Nice trade John, I wasn't quick enough to get my order placed :((

Looking at your chart what was your entry price looks to be below the aims level?

Cheers

Hi John,

Wd on your trade, dot candle broke AIMS so i saw it as a set up 2 so like Mike i waited for the next AIMS level and like Mike Alapari refused my PO as price moved too quickly.... My screens were nearly through a window..... lol

Hi

When I placed the pending order the top Aims level was about 1.2790 and the alligator looked like it was asleep to me.
I tried to enter the pending order but would not be accepted until the price dropped below my pending order level which happened a few seconds later on the next candle.

Is this against the rules?

HI JOhn,

technically if your looking at the rules then we always enter on a break of an AIMS level, it shows that there is momentum in the direction of our trade.

looking at your chart, the black dot at 1008 (UK) broke an AIMS level so technically we should look for a set up 2. With SU2 we wait for a fresh aims level which appeared 2 candles later but wasn't confirmed until 1012 (UK) candle closed.

Mike and i tried to put a PO once it closed above the AIMS level at 2796 but for me Alpari wouldn't accept it as price had moved too quickly..

hope this helps
