Hi Allen, Re: Sandbox Results vs backtested data..........
My settings are slightly different from Mr. Lichello's "AIM-High" but not too much so. Yes, I'm using 10% Buy SAFE but only zero on the sell side. My minimum trade value is 10% of Portfolio Control, so that might give you a difference from my method, too.
My best buy was at $11.99 back at the end of October, 2018. It then bounced upward for a short while only to retest that low at the end of December, 2018. So, my LIFO turn on those last shares was over 38%, about which I won't complain!
I've also been adding 5 points to Buy SAFE with each sequential buy. So, SAFE had risen from 10% to 25% by the time the October buy took place. Now that I've had a sale, it's been dialed back by 5 to 20%. I drop the Buy SAFE with each sequential sale or 'vealie' until it gets back to my 10% starting point.
Order size in shares is 10% of holding on the Sell side and 12% on the buy side as minimums. That works out closely to the 10% of Portfolio Control value for minimum trades. When my cash reserve has swollen to be near my current risk threshold, then if I get a Sell signal, I'll either do a 'vealie' or just sell 5% so I don't over-shoot my cash target.
