Hi Mike, Only thing that kept me out of that trade was that although AO was close to zero , it had not actually crossed the zero line. Which for me was a stale signal. I had that mistake on a trade yesterday and cost me ten pips

Hi Grant, Michael

Thanks for your input, having looked at it again I'm also not sure the alligator was in the right setup for a trade either.

Still up for the month and learning loads thanks to this site.

Cheers

3rd trade of the day 5pips - possibly should have been more, good entry looking for wave 5 but maybe should have exited at 5 min high, also had Alpari requote when trying to close manually
which cost me a couple of pips

Still back positive for the day.

Comments as always welcome as I try to master this excellent system.

Cheers

Mike

NIce tradingh Mike,

Sometimes targets work, sometimes the exit is made to look silly....

I like base hits with compounding...

rinse and repeat mate

Trade 4 today - 7 pips
Entry was a break of 5 min level which had held for a while, just after US news, traded to the grey line.

Felt really relaxed taking this trade.

Thanks for everyones helpful comments it really does help.
