Re: Herbert's trades for discussion
Hey Jeff. Since the initial impulse beforehand and a groggy but not sleeping alligator, i consider this setup 2.
Looking at 10sec elliot, the AO high and w5 divergence would confirm that.

Re: Herbert's trades for discussion
This morning at Frankfurt open i was scanning for a AIMS2 trade but did not take it.
?
Your input would be appreciated.
(Note: i do not try too much to find 1/2 or other waves, just the setup, but like to understand which wave i am in so i can expect behaviour)
Since we had significant movement during the asian session, I attempted to see what wave structure was preceding. See 5min chart.
Thus this mornings rally kicking off before frankfurt open i saw as w5, but 1min did not allow aims1 setup on 1min.
I then ecpected a retrace to formulate aims 2. The blue/yellow/red (blue my prelim target..12 pips) lines are my pending order manager, not placed yet, in plan mode. that is how it stayed....
AO was not close to zl so i hesitated. I wil have to look at aims notes to see possible behaviour of what i assume a w5 abc. Seems momentum was too strong at b???
Would any have taken a trade here? Is this considered an aggressive entry??
Thanks
Herbert

Re: Herbert's trades for discussion
Hi Herbert
I have sat and watched this morning slightly frustrated to see such good move but no setup.
As I saw it there was a possible setup short but the there was no fresh cross of AO so I declined - this would have been a rent.
The first long setup 1 was into purple, and all future breaks had an AO that for me was too far from zl so again I declined.
Just the way it goes sometimes.
Hopefully we will see a retrace and get a setup for the wave 5 long on 1 min.
Cheers
Mike
