Time frames relations

In Bold: Immy's Reply to Questions.
First Lets be Clear we trade M1 and M5 simultaneously.

This is our edge. We take trend direction from M5. Trust me having the two side by side and not having them create a hell of a difference. It helps you appreciate the over all trend and places where you should or not trade.

Another most important thing is the M5 AIMS Levels.
I never trade into an m5 aims level if the alligator on m5 is sleeping. in that case i either 1. wait for alligator to break on m5 or 2. I would take a setup on m1 which is closer to or the same level as m5 aims level that breaks outside the alligator's mouth. e..g If you have a setup 1 on m5 and entry has not been triggered, and during that time there is a setup on m1 while the m5 setup has still not broke the frist aims level out of sleeping alligaor's mouth you may be trading in to NON-Trending choppy markets. So when we take a setup on m1 we always want to know what is the m5 doing. if m5 alligator is open and we get a setup 1 on m1 in that direction we take it with confidence.

Q. You say at the AIMsigator section that alligator is the compass and the purple line is the filter.
A. Alligator is the compass in that it shows the direction of the trend on the time frame you display it on
The purple is a filter which means if you have a setup on m1 with all the rules correct but setup tells you to trade in the direction of purple we FILTER that trade, we dont take it

Q. Other place you explaine how to put 1 min and 5 min time frames beside each other, and also say that either we trade M1 in the direction of M5, or we trade M5 with entries on M1.
A. I said you can put it both ways. Now although we trade ONLY m1 but we take so much in formation from M5 that we can say that We Trarde M5 but make entries on m1, or we trade M1 but only in the direction of m5. Now the question is how do we establish the direction of M5? We USE OUR COMPASS. if price is above all the three lines and broke out of aims and alligator mouth is open up, Trend on M5 is UP if Alligator mouth is open to down side, price is going down and AO of m5 is red trend is down. Then you also have to ask how LONG has it been since the trend has been down. Has the AO peaks on m5? has it diverged? etc etc. It was supposed to be a funny but meaningful statement

Q.If we have anyway the purple showing the 5 times higher timeframe and filtering our trades then why do we need the second time frame chart?
A.Many have asked and done this in the near past, but we have found and firmly established that trading like is OUR EDGE. If you look at Grants Flow chart you will see how important Entry Level and M5 AIMS levels are. I have the same take on those levels. I put it this way
When Alligator on m5 is open and price is trending, its ok to take inner aims levels on M1
When alligator on m5 is sleeping its best to take only outer most levels that is match entries with m5 levels but keeping in mind that when you do so you should make sure you exit is still close. e.g. if your exit point, e.g. green/red line (off a sleeping alligator) is over 10 pips , on m1, you may be taking too big a risk.

Q.Also what does that mean that we trade the M1 in the direction of M5?Direction of M5 is shown by purple..?
A. as above
Sorry if the question is stupid, i need to understand.
No Question is Silly - Fire away when ever you feel like!

Just one suggestion! Read everything + Watch all the videos + Join the Trading room. This is a great combination! I have seen people pick up the setup within 10 minutes and for other it took weeks but most get it eventually. Joining trading room with a MOUTH TO SPEAK WITH AND a MIC TO SPEAK IN TO is usually the best way to join the trading room and very beneficial. (hug) :x \:D/

Yeah! That was a mental exercise! I kept thinking, was this guy answering his own questions with Immy's words?! How come? Only after reading half of that post I started to realize that I should probably consider bold letters as authentic Immy's replies. Your message below confirmed that!
