In its absolute simplicity the quantitative DCT approach suggests that, as the share price of a quality blue chip share declines, so the share represents a better purchase value opportunity (the share is cheaper). The reverse applies; so as the share price increases in value, it will represent an increased potential for profit taking.
Dollar Cost Trading involves buying potential value at the lower points and frequently locking in gains by selling at higher points, thus maximising the potential from share price volatility. The NavTraDE investment management system quantifies what constitutes relatively low and high points in the actual share price.
It makes intuitive sense to buy shares in quality companies when the share price is falling and to sell when the share price is rising. However, it may take considerable time for share prices to recover to previous levels and beyond. Therefore the full benefits of Dollar Cost Trading will be realised over the medium to long term.
Dollar Cost Trading differs from Dollar Cost Averaging as the latter is only an averaging technique, as its very name evidences. Dollar Cost Averaging does not attempt to identify low and high points but simply involves a set amount being used to purchase shares at regular time intervals.
In the simplest terms then:
• Identify strong and stable Blue Chip Companies.
• Without trying to second guess the market, you would buy when the shares are cheap (Value) and sell when higher to lock in the profit.
• This process of selling at a price higher than the purchase price creates realized gains which are then paid out to the investor as a quarterly distribution. (Income)
• The distributions are remarkably consistent, because they are realized as a result of the overall volatility of all the ‘Blue Chip’ shares in the portfolio.
• It doesn’t matter if the market is going up or down; there always is price fluctuation and thus volatility.
• Even if a share plunges say 20%, there will still be opportunity to trade at the bottom; please refer to the attached file for the example. (Which speaks for itself)
• Furthermore it doesn’t matter even if one is fully in a share and cannot buy more because one has reached the trade limit (10% max or no more available cash); there will still be price volatility at that level and hence trading is still possible. (Value add)

Just posting this hoping to prompt a response from anyone who attended last nights gathering. Please spill the beans on what transpired for all of us that were unfortunately unable to attend.

I jotted down a few notes which I'll try and post in the next day or so, but I'd say the majority of it would already be on the NI website and PDS.kissfan said:Hi all.
