Thanks Ocroft, you have provided a useful reply here! You make good sense!

I have not used the MARCO. . . or any other filters.

I understand Don Carlson has shifted to other methods himself. He did mention to me once what he was using instead but I did not understand it and did not investigate it further.

Refards,

Hi Ocroft

I have a friend who likes to use the 13 and 30 day moving average crossover as signals to look at a stock. That seems to give wiplashes to me as all MA crossovers do if used alone. Combined with AIM, AIM gets rid of the wiplash. That combination of MA seems to be responsive enough to me.

It is quite easy to go to www.stockcharts.com and put those MA averages on a chart and then replace the stock being viewed one at a time. If one has a crossover you can then calculate if AIM would have you do a trade and how much.

Am I correct that with your method, a security has to reverse 5% (the AIM min buy amount) to allow a trade, or does it work out more than that?
