I had a good feeling about the third trade but it didn't fly. There was s1 on m5 also and double AIMS as you stated. Oh well.. it has been just stuck market for couple of days. Tomorrow there's some activity in school and can't participate to London open. Keep the market stuck for 2 hours from London open for me tomorrow, will ya? Would hate the situation where there's an open M5 alligator, no-brainer S1 on M1, lot of add-on places with 200 pips result on the screen :p

Hey mate, I don't mean to sound as though I'm telling you how to suck eggs...... but for me this entry is just too late. We talk about 'close to ZL' but for me what's more important is asking 'is this the start of the wave', and in this case the wave is not at its beginning. Just my opinion, but this is back to the 'first break of AIMS' stuff we often discuss. I know you're respecting purple and M5 levels with this entry, but maybe they're reasons to filter? :-B \m/

We seem to be taking the same trade Tomi! :)

Yeah, tough week so far especially when you miss a couple of winners because of computer crashes and driving, but with my last trade I am slightly up for the week so not bad at all! :)

I will think of a way of freezing the market for you. :)

I totally agree Dave and I was annoyed with myself for taking that trade, especially as I had decided to stop for the day about 10 minutes before it but I just happened to look at the screen! Probably the problem was that I hadn't had a trade all day and was looking for any type of setup! Another lesson learned. :)

Thanks Sam.

Just one so far this morning, about BE closing on black dot. I am trying to let things run a bit more but it didn't work out on this trade. There was another blue dot after I was stopped out but I felt the Aims box was a little big so filtered before it broke back into the H1 range! Oh well, next...
