This could help also.
PC = stock price
PC increases by 1/2 purchases
SAFE = 10% of stock value SV = stock value
Min order size = 5%
Start with 50% cash and 50% stock
If SV > PC
( Potential sale )
(SV - PC) - SAFE = x
If x > .5 SV then sell x
If PC > SV
( POTENTIAL BUY )
(PC - SV) - SAFE= X
if X > .5 SV then buy X
(also increase PC by 1/2 X )
Write down the monthly prices for a whole market cycle ( spy, TSLA, ) maybe something that goes down then up and something that goes up and down.
You will have a lot of months with no trades.
AIM does better than underlying on the way down and not quite as good on the way up. It takes at least one market cycle.
