Let it be aims trail and nothing else! I have tested all other things. If price has gone to the correct side of the gator, supposing you took a Fruit trade, you may want to instrut hte EA to exit trade on stop close above/below green line. If price has not yet crossed the gator follow the aims levels ... my 2cents worth! ;)

made a mistake on that one. Late entry means I lose instead of BE.

caught wave 5 going down on eurusd this morning. My exit isnt very good but under the circumstances there was no sign the reversal would go this far. How would you guys have handled the exit on the second half of the trade?

I didnt take the fruit because the bar is big and doubt it will have time to reach its TP before the weekend (dont like keeping trades open during weekend).
