wow

Is setup1 about to be redefined???

I have often added 63EMA to my charts and find it to be potentially a good crossover signal
I wish more people would come on here to share something on their journals

Great Immy - thanks for posting all of that. I will try to get my head around the new simplistic approach but on first impressions I like it a lot!

I agree with TMM and would love to see some charts with some trades on them, just to stamp the method home. Then once clear we can play around and experiment with the new template. :) :D :)

Has Grant been using this setup for his live trades over the last few days?

Cheers.

I have been looking at the 'Immy's 34 Trading System' today and have been trying to take trades when the 34SMA is inside the Aims box. This has been the case most of the day as there has been a tight range! I know there is more to it than that and I would like to see examples of the cross of the 34 then the retest as that is the bit that is a little unclear but so far so good. After a very tight ranging day I am about break even which I am quite pleased with considering.

Cheers.

Afternoon,

SO NY did settle down a touch but then Bernanke opened his mouth and it went to crap again, so only 1 trade for me this pm. chart attached...

I'm now off to read the ebook again to find the section on selling the lows of 60 pip AIMS boxes....

Grant - I have noticed that you only take longs when the green gator is above the red and vice versa for shorts - is that correct? If so, why don't you use the blue gator?

Thanks for the answer, my answer is the same....

i dont use the blue line for anything, if alli is sleeping then red and green will be entwined, if its awake then red and green are apart and pointing in the direction of the trend....

so i took it off..

cheers
