Hi Tony

I seldom comment on trades but that is such a great looking setup. Fantastic W4 and hitting TZ1 with confluence at previous low. Shame it only had 5 pips, for such a high probability trade, but great going for getting it. That is definitely one to post on the Visualisation of Positive Trades section http://www.itradeaims.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=70" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

One of those a day, even at 5 pips, is enough to make billionaires (wd)
All the best for more ...

Thanks for the comments gents, -2 pip rent here. Wasn't correct set up so set po below the 5min level. Thought if it breaks it may go and AO was orange. Gave myself a quick slap to the head for breaking the rules - NEXT

1 HR trade GBP/USD set up was possible wave 5 down and confirmed with 4hr chart in down wave. I have had limited time to trade lately so have been quite picky, hence limited journal entries. I am keen to put a lot more discipline into the 1hr / 4hr charts. I have seen many 1 hr set ups succeed trading the break of the 1hr aims box and reach the 4hr high or low. I will start to set my tp within this range and adjust my lot size to gain my 1%. Below is +29 pips, .6%. The trade still kept going but I was happy I set my target and got out.

Very Well Done... Unfortunately I had analysed it and slightly over analysed it, found that H4 trend was down but Wave was old so hesitate, and probably the lefty got the better of me and I found at that time that Gator lines were open to upside. I choose not to trade only to see it drop like crazy. So I went on lower time frames later on got some pips out of it but missed H1. Well Done.

Read Snorms 5 wave corrective pattern in the advanced section and then scrolled through the charts to find this little gem unrolling before my eyes - AWESOME, nailed the TZ1 to the pip (wd)

Great ! I didn't dare to take it, because M5 Alli was not really open south, at least not in the beginning, but good catch !

Bettina,
I didn't get the trade either but watched it unfold. It was slightly surreal after reading about the set up not 5 minutes before. Many pips to you.
