AIMS box-level + spread suggestion

Unread post by Herbert »

Hi all.

From the attached pic i normally draw an orange empty box above or below aims box levels to help me get the exact spread to trigger a PO or place a SL.

My suggestion is to have AIMS Box indicator draw an additional empty box above/below in grey. (not visually interfering as shown and highlighted by my black arrows)
In parameters, you can set your desired pip distance...

What do you think about this suggestion? :ymdaydream:
Not a big deal, i am operating fine as is...... :p

Precision and detail

Hi Herbert, extremely good suggestion! I was thinking exactly this kind of feature earlier also. Might be confusing for those who have non-fixed spreads but the feature could be turned off if too confusing.

I actually started this month with a loss couple of hours ago. I sold princess and price hit my SL and dropped like a rock after that. It hit to SL to the pip. Spreads were changing quite a lot and my SL was too tight. I saw it but was not quick enough to correct SL. With iPad everything is more difficult with the UI - like measuring changing spreads and distances. Boxes showing the spreads would have most likely prevented the loss today. Not a big deal but I still would welcome this kind of tweak.

Hey Tomi. For now i use the manual orange boxes with great success. Once one is drawn, i can copy/duplicate it by using Ctrl-Select-Drag. Fast and easy.
I have settled on my broker with 2 pips for Princess (worst-case-scenario).
