Hello RG, Thanks for the settings of 1% of equity to trade, 2% buy safe and 2% sell safe. The settings I am using for my live AIM account are 10% to trade, 0% buy safe and 14% sell safe. For the simulation, I used weekly data for CTRA.TO from Jan. 30, 95 to Feb. 7, 00 because this is the data I used for simulation prior to setting up the AIM account. Start Price: $ 11.744 End Price: $ 19.900 Results: The settings of 1 / 2 / 2 produced 117 trades and ROCAR of 34%. Cost per share - $16.25. The settings of 10 / 0 / 14 generated 17 trades and ROCAR of 99%. Cost per share - $4.99. I applied a commission of $27 per minimum trade of $1000. I thought that commissions might be responsible for the difference in the numbers. So, I removed the commission for comparison purposes and found that the results in both cases only improved by a few percentage points. I don't know what to make of it. What are your thoughts? Regards, Jack
