None of those wonderful trades today. During London session my platform was incredibly slow or completely down and in the afternonn my Sax had priority. Well, I'm looking forward to V5.1 and tomorrow !

8 Trades today with EURUSD, with together +22,4 Pips or 1,62 % on the account.
I will show the pics later in the evening.
But I had a couple of losses with the cable. That doesn't work as nicely as with the EURO. So I will skip that and concentrate on EUR.

Things I want to remember for me :

1 ) Don't enter directly after a peak. Care also for direction of AIMS Waves, not only the colour.
2 ) Pay attention to higher ( for Long ) Aims levels on the left side !!!
3 ) Don't forget divergence mode
4 ) Is Alli really sleeping or awake to the correct side ?
5 ) Don't trade against purple of M5, if the distance is less than 10 Pips.

Hi all,
here are my trades from yesterday. It was a very good day with 7 Trades, 28.7 Pips or 2,05 %.
But I also did 3 loosers, two of them really stupid. There are still some situations, where I don't know, whether it's a good trade or not.
E.g., do not really know, what was wrong with trade 5 ??? Would enjoy comments from you .

Here are the pics

Have you noticed that all your winning trades (looking at the m5 charts and comparing to m1) were double aims levels! where you too the bigger trade there was Quadruple AIMS level! nicely done! (though strictly speaking that one was not a proper setup, we had a lot of debate in the group here)

Hi Immy,

thanks for posting. Yes I knew, several times I waited for the M5 level, also with the bigger trade : Here A0 was already to high, but only 1 Minute. But well, M5 looked like as if it wanted to go to the round number 1,31, so I dared.

4 trades today with -5.3 Pips or -0,37%. Felt all day a little frustrated, because I missed all better trades. But now I realised that many of the rides had no proper setups. So it's ok for me.

8.2.2012
Two trades in the morning session, both loosers.
Trade 2 was questionable for me :
At the time of the dot, A0 was orange, but afterwards it changed to red. My entry was at the third red A0 candle.
Stays the analysis at dot time always valid or would you avoid a trade, where A0 changes between dot and entry ?

Hi Bettina, Think today is a question of us trying to force trades, , the market is so flat around a 40 pip range all day and 15 pips over last hour. Think its a time to do something else and wait till the market tells us its time to trade

Was a bad and 8-} 8-} day today in terms of concentration and being focussed. I did one fault after the other, wrong typing in the pending order, even a market order, pulled stops where I didn't want to have them....
But I know, my mind was distracted by a problem, though I did my morning pages.
Well, this is the ultimate proof, that I should have stopped trading at all. To learn this, it s "unfortunate", that the day ended up with +12.7 pips and 0,89 %.
Now I will take the pics, that you have something to laugh.
