hold zone of AIM BTB is too large to result in enough trades.
