1) are these setups?
2) shouldn't there be a dot in the two areas on my chart?
3) also, shouldn't there be a pending long setup right now (10.31 M1 eur/usd long)?
see my chart:
+ the areas circled are where lines are close together, almost all inside the box
+ AO is orange and going stronger upwards
+ with break of aimslevel should be longs yes?
should these be setups?

1. Yes the second one was a better Setup. But I've seen better ones. I traded this with add ons while Grant did not take.
2. There would be a Black Dot if purple filter is set to true. Just because the purple was out of AIMS level (look to the right where it ends) only just but for me it was a Setup to go long. You seem to be using AIMS Entry Alert V5.0. I guess you need to use the V5.1 Entry Alert as well. B-)
3. There was a PO for all of us here, which got cancelled a few bars later.
In terms of understand the Setup, i think you're getting there. And I see that you're committed Well Done, it appears that you're nearly there.
btw, there was an Anti Trend Short setup just after that. Red Dot and puple inside.

Re: should these be setups?
HI Evil,
to show you what i was seeing at that time please see the attached pic... As Imran said we use the alert version 5.1 so my dots are slightly different to yours
to answer your questions :
1. If you traded the Frankfurt Open then yes this is a set up 1 trade (red arrow on my chart). your dot comes a couple candles later as a set up 2 so a new aims is needed and when it appears the AO is too old so no trade.
2. i have a black cross (white arrow on my pic) so i said no trade as it is against the purple line and we had ECB Draghi scheduled to speak within 10 mins. That being said it did turn into a set up 2 as shown by your green dot so a long could have been taken like Imran said.
3. Again as Imran said we all had a PO but it was not triggered.
hope this helps

Re: should these be setups?
ah i see, well i am with you on the logic Grant. however i must say that i feel like the last part for me is that it is a matter of interpretation. although as long as i think almost similar to the pro guys i should be safe i guess. getting there
