Re: Topher's Journal
Sat from 6:45am until 8:05am but saw no good setups so no trades today.
Now it's off to work.
Good luck everyone

Re: Topher's Journal
Well that's my first month of trading Aims and it has been a good start. I made 8 trades, 6 winners and 2 losers (75% win rate). This has given me +43pips or 3.3% growth.
The only real issue I have and it will be echoed by many on here is finding the time to trade due to work. I manage to trade every morning from 6:45am until 8:00-9:00am, however, this hasn't presented many setups. In total I have traded 3 full days. I am based from home with my job which should be ideal but ironically I am incredibly busy at present and I am on site with customers 4 days a week for the foreseeable future, therefore, I am planning on taking a few days holiday in February to get a better grip on this system as it offers so much.
It is not only the system that is great but also you guys as well. I want to thank every one of you for the posts you have made on this forum it helps enormously.
Thanks again and lets all have a great February

The Consistent Pursuit of DS1
The thing that makes me money in trading is when I "Objectively Follow my Trading Plan".
I understand that I can't catch all the moves or all the signals but my objective is to catch THE VALID SIGNALS & ONLY the Valid Signals.

Chart time 6:45am to 08:10am. There was a setup at 6:57, however I wasn't 100% so didn't take it.

Re: Topher's Journal
I took the same trade as others did at 8:01. It looked like a good setup everything was in line but it didn't want to play.
I managed to get my SL moved to 3 pips below the trigger candle after which the trade reversed in spectacular style and hit my SL for an 8pip loss.
If it wasn't for this forum I would be beating my self up over this instead I am okay with it as I know I didn't do anything wrong it was just one that didn't work out. I can now go to work content with myself
Thanks
Richard

Re: Topher's Journal
Been sat watching patiently since 6:45am and have just taken my first trade for +17pips. I was a little fortunate as it started to go against me and I got a blue dot, I immediatley went to close the trade and just as I was doing so the price fell sharply and took me into profit. I waiting for a few seconds and then decided to let it run.

Re: Topher's Journal
Well done Richard, I saw this as in the mouth of the alligator on 5 min so declined, especially as I had just paid rent.
