Good Morning,
I am seeing a lot of times when the AIMS boxes are repainting after my pending order has been triggered. Is this normal and if it is not, how do I prevent it from occurring? Thanks for your help.

Re: AIMS boxes repainting
Hi Immy, not sure how it's possible to show something that has disappeared, i.e. the box was there on 3 different occasions this morning. I set pending orders, the orders got executed, and then the boxes changed sizes. Once the boxes changed, the pending orders (which now were our entry points) were no longer outside the boxes. Thanks for your help.

Re: AIMS boxes repainting
Sounds like a normal behavior to me: I suppose a new upper/lower AIMS level was created, hence the size of the AIMS box changed.
For a detailed explanation, you should look at The Setup e-book, pages 40 ff.

Re: AIMS boxes repainting
Sees to me that reading the chapter on AIMS Indicators specifically AIMS Box would help you understand why a box is formed. If you knew how an AIMS Box high and low are calculated you won't consider them as repaints.PayitForward wrote:Hi Immy, not sure how it's possible to show something that has disappeared, i.e. the box was there on 3 different occasions this morning.

ps: you could have taken a snap of your chart and marked with an arrow e.g. bow was here but then repainted to here.

Re: AIMS boxes repainting
I took your suggestion and read the entire set-up e-book for what i think was the 9th time. I still have one small question if you would be so kind as to indulge me. On page you write: "When you see an AIMS box wait for one more candle to close before considering it a confirmed AIMS Box." Yet throughout the e-book you continuously stress the importance of using/placing pending (as opposed to market) orders. (One pip plus spread for a buy, and one pip below AIMS Box for a sell.) Forgive me for asking but how can one accomplish both of these tasks simultaneously especially in a fast trending market? My experience yesterday (on 3 separate occasions) would not have allowed me to do both unless there is something more I still don't understand. Thanks very much for your guidance.

Re: AIMS boxes repainting
Hi
We were using AIMS Indicators package v2.1 at the time of writing the setup ebook. later we updated the indicators (thank you Snorm). It was a major upgrade. We had the following post (link) next to the download section but have recently removed it. http://www.itradeaims.net/forum/viewtop ... f=50&t=501 . this explains the changes. you'd see under AIMS box par 4 about the tentative aims level.
you still failed to show us a picture of your chart. so that I can see what you are on about!
cheers

Re: AIMS boxes repainting
My apologies if I offended your fair sense of play by saying that the AIMS boxes repainted.
I am simply asking (very friendly) if there is a solution to my inquiry. Originally I stated: I set pending orders, the orders got executed, and then the boxes changed sizes. Once the boxes changed, the pending orders (which now were our entry points) were no longer outside the boxes.
Your first reply was: AIMS Box NEVER repaints! Show us a picture please ...
(If I chose the wrong word (repaint) again I apologize. I am simply trying to ascertain (in a very friendly manner) if there is a solution/change to my settings that I can make to avoid this happening again.)
So I asked if there was a solution. You replied: Sounds like a normal behavior to me: I suppose a new upper/lower AIMS level was created, hence the size of the AIMS box changed.
You also suggested I reread the manual which I did for the 9th and 10th time. On PP 42 it states that the box is comprised of 5 candles, etc. I understand all that.
I then asked if there is a simple solution to changing the settings so that this did not occur again. You directed me to reread the e-book which I did twice more (now a total of 10X.) I then stated:
On page 42, you write: "When you see an AIMS box wait for one more candle to close before considering it a confirmed AIMS Box." Yet throughout the e-book you continuously stress the importance of using/placing pending (as opposed to market) orders. (One pip plus spread for a buy, and one pip below AIMS Box for a sell.) Forgive me for asking but how can one accomplish both of these tasks simultaneously especially in a fast trending market? My experience yesterday (on 3 separate occasions) would not have allowed me to do both unless there is something more I still don't understand.

We had the following post (link) next to the download section but have recently removed it. viewtopic.php?f=50&t=501 . this explains the changes. you'd see under AIMS box par 4 about the tentative aims level.
And you have asked that I post pictures of the incident that began this conversation. I wrote a couple of times: "not sure how it's possible to show something that has disappeared, i.e. the box was there on 3 different occasions this morning. I set pending orders, the orders got executed, and then the boxes changed sizes. Once the boxes changed, the pending orders (which now were our entry points) were no longer outside the boxes.
As much as I would like to accommodate your request, I simply can not now create an image of something that no longer exists. You yourself stated: Sounds like a normal behavior to me: I suppose a new upper/lower AIMS level was created, hence the size of the AIMS box changed.
If it changed (which it did) I can not create an image (could have then, but not now) of something that changed.
I am asking a very simple question. Is there a change in the settings that I can make to prevent this from occurring? If there is not, please simply say so. If there is, would you kindly direct me to the source or explain how this can be accomplished.
Thanks very much for your assistance.

Re: AIMS boxes repainting
Sorry to intervene but I think, it was intended, if you're using AIMS box indicator V2.1 for any reason (where, I think, the repainting issue exists), to upgrade to the lates version of AIMS-box indicator v5.1 which is included in the "AIMS The Setup V5.1" package and can be downloaded here: http://www.itradeaims.net/forum/viewtop ... f=50&t=501
Maybe it can help ;-)

Re: AIMS boxes repainting
I have just landed in another part of the world. and I still wait for a picture of your chart. if you post the picture or tell me which version you're using I might be able to help you. You can take a picture and point to a spot where you saw a level and write something like AIMS box level was here, and then changed from here to here. meanwhile i'll also see which version of aims box you're using. I don't know if you aims box v5.1 or aims levels v2.1? I'm only making assumptions so it would be better you telll me by sharing a snapshot of your screen. or the indicators window.zlabis wrote:Sorry to intervene but I think, it was intended, if you're using AIMS box indicator V2.1 for any reason (where, I think, the repainting issue exists), to upgrade to the lates version of AIMS-box indicator v5.1 which is included in the "AIMS The Setup V5.1" package and can be downloaded here: http://www.itradeaims.net/forum/viewtop ... f=50&t=501
