Thanks Immy and Dave. So far so good - hope I can keep it going. So busy looking at the charts that I forgot to enter my rugby score predictions and while I was busy with that again I miss 15 pips on the EUR/USD. #-o

A pictures with words. While I was at your picture I took trades on UCAD M5, Swissy, M5. filtered EG M5. Filtered AU M1 (damn it) and EU M1. Filtered M5 EJ. All Arrows.

Edit: After posting I find that you have taken those too. Fantastic job. Well Done

Thats perhaps the arrow refresh issue. Steve's working on that little glitch. Meanwhile i suggest keep refreshing your charts every now and then by changing time frame quickly.

I'd say you probably don't need to read more than once what I wrote on your chart. Just stick to what you're doing. You're doing absolutely fantastic. Stay in this zone.

Most people after successfully trading for a period stop doing exactly the things that made them successful in the first place and conclude the strategy has stopped working! This inherent and intrinsic human quality. (if I can call it quality).

This is the Type 1 Structure, too and fro. You lose weight, you put back on, you do something good, you do something bad. To excel you must remain consistent. Consistency does not mean staying stagnant. In fact the best form of consistency is to move faster and faster forward and better and better with a structural incremental up-gradation.

By the law of chaos those who do not excel forward , expand and get better and better and move forward will fail and perish because the universe is not designed to remain still rather to expand. So what is Stillness. Still is the Stillness of mind. The eternal source power of your being. (call it God if you like, zero Point Quantum field, the source or the universe if you like. ) Since it is all connected and one it is still but you grow and exell yet remain still. Paradoxical, perhaps, but that's how I understand the universe, a product of chaos. IMMHO

@Spyros
I see I posted the 15min chart for CHF/JPY, but the trade was done from 5min chart. Arrow was at 14h50 on my 5min chart. My settings are standard, but on the Yen pairs I made close to Zero on AIMS wave "0.006"

@Immy
Thanks Immy. I love this method. My biggest issue is MM. On my account I have made over 6000 pips in a year, but due to poor MM my profit was about $300. Most trades were on gut feel, but I love the discipline that AIMS is bringing to my trading.
