Result: R1:R-1
Comments:M1 Gator was closed and purple was in the correct position, although a little far away from the AIMS Box. M5 Gator was open. AO came up to the ZL, and price retraced to nearly 50%. so it looked like a completed W3 down with a fairly sharp W4 up. It didn't have much momentum on the down trend and stayed at just below 1R for 20 bars before price rose and stopped me out.

Comments:M1 Gator was closed and purple was in the correct position. M5 Gator was open. AO had a fresh cross of the ZL, and price retraced to nearly 61.8% of the down wave. Price had a large spike down to trigger my PO, and then immediately went up and stopped me out.

optimistic and maybe a little aggressive as I hadn't had a valid setup for 3 trading days. That being said, I would have still taken this trade.

Result: R1:R-1
Comments: M1 Gator was sleeping just prior to LO. A setup was indicated, and I put a PO in. The price spiked down and hit my stop, and then proceeded to jump 10R at LO. One thing I learned was that my new broker's spreads were high, which triggered my PO sooner than anticipated. I should have also put my PO in higher, as the levels to the left were close.

Comments: M1 Gator was closed. Placed the PO, taking into account levels to the left. The AO crossed the ZL. Price moved down, but didn't hit the 1 to 1 mark to move to BE, as I had the larger SL. Price retraced and hit original SL. It looks like my broker has wide spreads until 1 minute before LO, so I won't be taking any more trades until 09.59 from now on.

Re: Batch 3 Trade 10
Thanks for the comments iMi. I hadn't taken many trades in the previous 3 weeks, so I was probably stretching the definition of a Setup 1.
