I'll need to concentrate on the PC adjustment related to Stop Loss executions.

You're too conditioned to using single stock AIM's Steve.

AIM uses STOCK VALUE not share price. Unitising single stock AIM's eliminates the problem. You're stock value just remains flat(ish) during stopped out periods.

I guess if you were intending to use a share price based AIM to determine the stop and re-entry points then you'd have to run two AIM's per holding, one based on stock value the other on share price.

Hi Grabber

Would leaving the AIM settings the same but only trading on some Moving Average crossover achieve what you are looking for.

No sells till security starts to drop (then one big sale)

No buys till a security starts to rise (then one big buy)

In theory I like the idea of combining AIM with a MA but you might miss some smaller signals.

As I read it that Hell was not such a Hot Place at all for him, more like a Waiting Room. He just had no idea to how to handle the problem and was beating about the bush on it when he happen to run into an old car, or tractor, with these plates on it in a old barn and then he used that without doing any analysis on it to prove if it was an optimum amount. . .if he did I must have had a blackout:-)

The Lichello Flaw crept in the moment he decided on the 50% Update without adding a compensation factor to set the Trade=0 after a trade. In the end I have read that many an AIMer complained that the 50% was far to high and caused a too high a Cash Burn Rate.
