Morning,

For the h1 charts the entries are exactly the same as the m1. So the main question i ask is "would i trade this set up on the m1?"

The trade management is different and i have attached my rules. They are same rules as m1 but with pip values that better suit the h1 charts...

hope this helps

afternoon everyone,

managed to make it home just before the Dow opened so have sat and tried to trade for a couple of hours... As you will see the pesky purple line was doing its job so no more trades for me today.

dot analysis attached

evening Franky,

To be honest it is brand new to me...

It has taken a long time (18months or so) to get the AIMS system to where we are now, during which time Imran and i solely focused on the EU m1 chart...

Now we have the EU nicely ticking over on m1 i have more time now to look at other pairs/time frames to trade. So in December i tried to trade AU on the m1 along side EU but found that i couldnt concentrate long enough for 2 m1 charts and the spread of AU didnt make making pips on the m1 easy.... So i tried m5 but again spread and concentration issues meant i wasnt trading the EU as i should have been...

Thus coming into this year i thought why not try the h1 charts and so far so good, it doesnt need me to chart watch 24/5 and it doesnt interfere with the EU m1 trading. Although taking an EU h1 long and m1 short at the same time was amusing.

So since January i have had 6 trades form the pairs i watch (AU EU GU UJ UCHF EJ), risking 0.5% per the SLs in the doc i posted, 3 wins, 1 full loss and 2 partial losses for a gain of 3.75%.

Once i get my arse in gear i will post trades as i take them in the relevant thread on here.

Hope this helps

Grant, I really do appreciate the time and thought you put into your posts on this forum. The content of your journal is immeasurable to the learning of aims (and indeed trading).

I hope that your constant willingness to share results in suitable karma for you.

Cheers Grant,
Just wondering, on the 1hr timeframe is your stop loss just outside the aims box with a maximum of 40 pips or if the box is larger do you still trade it or decline the trade.

Humpha
Many thanks.

Morning

Its still a work in progress to be honest. We know that the system entries and exits work its all about fine tuning the pip values now to suit the h1 TF.

If the AIMS is bigger than the 40/45 pips then i will decline and wait for a better set up

I came to 40 pips by literally multiplying the m1 pip figures by 3. disaster of 13 on m1 is 39 on h1 etc

After 20 trades i will reassess how the figures have fared and adjust accordingly

cheers
