Franky,

I'd hope that the entries are not too different exits can certainly be different. I'll try but cannot promise. I've settled in my new office and I shall be doing a daily digest 5min video (which was the plan) to shed some light on the days progress.

cheers
Immy

Thanks Immy,

Franky

Information - More or Less ?

Unread post by immy »

An Interesting Transcript from Bill Williams Course 1998

Most people who trade, generally trade with less information than they wish they had, so they call their brokers, or read newspaper, or other sources where they can get more information, but
What would happen if you had ALL the Information there is in the world?

If you had all the information about the market in the world, you would be Totally Ambivalent ~x( :-?

Because the Markets are Exactly where they are because there is always

The Same Amount of Reasons to Buy that they are to Sell

If there were more reasons than there were to Sell the market would already have gone up.

So The markets (price) are Exactly where they are because "Thats where they are supposed to be, and they are supposed to be there because that's where they are"


so

Forget about Bullish/Bearish Consensus - Because there really is no such thing
Forget about Overbought/Oversold Concepts

and (and here is a bummer/bumper)

Forget about How Much Money You should risk on each trade or what percentage of your overall money you should trade - (Most Money Management and Ideas Dont Work)

The Only Thing You have to Worry About is How to Want What the Market Wants! (Bill Williams 1998)
What is the Secret of Successful Trading?
The Consistent Pursuit of DS1 :nerd

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.

Now those 2 points ring very true for me. There are tons of Trading "logic" circulated by marketers and Professional traders alike that disconnect these two important points for the learning retail trader.

AIMS has allowed me to do "false data stripping" to get rid of those, so I can want what the markets want, not what "others" think I should want.

Re: Random Pictures of Trades from Several Time Frames

Unread post by immy »

Following are a few pictures of some trades I took yet failed to post in the Signals area. I share here for information and learning purposes. Some may not be extremely good setups yet there are lessons in them.

Starting with GBPCHF
Aims level was too big but took the risk. Trade was taken late in the night. (walking dead)

Two Trades on the Yen Pairs timed on break of AIMS of H1 but since H1 was not an "Initial Breakout Setup in the Direction of a Trend" I went down time frames to find a Setup 1 or 2 in the direction of H1. EUR/JPY timed with Break of AIMS on H1 open alligator to the downside. It is what I call an add on setup for H1 but an Initial Setup 1 on lower Time frames. So it was Setup 1 around 4am candles, 2am UK which is past Batman Returns time so could not trade it. But his Setup 2 was available to take on H1 on its own. it was also a Setup 1 on M5. Below is picture of H1 and M15 but Trade was Setup 1 on M5. You may want to look it up yourself in your MT4.
04-04-2012 10-48-57.png
and similarly GBP/JPY

It was a Setup 1 on H1 and even a Better Setup 1 on M15 in the direction of H1. Now remember if you take a setup on M15 then MM and Trade management must be on that time frame too.

and yes a EUR/GBP setup the other day... Unfortunately could not share PO's in the signals again. I'm going to get there... all new thing require a bit of effort and then it all sets in place. So hopefully will get there soon.

Me and Grant timed this exit very nicely otherwise would have turned into a BE campaign.

Do not try to do big things.

Do small things

All small things become big things...

Do it one by one and it all become big very soon

Do not set a rigid target for the day.

Imagine a lovely outcome yet be flexible.

Don't get frustrated accept all outcomes and imagine better outcomes.

Accept what the market gives you with an Attitude of Gratitude.

Thinking small is what gets Great things done.

"Do Great Things While they are still small

The Sage (Steve) does not attempt anything very big and thus achieve Greatness

Greatness comes from being in the moment here , present, in the now

The Sage (Grant) confronts difficulty but never experience them. This is the idea of thinking Small."

Change from this thought.

Change from Seeing yourself as 'Separate' to Seeing yourself as 'Connected' to everyone and everything (the market including) in the universe.
Our Ego tells us that we are separate that who we are is this body that we have and that everything/everyboy out there is separate from me. This is very very important idea.

That we are all one. All of us emanated fro the same source.

We are all branches of a tree called Humanity.

"A bad man is a good man's job
and a good man is a bad man's teacher"

"Carrying body and soul and embracing the one
can you avoid separation
One who heeds this power
brings the Tao to this very earth"
