Hi Keith, Something else I was going to bring up in LV was that I only trade x00 share lots (to keep my life simple at tax time). Along with this I always "round down" on either buying or selling. In other words, if I'm getting a Sell signal for 175 Shares of my favorite equity, I just sell 100. This goes for buying as well. A buy signal for 480 shares gets only 400.

Then I wait until the next "period" before trading again.

This isn't exactly on the topic of "half way to the wall", but you can see how it helps conserve shares when selling and conserve cash when buying. It also then makes my tax accounting simpler.

Best regards, Tom
