Hi Tom,
1) Yes it's new, it opened the door to a stakeholder economy, A transition from shareholder economy. I feel you. :)
2) The SMA 200 day I took, because of the widely accepted BULL / BEAR indication. Together with its SMA 50 for crossover GOLDEN CROSS or DEATH CROSS as indicator and acknowledgement of a BULL MARKET or BEAR MARKET. I think BULL/GOLDEN confirmation justify the swap of buy safe to sell safe using an incremental * truecount. As BEAR/DEATH justify a swap from sell safe to buy safe. I am using 5 SMS: SMA200, SMA100, SMA50, SMA20 and SMA10. When NEUTRAL its all 1% and balanced, buypercent, sellpercent, buythreshold and sellthreshold.
3) Totally agree, my personal perception, is all 3, A) Asset Price Appreciation over Time, B) Dividend Capture over Time, and C) Profitable Volatility Capture over Time.
4) I deeply understand those points. I dropped the handling of AIM as a trading system, its a LEAN MEAN REVERSION MACHINE, A portfolio management system. I incorporated, ZIGZAG, RSI, BB, STOCH and all the rest of the exotic ones. But all these indicators are for a trading system, and the moment I realised that they are all based on the past, I dropped them. Same for ZigZag, it gives a look into the past, but has no value for the actual moment, the now. So SMA as direction indicator is imo the only thing where we could have a glimpse of where we are going. Based on the actual what is happening now, current price deviation from those SMA's. Its moving not static, day 201 is dropped, as each day a new candle is inserted.
But you trigger me, Set It and Forget It!!! Stop dying, and start living. :)
