Is AIMS to Close = Yes AIMS was very small even former box was still small

That does not refer to Box Size. This means, "is the Box Low/High to the Left of your entry too close. By too close we mean, anything below 1R. e.g. if peak of 3 is near and you won't hit your 1R before it hits Peak of 3, you filter that trade. If the level to the left is just a few pips better put PO below that level.

sometimes there are clear multiple levels to the left, creating this "congestion" zone. you want to make a po below/above that zone. this is where a bit of subjectivity comes. This makes it fun as well... This is that bit where EA's fail human brain does not if free of fear/gree i.e. objective.

when i entered the box size was around 20 pips still good if i look at the overall box size only when my entry bar was finished the box became much smaller, that smaller box with a closer TP would give me a Win now it was a Rent next time also looking for setups with a better deeper pullback

Oke i understand it is better to have a deeper pullback so there is more room for the market to move up or down toward the TZ1.
More room between the boxes to the left means also less support and resistance problems u may get right?

hi Gert

ideally 2 candles later when the box high was created, you got a "discount" on the buy... when that happens you have to assess the situation again and if everything else is ok move PO to the new better price.... The burger shop suddenly dropped prices but you said, its ok I'll pay the price you quoted 30 min ago. its ok


Nothing else wrong with it. it did not work you followed your plan. job done... NEXT
