Hi Jack,
Congrats! Glad you enjoy it, and thanks for the kind words. Running simulations in PCA, though presently tedious, is quite interesting. We're working on making it a lot easier.
That's an excellent idea you have, displaying the number of buys/sells. I usually just scan down the trades and count 'em up, but I think it's a "must have" in the future. I agree the current PCA has it's limitations, but it's a lot better than "Lichello Longhand" for back-testing!
I ran an interesting simulation on E-Toys....testing those E-IPO's is a heck of a lot of fun..
ETYS since IPO week of 5/17/99 to present
500 shares/$500 minimum/50% cash/10% resistances
PCA $21,885
B/H $1,031
AIM 32%
B/H 3%
What a great AIM chart. The stock made a perfect V, or perhaps you could say the stock had "Vealed". <g>
The market sure is getting "interesting" these days, and I've seen quite a bit of bearish sentiment this weekend. Theoretically, AIMer's should be sitting on a bit more cash than your typical fund manager ;)It brings back to mind the idea of using GTC orders vs. updating your stock prices next Friday.....
I suppose there's also the option of trying to "pick a bottom" and let AIM "size" the trade for you, but I'm sure Bernie wouldn't condone it ;) Perhaps raising buy resistances if things get ugly may be the way to go? Then again, I'll bet more than a few AIMer's have missed a great buy trying to "hold off"..
Anyway, have fun and feel free to share any interesting observations you have. AIM has something for everyone, that's what makes it so great.
Best Wishes,
