STRING CYCLES – Compounding Cycle Profits
String Cycles, also referred to as “Stringing”, is used to run multiple cycles in succession. This strategy option is recommended when the stock is trending or moving sideways.
When setting up a new cycle there is the option to turn on String Cycles. You can also toggle Stringing on or off in the stock’s Trade page.
When Stringing is turned on and the current cycle is ending, the system will sell or buy shares required to start the next cycle with the required number of shares. For example, if running just one cycle without Stringing the last trade will liquidate all remaining shares and capture the expected profit. If the starting shares required is 500, Stringing is on, and the current shares held is 300, the final trade to complete the Cycle will be a buy of 200 shares. If current shares held is 600, then the final trade to end the Cycle will be a sell of 100 shares.
Stringing has the effect of spinning off cash at the end of each cycle, so running many cycles consecutively can compound your account and allow you to add more stocks to the system.
Caution is required when Stringing. Keep aware of the current price action of the stock. Monitor for any substantial change in volatility or trend that may cause you to want to turn off stringing and end the cycle.
