I guess I'm confused. Why would changing the Buy SAFE modify the sell point in the model? Did I twist your terms around? I'm not using Newport software. In the spreadsheet given to me, modifying the Buy SAFE only modifies the point at which you make your next purchase and has nothing to do with modifying the point at which your next sale occurs unless the purchase modifies the Portfolio Control. From what I can see, lowering the Buy SAFE moves the next purchase level closer to the initial level. I ran this test on the spreadsheet I have. Using a $20,000 initial investment in GM at $73.875 with a 25% cash reserve and a minimum trade of $1000. Here is what I get: Buy Buy Sell Sell SAFE % Price SAFE % Price --------------------------------- 10 $62.68 10 $87.56 0 $68.95 10 $87.56 -10 $76.61 10 $87.56 ---------------------------------
