Hi Immy

Actually I do wish I had an EA for this then I would give my eyes a rest and it would be even more stress free, because the wait for the right setup can test patience!

I am seeing Aims even more simply than s1 nowadays, but I know you don't like the way I might overlay the chart with extra lines.......

Not that I trade "fruit", I do seem to catch a few precious "windfalls" and sometimes it just seems like magic

Thanks for all your support, there is no other online community like this one I can wholeheartedly attest.
I wish more people would come on here to share something on their journals

I know what you're doing, but its not easy to understand...

Fuzzy logic. that's a good one Immy

To perhaps get a bit more insight have a revisit of Kiravon's musings around November

What surprises me is the returns are very constant, in the measure of rolling average through hundreds of trades, in spite sometimes of some fairly pathetic consecutive losses. My best days therefore begin when I tell myself "I believe in my strategy and I will just adhere to it because it pays"

This afternoon, one trade so far for 58 pips, out at Green Line, although not its first touch of the alligator's lips

Nice feelings

Hi,

regarding your last trade. Where do you had the SL? The price broke the aims level you started the trade. Do you had a higher fractal for it? And if so, why?

Thank you in advance.

Cheers Thomas

Was that a magical trade or what? I think you must have used your intuition to stay in after three pullbacks!

Hello Thomas and Ed I now see........



Actually my Sell signal came an hour earlier than my entry, at 9755 at approx 1400Hrs GMT also coinciding with a cross of the AO of zero line

I did not see the signal because I was at a seminar and only got back at 1445

I saw a chance to get in at about 1449 on the short, believing not only that it would continue, but that the turn of the hour (1500 GMT) might also see a boost of selling. I was partially right because it did go down more but not after a slight retrace.

I stayed in at 1505 because it did not cross the purple line but "respected" it and bounced off nicely

I also stayed in at 1535 when it crossed green first time because I wasn't even really looking, but had put top of previous aims box as a stop loss, and thereafter trailed the GL down until I was taken out, maybe 10 or 15 pips above its bottom, and I had to stay happy with that exit even if it went down a bit more, not for long, after my exit.

That's about as much as I can remember

PS I did not put many lots on that trade, but was happy to notice the ROC was more than 6% :)
