Adi: << Ben, Thanks for the updated copy of AIM 1.3 I have a couple of "dumb" questions - >> The only "dumb" question I know of is the one no one asks. Don't feel embarrased to ask questions. << What is the function of the safe buy/sell margin parameters? >> The safe buy margin is a percent of your stock value and it is subtracted from the difference of porfolio_control and stock_value. If the result is positive, aim triggers a buy signal. The same type of calculations is done on the sell side. These indicators are control functions that maintains your cash and stock levels at a certain point. The default for the safe margins is .1 or 10%. That is what Robert Lichello recommands, I added a configurable options (-sbm and -ssm) if you want to experiment with different values. << As I input periodic values of the share prices, what prompts AIM to recommend Buy/sell orders? >> The portfolio_control and safe margins are the indicators that determine when a good time is for buy or sell and by how much. If you want more details than read Robert Lichello's book on this called "How to Make $1,000,000 in the Stock Market Automatically". << If these questions have been addressed elsewhere, please point me the correct direction. TIA Adi >> Your Welcome, Ben
