Trade 1
I was in the process of checking through my charts in the FO when this beautiful looking seed developed. The gators were open and signal candle positioned nicely according to my trading plan, with fresh AO and a nice step formation of Aims boxes. I am not taking full credit for this as M5 gators not quite right but got away with it this time.

Trade 2
Price showed new peak of AO and signaled a cluster of seeds I took the third seed but price pulled back to give me a rent. This was the markets way of wrapping my knuckles for
Pushing my luck on first trade.

There was no more entries on the London session as market was behaving in a whipsaw mood on the M5 chart and refused to give me a definite sense of direction

Weekly Summery

I want to start off by saying thank you to the guys in the Skype chat as they all gave me a warm welcome and made me feel at home right away, Big Thank you Guys . I will attend the chat when ever I can. I was lucky this week to get time off work I maybe ok for next week too as I am owed lots of holidays.

So this week has been a turn around week for me trading wise as I was introduced to the seeds and cherries. I completed my trading plan and feel much calmer and stress free for doing it. Before I turn on my charts I spend 15mins meditating to clear my head and cleanse my self. I can feel myself evolving as a trader and this is exactly why I joined Aims to be a better trader. I am still a little rough around the edges but all the same I am feeling that I am getting there.

Have a great weekend and happy trading

I wanted to Thank You (It's Thanksgiving week here in the US) for creating your journal. Although you joined AIMS one month after I did, I have learned a lot from your trading. Your progress is very encouraging to me.

Thanks again,

Hi Ed

Have a great thanksgiving and I thank you for your message. When I read your message it made me smile to think that my journal has helped and inspired someone to become a better trader. I think Aims is like a fractal in its self because I have Journals that I read which inspire me such as Grants and MZ Journals (thanks Guys) and as I learn and become a better trader my Journal inspires others and so on.

I have learnt a lot from the guys and I still have a little way to go yet, but each day I take a step further to my goals.

What Immy has here is very special and I am fast learning that the most important things are discipline and learn to let go of fear,greed and negative emotions, plus measure your trading from a bunch of trades and not one or two. This will stop your emotions from clouding your judgment.

I don't know if you have read it yet but If could recommend one book to read it would be Trading In The Zone by Mark Douglas. This book compliments Aims strategies and go together like Cheese On Toast (yummie).

Have a wonderful day
John

London open started a little indecisive with a up one bar and down next bar and so on, so I decided to sit on my hands and let the market sort itself out after the weekend break.

Then later in the session this seed trade appeared so I placed my pending and waited. The trade looked ideal according to my trading plan and my take profit worked out to also be inline with TZ1 on the M5 chart. The next bar closed and looked almost invisible so I zoomed in to take a closer look. It was a Doji bar that had just closed above seed by a minuscule. By the time I had realised this market had taken my pending and I was in the trade.

The market move quite quickly but bounced back up just short of my TP, but there was no panic as by this time my trade was at break even so it was in a state of 2% profit or break even, so nothing to loose here. This trade needed no help from me anymore.

Thankfully the market was in a good mood and let me have the 2% profit for a 1% risk

The US session opened and was not tradable at all same goes for open of NEO as you can see from the chars below. We have flat gators and purple lines plus lots of long wicks on the candles in both 1M and M5 charts its time to do something more interesting.

Proud of myself for not being tempted

Todays London Open started with good momentum. The burgundy dotted line marks a strong upper Aims boxes for several weeks on the one hour chart. Price tried to cut below it but was refused and soon rejected and re-traced. A seed signal did appear at 10:12 GKFX time but I filtered it because of reasons above and because there was already quite a lot of movement in the open ( I am not suggesting it was the correct decision but its within my rules and if I break them then there's no point in me having them. Discipline is king).

Price did eventually move through the support but was soon magnetised back to the area staying there for quite some time and marked the end of London session for me.

US session started with out me as I could not get to trading desk. Looking back the 15:00 cherry and the 15:07 seed looked good set ups. In the NEO session nothing was to take my fancy so closed my terminal around 17:30 broker time. No trades for me today. Look forward to a relaxing evening with the family.

Todays London open started off a little slow with a sleeping gator on M5, then price burst into life around 11:00 broker time creating a nice breakout before stalling enough to take a breath before continuing on its journey.
A seed developed on a new AO peak and so I made my entry and couple of small pushes up and I was soon at break even. Price then retraced slightly to take me out at BE before continuing upwards. This sometimes happens but as long as we followed rules the trade was a success. I wasn't able to join the guys at skype due to being mobile.

I finished my session at 12:00 broker time (GMT 10:00) especially has price had decide to sit right under some 1H Aims lows plus work commitments.

US Session was a little disappointing and even though there was gators nicely open on M5 nothing really happened on the 1M chart with sleeping gators. Then around 16:50 price started move quite Quickly. A quick glance showed it was a break out of the M5 Aims box.

A pullback developed and two cherry and a seed signal appeared between 17:01 and 17:04 broker time but I passed on them as the first impulse wave was a little too big for my liking.

So result for today One BE Trade in the London session...Not sure if I will be able to trade tomorrow as work is begging me to go in

John,

Thanks for the tips. I will have to review my copy of "Trading In The Zone" because I am definitely not in it! Is there a book called "Dazed, Confused, and Not Getting It"? Although I am not getting notified of your new posts, I will check in regularly to see what you are up to.
