Hi Aimster RE Software for LD-AIM

Reguardless of what software you want to use

1)decide how big you want Portfolio Control to be. Set it to that.

2)Decide how many SELLS you want to be able to make and how many shares you would need to buy. Buy that amount (it will be less than PORTFOLIO CONTROL)

3)Set aside an equal amount of cash as the amount of stock you bought.

4)Use your software as normal (but see my previous post reguarding settings for SAFE and MIN ORDER SIZE in LD-AIM)

There is nothing special you then need to do to use your software. By the way your leverage may be 2 to 3.5 but if it was 10 you would only be able to do like maybe 1 sell before running out of shares and then think of the amount of cash you would need if it went down. I realize you probably just came up with the # (10) without thinking but that is what the problem would be.

So lets say you were going to use $15,000 ($10,000 stock, $5,000 cash normal AIM) but with LD-AIM

Set PC at $10,000
Set SAFE at 5%
Set Min Order at 10%

Buy $3,000 to $4000 stock, and set aside $3,000 cash

You now either have $3,000 to $4,000 to do something else with or a larger account than you would have.Only you know the difference.

Hope this helps
