(wd) Total overview ! Do you always watch this H1 ?
Any mechanism ( indicator ) to show the HTF lines in M1 ?
Admirable ! How many screens do you have ?

Bettina, i hate flipping various HTF's to take a trade. It gives me decision-freeze.
I prepare the 1H chart before session so all 1H work is then visible on m1 when price gets there. I did not show the fib on overview to de-clutter for forum.
4H, weekly and monthly is also on 1min, but these levels only "appear" on 1m when price gets there for use.

It is very simple Bettina. Big picture to small picture. Locate significant S/R levels as shown above - they attract price like a magnet. The same reason there will frequently be a w5 following a w3/w4. That is why w5's exist, that quick surprise rubberband reach for interested price levels (remember, w3's also contain sub-w5's.

Set target for it if in range of current PA, while monitoring momentum as usual with AIMS. When you see upcoming S/R levels, use technical levels to protect risk. Follow SL with AIMS levels once they are available. This allows enough room to hit that identified significant S/R level as TP.

If momentum fades completely, revise TP or allow SL at aims level to be hit .

I do watch 5min and 15min Ewave structures on another 2 screens, simply to know what type of wave we are in on 1m.

Hi Herbert,

sorry that I cluttered your journal with so many questions. And you answered them all, big thanks for that !
Seems to be a lot of work, to have all those S/R levels updated every morning, but you also get the reward !
I will try to care for them better in future.
Thx again
Bettina

Bettina, that is why i started this thread, not as a journal but for my place of discussions on related trading issues with all.
The lines is an indicator, not the best, there are many freely available. I sent you an email.

I would be VERY interested if Steve one day decides he wants to write such a professional "pay-for-indicator" to compliment his existing arsenal :-B :p
It takes in the morning pretty much 1-2 mins to prepare per currency... (in line with the 10sec or less approach of AIMS) :))

Regards
Herbert
