WIN +8 PIPS 6-26-13


US Session: Traded Classic Set Up. Loss 10 PIPS, Loss 6 PIPS, Loss 4 PIPS. Market going sideways.

Asian Session: Traded "Fruit Strategy" on 1 Hour Chart. +10 PIPS exit half position moved SL to BE. +15 PIPS, +5 PIPS

Firstly, I'd like to commend you for keeping and updating your journal. secondly, well done on taking those trades and recording them. You may find by looking at your trades that there is a pattern of early exits. It is common. Let me suggest, that for Seed entries, since gator is always open, choose to stick to either one of the the two exit options a. exit on close of candle above/below green line or b. trail aims. For fruit entries, trail aims until price crosses the gator and gator opens to the opposite side, then you may change your trailing stop to stop close of green or you may simply trail aims on all occassions.

cheers ---- let it run let it run... money is in letting it run! (10-15 pips on H1 will not get you too far)

Thanks Immy,

I will learn from your advise about exits. Let me say I appreciate all the support on this forum with advise on the mind, indicators, the strategies from classic to seed and fruit. Its what everyone needs (the whole package). It is a big help to a guy like me. Before finding your AIM's trading system I was struggling with Bill Williams gator, AO, divergent bar, fractals, MFI, MACD and losing more than winning using the strategies right out of his book which isn't quite enough for a beginner like me in my opinion. I hope to give back by participating as much as possible on this forum.

Cheers,

Dan
