Hello All,
My first post on here, and I remain in demo mode until I learn these set ups. BTW I am only looking at the 1hr set ups.
Just a quick question. For set up one the rules state there must be a break of an aims level. My question is this:
Say you see a red, or blue dot. Must one see a fresh aims level after this dot to be broken, or can the fractal be prior to the formation of the dot? For example 2 1hr bars prior? I also would like to ask whether the first cross of the AO to the other side must coincide with the break of aims?
It would also be great to learn of any others who trade the longer time frames.
Many thanks to all of you, you are an amazing community! :-bd (wd)

Re: Fresh Aims Levels
Welcome to AIMS Stress Free Trading!
Firstly I'd recommend starting your own journal. While you are on demo you can take pics of each and every trade and share it here. We may be able to see and comment and may be even guide to the right path. Its a great learning tool Trust me!
Be it H1 D1 or M1 the rules of engagement are the same. It is the fractal geometry that leads the concept of this trading. If a strategy is not trade-able on all time frames its probably going to fail soon. Because if hats the case its not in line with the structure of the market.
If the alligator is sleeping you dont need another fresh aims level. if the Alligator is open and you have dot, I call that an add on trade for that if you are adding, which i'm sure you are not, you can take the next aims level but if taking a trade and its a setup 2 then you need to wait for fresh aims level.
Note: if the dot candle breaks the fractal out of a sleeping alligator in that case since the dot has already broken an aims level we wait for a fresh aims level. if its still inside aims we can take any aims level of our choice.
I hope it makes sense

ps: its much easier to explain over a live call with voice and charts!
