Hi HT, Looks like everyone's pretty well answered your questions. Remember that at $20 X the number of shares is your starting Portfolio Control (PC). If you've sold a portion of your position on the rise to $35, now the value of the equity is the price X a smaller number of shares. So, if/when the price falls back near your starting point, the value is going to be less than the original PC value. You don't have as many shares! With the lower stock value, the formula will be generating some Buy Advice and a Market Order with the range you described. See Bill's (D1) example for the results. As you experiment with a spreadsheet, run in such numbers as you've just tried to see how AIM reacts. It's a great education. Without an electronic spreadsheet it would have taken me a very long time to have learned AIM's "Personality!" Best regards, Tom
