Marc,

If you eliminate "The Lichello Flaw" in the Regular Lichello AIM then how did you modify the Buy Function? Did you keep the SAFE settings the same?

How did you integrate this into the standard AIM Buy Function?

Regular AIM Buy = (PV-V) -s*V<--------------s is the Safe Fraction

If now you use (1/(1-f))*(PV-V)-s*V, <------For f= 0
it is the Regular AIM Buy Function. So, for any value of f>0 you will get a larger Buy . ..BUT then the Regular AIM will still give you a Residual Buy because of the “ –s*V” factor .
I do not understand how the Buy Formula was changed in your tests.

It stands to reason that for a fund that cycles on a horizontal line the results are higher, but have you tried it on a series of real stock prices that are NOT selected to have a particular trend?

What did you actually Test?
