Hi Immy,

thx for your reply. No I really didn't understand - had a bad feeling somehow, but gone !
Arrows : I feel I must learn to look at the alligators and when are they sleeping well and when are they sleeping worse, and not to look at arrows. I feel I must learn to look at the market structure itself and not on numbers ( I removed them at least from the chart ) . Once this is part of my right brain, then numbers and arrows might be a great help to see something faster or more charts in parallel...
Have a good night !
Bettina

Good that the confusion is over. was :-s . But its is common for text based communication to fail to deliver the actual meaning. But atleast we have a way to rephrase adn correct ourselves.

I agree with you. My concept is 1. Understand the 3 Indicator Setup.

The Classic Setup: which focuses on the following thigns.
a. Close to Zero Line,
b. Fresh Cross,
b. Sleeping Alligator,
c. Tight AIMS Levels,
d. Trend Confirmed on 5x higher time frame.

Once you learn to identify the setup, you then start to learnt to use the filters. Here comes the purple, here comes the m5 level close, here comes, H1/m15 levels, here comes daily high low, here comes for some people pivots, and brn's etc. And now The V5 Arrows. It has in-built mechanism to alert you that the higher time fame is trending. But its only an alert. If you did not know how to read a chart, it wont be big help. So we need to learn to understand how the market moves.

Always Remember: At the core of the AIMS Setup is the Classic 3 Indicator Setup. That Setup is in tune with, in synch with the structure of the market. and the rest of the stuff is our filters. We have learned to filter rents and we have turned those concepts into visual indicators e.g. Steve's Multi Fib levels, The Purple line of the AIMS Gator, AIMS Entry Alert V5.1 has filters, AIMS Wave or eWave has in built filters.

So

Step 1. Learn to know the setup, learn to recognise it, learn to trade it, learn to see it happen, learn to see it develop live and second
Step 2. Learn to filter Setups
Step 3. would be learn to maximise your profitability. (this can wait)

Hi,

Immy, thx for your answer.
-----------------------------------
+5.5
-10
-10 on Gu

As for the last two : I exactly new it, that M5 AO was too old and that w3 in a M5 retracement (wc) can't have a nice w5, but since the arrows were so much crying for down, I thouhgt I might be wrong - twice below M15 low.

-12.9 and - 5.6 were longs. I could have avoided them by having the arrows in M5 :))
Added them there now !

Good morning,

Nitin, thx for your comment. Yes, was tough, but I should slowly learn not to trade then !

Sorry for not publishing more yesterday. Don't want to hide rents, but I was really fed up with that stuff.
The first two rents were ok. Could keep them small. It were setups, but I was to slow to book some pips. In the first I took it below M5 level, which was too late.

The next two rents were no setups. They were black dot trades, where I entered after ZL Cross of M1 and M5, but didn't work out in that cfhoppy market. So no longer experiments !

The one on EU was a setup 2, but not a good one. Took it after M1 ZL cross and M5 red arrow, M5 AO going down again, still orange, but ... See the pic of that last one.

Ok, now we have a new morning ( didn't take any black dot trades after ZL cross :))
Have a nice day !
Bettina
