Sounds like a worthwhile project. While watching for the outcome of your future reseach, I will continue on the path I'm following today, that is, take the path of least resistance. Intuitively, it makes sense and moreover with the use of Maximes PPs, easy to determine. Whether the stock advanced due to market conditions or least resistance is secondary to me at the moment; I simply want them both in line in the same direction. If you are able to validate that there is a strong correlation between a stocks' gain and your low balance number, you will be making a major contribution. You are a great asset to anyone serious about trading. Keep up the good work, and lol.
