Morning James,

When saying AO too old i mean there have been too many bars since the cross of the 0 line, so the initial momentum of the move is lost...

the next question is "how many bars is too many", well thats a tough one but usually i like less than 6-10.....

hope that helps

Hi Grant

Question about how to identify when actually trading against the purple line. When red dot appears in the candle above the purple line, I consider it as against purple line situation.....but can we take the trade if pending order would still be under the purple line and therefore actual trade would be away from it?

Kind regards
Tomi

HI Tomi

AIMS Entry Alert V5.1 is designed to take into account such situations. if the purple is also inside current upper and lower aims level the dot will appear as coloured dot. So if you have, by default, purple turned on, and when you see a red or blue dot, it means the purple is inside current aims levels adn can be traded. Whats more important here is to check the rest of the conditions for creating a Setup as well as over all trend.

cheers

Hi All,

it was unfortunately another slow week EU m1 wise for me, only 4 trades producing 5 pips (0.38%).

So how to make the time get trading more profitable??

the only way i can see is to watch more pairs on m1, so from Monday i will be watching UJ and GU alongside EU. I will still keep the dot analysis going for the EU

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE IF YOU ARE NEW TO EITHER TRADING OR AIMS ONLY TRADE EU

lets hope i can keep a decent level of concentration, if i cant then i will revert back to just EU.

many pips to you all
