Thanks Immy,

yes, makes a lot of sense.

With that information you'd know that had you taken a trade there you will be looking for exits, at the time of the vertical box on your chart, rather making entries. So with that information you will filter this.

Didn't think about this at all !

Gator was not sleeping

Tight sleeping gators

How true : Flattening is not already sleeping. Perhaps I don't pay enough attention to this.

NB : Did you have a red dot where my pink was ? Or did you trade the pink ?

I think that's a trade which I did take, based on setup 2 (m1) and as an add on in the m5 rules,with an acceptably tight SL, when it fell out the bottom of the m5 Aims box.

Objectively I decided to proceed for a quick scalp, (12 minutes in the end!), based on the weakening market (which wouldn't of course fall forever) and enough other factors to satisfy the rules (AO on m1 was yellow by the time I traded).

Hi Ray,

Thanks for your comment ! Yes I've seen your trade. I didn't take it, because it was 5 of 5 and my AO was not yellow at the time of the dot, but afterwards I doubted whether my doubts were reasonable.

Hi,

I've never seen something like this EU M15 now: Such a big box quite on the top without any smaller normal boxes and straight going down nearly to the big box bottom.
Does it tell anybody something ?

Simple it was NEWS! and all sorts of stuff happen during news time. NEWS = Chaos Influx Points
I consider Open Times and News Times as Chaos Influx Points. Chaos = New Incoming Information!

Hi all,

after a long time of - say learning, one nice 10p trade. 10 was TP , which turned out to be quite exact.
My problems really are - is ist any wonder ?
- lack of discipline
- trading my own beliefs ( like : but now it must go up ! )
- fear after too many rents.

Needed some "new information" and read Bill Williams New Trading Dimensions. So don't be surprised, that you see some of his indies in my charts (mainly M5) . But it's only to watch, no change in AIMS rules.

Since my last 10pips Wednesday had 4 minor rents for me and left me with a daily -1%.
Yesterday my PC decided to introduce some chaos and this new information gave me interesting options like reparing, securing, imaging.. all day .
Today I had 2 trades so far.
GU left me with +1 pip, because my TP 10 became a TP 13 after changing the PO a few times upwards. Hmmh, well, lack of attention, TP would have been hit nicely.

btw interesting Fib structure of that M5 w4 ( at least for a while it looked like to be that )

But the market had reserved that 10 pips for me - around the corner (on EU) - thank you !

Hi all,

had two rents and a mini winner on GU this morning, both stupid, within M5 box and when it really started, my stop was to small.

But fortunately I could compensate with 10p ( TP ) on EU right now ( which could have been much more, anyway ).

Bettina!

GU for me is a no no on m1. Its just too noisey and jumpy! But EJ! yum yum!

Patience and Discipline! we gotta learn to trust the market and let it run (oh yeah tell me about it)_
