That is one hell of a start you have made there well done.
I like yourself had traded forex for a few years before coming across Aims. To me it is that final piece of the jigsaw. From your resuls so far it looks like Aims combined with your 3 years of forex experience is paying off nicely.

Hi Richard

Thanks - I hope it stays this way. Discipline is my big thing, but I'm working hard on fixing it.

So my wife handed in her resignation at work - she wants to spend more time with me and the kids. We can afford for her not to work, but it would be nice to replace her income by being a successful forex trader. I would like to earn her salary($2000) through forex monthly, in a years time. Now I will have to be extra sure when I place my trades - no more cowboy stuff! Watch this space to see how I do.

Good luck Jacques
There is nothing like a good goal to focus on.

Hi Jacques, chin up! Can I ask how many pips below the aims box do you set your PO when going short? It looks quite close on that trade there, I always set mine at 3 pips below because I like to see the bid and ask likes actually break the aims box. It tends to stop me getting just tagged in to a trade. Maybe something for you to think about if you find yourself getting tagged in too often. cheers =)

Hi Tom

I set it 1 pip below, but I like your idea. Going to give it a try.

Paid 5 pips rent on this one. Should have waited for the London open and took the sell entry. Running around getting washing from the line cause we have gale force winds and missed the entry on GBP/USD 5 min. :((
