Hi Cjam, got to thinking of you today, so I went and checked your web site. I see from the newsletter that the site was down for a while. Hope you did not lose any web pages. I also saw that you have moved to here for your message board. Well done. About this 'virtual' fund value that you are writing about. It seems a lot like, Value Averaging by Edleson from his book (Value Averaging). Only he doesn't use the 5% stop loss. Speaking of your no loss system how has it been doing of late? Have you thought of adding the 200 day MA to the system. I have been thinking of the 200 day MA of late. My sisters mutual fund has finally gone above the 200 day MA, not sure how well this would work with individual stocks though. You may want to try this. If the stock price is below the 200 day MA do not invest that month, once the stock price goes above the 200 day MA invest all the money of the months you did not invest. Example if the stock stayed below the 200 day MA for three months, when it went above you would invest all three months at what should be close to the low of the year. In a effort to get closer to the low have you tried long term Stochastic Oscillators? http://stockcharts.com/education/What/IndicatorAnalysis/indic_stochasticOscillator.html They have a article here. http://stockcharts.com/education/What/TradingStrategies/lastStochastic.html on the 39 day Oscillator. But I have been thinking of using the 52 week Hi and Low for a Oscillator. Here is a link to the chart. http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/SC.web?c=PNOPX,uu[m,a]daclyyay[df][pb50!b200][vc60][iLh260,1]&....
