Hi Conrad,

You posted some interesting ideas related to VORTEX and AIMWAY.

For easy reference, I cut and paste parts of your post below:

1 Use a small Holding Zone, say +/- 2% of the last buy/sell action. Different holding zone percentages such as + 5% and -2% are fine too, and even better for certain objectives(to let a bit of the profit run);

2 Eliminate the use of the SAFE in the Market Order. This SAFE is intended to reduce the trading action. Otherwise very useful for traditional AIMing objectives but for (day) trading it is a real KILLER;

3 Apply a Trade Multiplier to the Advice:

Trade=(PC-SV)*M

M could be anything from 1,5 to 10(or more). It al depends on your trading profile.

I have a few questions:

1. Have you tried out this approach?

2. If so, how did it go?

3. It seems like it might work with less volatile, conservative stocks. Is there a spreadsheet available to check it out with some data?

It goes without saying that you need to be on the ball all the time and be a bit savvy about it: if you do this and you pay no attention to the market or have no bailout limits...if you are a ZZZzzzzz-type investor this approach may get out of hand by buying into a deep diver TOO SOON, or selling-off high value shares of a steep riser TOO SOON.

Not to complicate things too much, however, depending on where on the bigger wave (i.e. standard AIM wave) the stock is at, one could have a separate cash reserve to AIM the AIMWAY portion to protect against the deep diver situation, or hold a core position within AIMWAY, in order to have an opportunity to benefit from the steep riser. In other words, what this amounts to is AIMing the smaller fluctuations within standard AIM.

Just a thought...

Jack
