    • Though the entry was above all three lines, Alligator was not completely inside the AIMS-Box [DS = 0].
Yep, my first thoughts as soon as I saw the pic. Maybe you were too eager to not "miss the next move". betting on the future...

In a nutshell, yes. I'm still too impatient sometimes.

Trade campaign 13/1

Summary
  • Pair: USD/JPY
    Entry: Setup 1
    Risk: 34.8 P + 34.8 P = 69.6 P
    Exit: Box trail/Box trail
    Result: - 19.1 P - 19.1 P = - 38.2 P, - 0.54 R - 0.54 R = - 1.08 R
    DS: 1 [11/13]
About the campaign
  • Pre-trade remarks:
    • H1, VL (1): Setup 1 into Wave 5 up
    • H1, HL (1): 1:1 for the first Entry
    • H1, HL (2): TZ1
    • H1, Rec (1): Upper AIMS-Box levels of [H4] and [D1]
    • H4, VL (1): Price within a Wave 5 up
  • Post-trade remarks:
    • The end of Wave 3 on [H1] corresponded with the upper AIMS-Box levels of [H4] and [D1].
      So, I assumed some bigger resistence there, which made this campaign quite risky.
      On the other hand, if price would have broken through this, it could have gone easily a long way up.
      Worth trying, as all conditions fitted my TP.

Trade campaign 14/1

Summary
  • Pair: AUD/USD
    Entry: Setup 1
    Risk: 37.4 P + 37.4 P = 74.8 P
    Exit: Box trail/Box trail
    Result: - 3.6 P - 3.6 P = - 7.2 P, - 0.1 R - 0.1 R = - 0.2 R
    DS: 0 [11/14]
About the campaign
  • Pre-trade remarks:
    • H1, VL (1): Setup 1 into Wave 5 down
    • H1, HL (1): 1:1 for the first Entry
    • H1, HL (2): TZ1
    • H4, VL (1): Price within a Wave 3 down
  • Post-trade remarks:
    • I forgot to disable ATM's Box trail during Asian Session [DS = 0].
      Otherwise, SL would have been moved above the candle at [H1, VL (2)] after FO.
      The entry spot itself was okay.
