Hi Myst:

>>>Seems to me, everything you are trying to accomplish with LD AIM has already been accomplished with X_DEV, as KARW already alluded to.

Only with X_DEV you do not have to use "virtual dollars", "virtual shares" or "virtual" anything.

You can use lower amounts of money to begin the investment.
You can adjust the amount of "leverage" you want using X_DEV's buy and sell multiple's.<<<<<

But with LD AIM you can use a paper and pencil.

You do not have to make an EMOTIONAL decision as to what your settings should be.

You can understand where the numbers are comming from because you do not need to rely on a computer program to spit out your trading signals.

Seems to me everything you want to accomplish with X-dev has already been accomplished with LD AIM. But seriously I am sure X-dev has a lot of flexibility but how would I know to choose the exact paramerters that would be similar to LD AIM if that is what I wanted to accomplish. With my luck I would choose paramerters that would work in the type of market which would just be ending.

Take the road less traveled. It will make all the difference.

What Luck!<ggg> The end result may be similar, but the objective going in was clearly not the same.

I was looking for a way to confidently and consistently allocate real $ to initial purchases and reserves, such that I could inexpensively start AIM programs that would accomodate a reasonable and variable set of transactions on both the Buy and Sell side. My other requirement was that the input variables had to be easy to relate to by guys like me (not an easy task if you've ever met me).

I've never studied X-Dev, so I can't comment on it.
