Hello Don,

Somewhere back in the day I posted a commentt on MA's and AIM back on the SI board. I was soundly trounced for such a denunciation. I am glad this board is more tolerant of different views. Todd R. had discussed his experience with MACD while I focused on the slope of the equity line.

Myst took some of my ideas forward but they essentially fell upon deaf ears.

There has been a great deal of discussion regarding AIM and the absense of a breaking mechanism. Another problem, not as frequently addressed is the concept of a fixed time interval. The market is dynamic and so should AIM. By this I mean that the market should dicatate if the update is Daily, Weekly or Monthly.

I would not agree that Stochastics have no lag as there is inherent lag in any given lookback period. Now that can be reduced by using Stochastic Momentum, but I digress.

Anyway, interesting stuff. Hopefully some of it will make it into your software.

Regards,

Leap

Don Carlson,

I have looked at your results from the thorough study on MACRO AIM. It caused me to look at the charts you developed along with the study. One chart that is not clear to me is this one:
http://www.ttrader.com/mycharts/display.php?p=5646&u=doncarlson&a=Don's%20Charts&id=219

It appears from my reading of the chart that the end result is that Buy and Hold (the Red line) gave a better end result than using any other approach. I suspect that I am not understanding what the chart is displaying. Can you give me some clarification?

Regards
Charley
