Re: Dave from Sydney's Journal - (The Box Specialist)
Hi Nikita, few reasons...
1) volume of LO;
2) break of M5 AIMS level;
3) the false break down was enough to give the candle pattern for a stepping up M5 AIMS level. I like to trade directly off an M5 AIMS level, but you can't sit and wait for it to completely form, you need to be closely watching the candle patterns to see where these levels may form.
Hope that helps!

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.

When we see steps down it means we should prepare to go up? and vice verca
Who says we cannot predict, you can, thats not a problem, problem is how you react after you've predicted. (c) Immy

Re: Dave from Sydney's Journal - (The Box Specialist)
In a word, yes. This is the essence of S1. Catch the first break of AIMS levels in that particular direction. This means you're getting in at the start of the wave.
First break = S1
Second break = S2
Beyond that you've missed the boat and you're no longer entering at the start of the wave.
If you look at the M5 v M1 comparison though you'll see that M5 is stepping up while M1 is stepping down. So an entry on the break of an upper M1 level is an entry in line with the M5 trend.

By the way, I'm interested to hear what the rest of you think about this. Am I full of shit or does this all make some sense? 
Determine the trend from the M5 stepping/M5 eWave direction and when M1 steps back take the continuation.
