Thanks in advance John.
ref the 'what's new' • Black dot (well, it’s actually a diamond but you can change this) – a signal where Purple is on the wrong side of the AIMS Box (not wrong side of price as in V5). So, those dots were valid at the time.
You will get buy/sell alerts where price is bouncing around the green line - hope it's not too annoying when that happens but hopefully it won't be too often.
cheers

That's one thing I didn't do a colour option for Humpha - am I useless or what!!!humpha wrote:Steve,
In the entry indicator the dot times are in black, which one do we change for the dot time colour if you trade with a black background, there are 3 to choose from. Thought I'd post the question for all black background traders. Many thanks.
Tony
What colour would you like?

Is there any parameter to filter the dots when the purple line against the price?

Re: What’s new in V5.1 ?
Hi Yonkuro
you're very welcome.
There isn't a price-wrong-side-of-purple-filter but there is good reason for that ...
If Purple is inside AIMS, at the time of the buy/sell alert, you place PO outside AIMS and, therefore, naturally on the right side of Purple should the PO be filled. Having a Price-filtered-Purple, you can miss out on a lot of 'Alligator sleeping' trades that generate good buy/sells alerts. So AIMS-filtered-Purple, should generate some good Setup 1 trades.
09:04 Alpari time (GMT+1) today, is a great example of where this logic really worked for us.
cheers

Re: DOWNLOAD: AIMS V5.1 Upgrade
HI Immy.
Unsure as to whether I delete all 5.0 files and then upload 5.1. (note Bruce's post above) I have done this on templates but only got a m1 template and a m5 template. Which one should be used for higher TFs, or do I revert to 5.0 as template for higher TFs?

it's up to you whether or not you delete the old files - the new ones won't clash but if you like to remove clutter, then by all means delete the oldies.
I'd suggest starting with the new M5 template, for the highter TFs, then adjust the settings to suit and create new templates.

Re: DOWNLOAD: AIMS V5.1 Upgrade
Hi
Please note that the V5 and V5.1 is specifically designed for M1/M5 EUR/USD Strategy. I have not yet tested thoroughly the settings for higher time frames. Meanwhile please use V2.1 for higher time frames. We should come up with a higher time frame template very soon.
cheers

What is the Secret of Successful Trading?
The Consistent Pursuit of DS1
The thing that makes me money in trading is when I "Objectively Follow my Trading Plan".
I understand that I can't catch all the moves or all the signals but my objective is to catch THE VALID SIGNALS & ONLY the Valid Signals.

What colour would you like?
Your definitely not useless champ. It's not that important, I thought I would ask as I like comparing trades against Grant's entries and other traders. I thought one of the 3 black colour options in the indy properties may of been it that's why I asked. Any colour that would stand out against black and grey backgrounds is ideal. You blokes have more than delivered enough since I bought AIMS. Many pips to all of you. :-bd
