Hi Adam

>>>>So how do you get a buying point at 45.5?<<<<

I will take a stab at it.

He identified something he wants to buy but does not as long as it is going down. When some moving average is crossed or AIM stops directing a buy (if he pretended he implemented all the buy signals) he then does the buying as AIM would direct if it did that drop all in one month.

I find Don Carlson's method interesting though I haven't done it.

Delay all AIM trades till the 13 day MA crosses the 30 day MA. If a stock is moving down the 13 will be below the 30 so no buys till a stock starts to turn up and the 13 crosses the 30. If a stock is going up, no sells till the 13 drops below the 30 (the stock has just started to go down) So ideally this has you buying and selling more closer to the highs and lows.

HI Adam
First let me say that I use AIM as it was designed. I assume you use it in the same manner.
So, I will try to explain or describe my buying entry method in this way.
You, I assume, buy as the price is declining. I postpone my buys until the stock starts an uptrend move.
When I do enter a stock; I AIM the stock the same way as a person who has postponed their buys. Every other week, month or any other postponed buying(waiting for uptrend) method.

Have you ever made a postpone buy?
Did you AIM your stock any differently once you made a buy entry?
So,their is not one difference in the way that I handle the stock. Once I enter, I AIM the stock the same way as a postponed buyer.

"Is that it? I wonder if this is just a theorectical method or if it actually works in practice, not just on backtesting."

So, in effect you are asking if the postponing of buying actually works in practice using the AIM design?
Emphatically yes. I have read some other Aimers who would also agree.
