But... we cannot stay away  from these super "SPOOKY MARKETS" ... 🎃 

The markets are busy. Spooky or Edgy because of what's happening plus "THE ELECTION".

When traders are scared they get busy. When they get busy the market begins to move.
But the market is dropping ... Lucky for us we can trade both ways. 

The market dropped nearly 2000 points last 10 days. How any of those pips did you catch?

Coronavirus Covid- Crash and Negative Effects on Investment Funds

Watch 10s Elliott Wave count of the DAX 30 All Time 

WATCH VIDEO

The world is in grip of this Pandemic. 

The Covid-19 Coronavirus is spread faster than the fires of Australia. 

It's killing people and scaring the rest of us. I wish you all good health and hope you stay safe.

Meanwhile, the global markets have responded to this calamity in the most predictable fashion. Of course, traders and investors are worried.

The Advantage of Traders over Investors:

Investors, the longer-term investors get a beating during these market conditions. On the flip side, short term traders can make tons of money from these markets.

In fact, we have lost 25% of value in our Children's Fund accounts. Last month my Son's Account was at 38K. Today at 28k. The fund has suffered a 25% drop. But that's not the fault of the fund. The whole world's stocks and funds are losing money. Trillions are getting lost by the hour.



Luckily though, trading the DAX30 daily, we should have recovered more than we have lost. Short term traders MAKE money during crashes. Long term investors lose half their accounts. 

I did a quick analysis of THE DAX30 using the 10s Elliott Wave method. BAD NEWS is always connected with WAVE C. Find out how this pandemic sits within the count of DAX 30.

6 Percent in 6 Minutes - How Trading can be so simple

This really was a beautiful morning. I enjoyed an early morning walk and a beautiful dawn.
The day started with a lovely LOBOT trade, followed by my discretionary pullback trade and then an AWESOME SEED Signal that made 4%.

Then I stepped away only to come back later. Had a quick look and found out that market had completed a 1-5 wave down.

It then created a strong wave 3 up. So I thought, hmmm, could we get a setup 1 here? And we did.

Ganesh was a bit confused about this trade. So he asked, "Immy, I thought we were not supposed to trade when M5 gator was sleeping". This then is the answer to that lovely question. This is how I trade and teach my team mates. :)

Episode 4: The BEST Trading Day of 2019 - The London Report with Immy

Hi

Hope you had a good Thanksgiving Weekend. Maybe you bought a few things during the Black Friday Deals? or maybe one you were one of the lucky ones who got themselves a 50% discount on AIMS premium Members? Oh well, if not, you definitely missed  a chance.

So, today turns out to be the BEST TRADING DAY of this year. I can happily call it a Year. I can happily say, that's it, no more trading this month. This is the end of this year. Because today started with a 200% ROI trade, that was immediately followed by a 400% ROI trade. That means a 2% Profit and 4% profit on 2 trades.

Although usually that's the end of it. Today was not the case. Immediately after the up run, market decided to crash down. That was my cue to get ready for a Hunt signal. BEfore I knew it, there was the HUNT Pattern right in my face.



I took the trade. and BOOM ... another cool Effortless, Stress Free 2%. Remember this trade was completely risk free. Even if I lost 2% on this trade, I'd still be left with 4% profit. So I was sitting at 8% profit.





I decided it was time to make the Daily London Report Video. I did that, and had quick lunch.

And before I knew it, something else was cooking. My little nephew kept saying, "dax seems to be tanking" without any signs of stopping.

That gave me another excuse to have a look. And I remembered something.

The lifelong lesson that goes against the ordinary trader's mindset.

Normal traders are aggressive traders when the market is sideways and leave the screen when market moves.

I knew the chance was there. Selling indices is VERY Easy. You're dealing with LACK of buying. and lack of something requires a LOT of power to fill. that is why Markets crash far more easily than climb.

So here is the Video of the session.


It has been a smashing day on Dax Today. And you will learn a few things in this session. I hope you like Today's Video some interesting stuff I talked about... Me thinks

Including:

1. Erics Question about Whether its a good idea to trade the Nikkei 225 or Japan 225 index.
2. Was it a good setup 1 this morning? and
3. How to use the Hunt Pattern to your advantage and 
4. How I was able to Get 800% ROI Today...

Welcome to Immy's Daily London Open Report Episode #1

Hi,  This is Immy from iTradeAIMS. But I'm guessing you already know that right?

I'm excited and welcome you to my Daily London Report. I used to do this in the past for members only but now It's going to be for everyone.

What is the London Report
So, I have decided to start sending out a daily report of the London Session. In these videos I'll talk about the DAX and The FX charts as well. I will go over the charts and discuss and analyse what happened and what's about to happen.

As you might know we trade The DAX30 during the first two hours of london session.

and What is DAX?
The DAX 30 Stock Market Index (full name the Deutscher Aktien IndeX, which means German Stock Index) consists of 30 large, blue-chip German companies trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Just like the FTSE 100 and S&P500 it is a capitalization-weighted index so it essentially measures the performance of the 30 largest, publicly traded companies in Germany.

It surely is a stronger indication of the strength of the German Economy and investor sentiment towards the German Equities market.
However for us, we don't care about the sentiment etc. What we care about is that it moves. And YOU can make a $500 daily killing on it (when it moves).

And oh Yes, it's not a forex pair but the way it moves, makes it perfect instrument for Setup 1 on the M1 Chart. That is because  its highly volatile, most of the days.

So, I'm going to be sending out these videos, hopefully, on a daily basis and hope you like it and watch it. And please don't forget to comment and hit the like button.

Hope you enjoy it and leave a comment and like. Let me know if you'd like me to talk about something. I'll try to include it in the next video. 

The London Open Show with Immy from iTradeAIMS Ep.3

Hey,

I'm excited to announce that I have started a special London Open Show. woohoo!!!

so, I will be talking about mostly the German 30 or the DAX 30 Monday to Friday. (most probably Mon-Thu). On Friday I probably will send out a weeks review.

So, welcome to episode 3 of THe London Open Show with immy.

Today the market was completely dead. Well, not that dead as it moved a little but the important question here is, that what should a trader do when the market does not move?

The answer to that differentiates good and bad, or rather trained and untrained traders. Experienced or Professional forex traders, if well trained, develop a sense for the market. It's not done all on auto.

You have to go through "deliberate" practice. That is something that the success authors have all agreed upon.

To become good at something you have to do that thing for a certain period of time. But not just doing it without a goal in mind. You will get better as long as you are trying to get better and learn from your mistakes.

Otherwise I've seen people with 30 years of experience been beaten by a total noob who was trying to get good at his game. You gotta work on your game dude!

So in today's 3rd episode of this new series I've started, I talk about how I did NOT trade the Dax today and avoided paying unnecessary losses.

Here is  Episode number 1, 2 and 3.  (episode 3 is Today's Report 28.11.19)

Please Start at Episode 1 Here

Watch Me Trade Live Today 1st of Oct 2019 [DAX 30]

Hi,
So, I found There was a Setup 1 forming on DAX30 so I took the trade. Posted image / signal in my Chatroom and then thought, why not record the session. So below is a Trading Session, Watch Me Trade Live. 

I have not stopped talking for 30 minutes lol so hopefully it should cover some good points.

Here is The Video ... 
Watch Immy Trade Live: You will Learn in this Session: 
1. What is Setup 1
2. What is ATM
3. How to Manage Live Trades with Stress Free Mindset
4. How to remain calm and relaxed during live trades
5. How to move SL to a better location
6. How to re enter the market if need be.



I just managed to record my London Session. The Market did not do much in the beginning so I waited and later drifted away from the chart.

I took a Trade , a Cherry Signal on the AUD/JPY and went away for Breakfast.

I Posted the trade into my chatroom.

here is the image

This AIMS the Hunt Cherry Signal. This is a fantastic 3rd Strategy of AIMS stress free trading. We love trading the Hunt Method.

Anyway the Trade was turned into a Breakeven Trade and later stopped out at BE.

Price moving towards BE level

AJ price hit Break even level ATM Moved SL to BE on Auto

At this time it was time for Breakfast. So knowing ATM is doing the job, I'll hit the breakfast club.
Came back and saw that trade was exited for BE. That is exactly according to plan. so nice one ATM thank you snorm and then I looked at DAX and Found out there was a Setup 1.

One of the EXPECTED AND PLANNED OUTCOME. A BREAKEVEN TRADE. COOL

500 Dollars within 2 Hours of Trading

Its a Bank Holiday in the UK. Sitting relaxed doing nothing? Yes, Indeed. But Germany i.e Europe is not having holiday, they are open. Sat down, laptop literally in my lap. Saw the setup. I had actually not looked at the London Open time. But when I opened and saw market was moving I took the trade.

You can catch a trade like this few times a week. Risk 1% on 25K account and you catch $500 within 2 hrs. Not bad for a bank holiday Monday is it?

DAX 30 Setup 1. Simple Does it.

What happened today 4th of April 2019 [Oranges LEAKED]

So you know we trade the DAX on M1/M5 during the London Session. Everyday.

Here is a little trick that will help you avoid some trades. Right at the London Open you already have one important price zone. Do the following and you'll avoid taking a few lower probability signals.

The market did not want to move today. And that was quite expected. Just look at the H1 chart. Its been rising up for 8 days now.

It was too boring until the White House Leaked the "oranges" report.

I had enough and so I hit the Gym. Then this happened.

The Fractal Geometry of the Market is Amazing. AIMS Setup 1 and AIMS The Hunt

The following 2nd setup, in the sequence, was a lot easier to take this morning.

Clean open gator and nice clean setup 1 on m1. but I was out, just took the Seed. and it went and hit 2R like a joke.

Long time ago one of my friends said, Rober (not mueller), 

"The Chart will stop setting up when its stops moving".

later he said that he never said it, that I made it up and attached it to his name. but that's a different story.

THIS IS SETUP 

The Afternoon Session (US Morning Session)

Right!  so Price went up above the Gator on M5.  but forget that... price broke out of a tight box on m1, in the direction of the m5 chart , that is Upwards... and then it pulled back and created a Seed signal. That's All I wanted.

Right now, at 15 min before NY Equities Open I'm looking at this stuff and I'm thinking, when is it going to crash?

And some Trading Lessons: 

To those who worry, I take the setups that nobody takes or I take the one that does not move, I say just keep taking the setups according to your rules and trade plan. Continue recording your T20's. You will learn how to filter some trades in time. Nothing can beat quality chart time and experience.

... but if you don't take them, worried you might lose. You've lost before you've started.

Take em. if you think its a setup TAKE it
Take em, if it ticks all the boxes , TAKE it.
Take 100 trades, only then you will qualify to make a judgement. You're just an observer before you've actually done it.

Partake in the game then you earn the right to make a judgement.

yes, Sam and I might be able to say, "nah not this setup". but you're new, you can't say that yet. you just look at the rules and TAKE IT. time will teach you ... that's the whole GAME.

meanwhile the Seed is just 5 points away from 2R Profit.

the EASIEST way to trade for me is have my charts m5/m1 split and trade. but it gets boring at times.

• Support Resistance, is Shit,
• Price Action is King is Shit,
• Trend Lines is Shit,

Trading your method based on 3-4 indicators is THE WAY forward.

No matter how many great traders I dug up, spoken to or met in person or found on youtube, they all have some sort of trading system they religiously follow. Take Linda Raschke for instance. She is a discretionary trader yet she has done more modelling on different markets. She follows her method based on a few indicators she's used all her life, specially the 3/10 oscillator.

Whether its on naked charts, charts with indicators, or indicators without a chart.

YOU HAVE to follow your trading rules. and I have given you those. time tested rules. FOLLOW them or STOP. 

It's all about Sticking to the Rules, Following your Plan. Consistency is the Key. Patience and Hard Core Discipline.

The Setup 1 on DOW M1 Later Today 

You saw breakout , strong breakout at NY Open. Wait for Setup 1

How to Trade The DAX M1 - London Session

First Step: Premarket Prep

The H1 chart and its role:

Before I start taking trades on the M1 chart. I need to know what is the market doing as a whole. For that I would look at the D1 chart, have a quick wave analysis. But then drop to hourly chart. That's where analysis begins.

What is the Trend on the Hourly Chart. Is it going up or down. Is it Wave 3 or 5? is it boxed tightly. The hourly chart may not trend on a daily basis. At times its in its respective 4th wave or it has no direction or trend. but at times, its slowly and clearly going towards an "identifiable" measured objective. i.e A TZ1 or a D1 Box high or Low.

DAX30 H1 Chart - Purple box indicate the boxed marked going sideways

e.g. DAX H1 has been trending up during the last 2 days.  But before we look at the last 2 days we have to talk about the 28th of march. That was the sideeways day. Gator was sleeping on h1. and purple was inside the box... totally sideways box.

The 29th of march brought some movement. and after the weekend, it started with a new month new orders new flare for life...

Although it went up and it continues to go up today, it did go through its "dead" period during the london open session. The market WAVE analysis is a powerful way to "understand" the structure and what is the structure of the structure of the structure ?

Now, WE know that eWave is one subjective yet at times quite measurable even objective structure of the market. The WAVE.

That structure has an underlying structure called the Fractal., the BOX, AIMS Box Indicator is the structure of the structure.

but the structure under all this is "ORDERS"
buy and sell orders. and volume of those orders.

When there are more/larger volume of BUY orders, the price starts to rise (in case of na index its the underlying stocks that moves because people are investing in those markets or divesting out of t hose markets).

so on the H1 chart, when we see the market is Trending up, i.e. Gator open to up side, the slope of the lines is up, 3 lines detached from each other, AO is creating a peak, histogram is green above ZL and box is stepping upwards. this means,

1. the buy orders are exceeding the sell order and there is more demand in the market. 
2. this also means that the path of least resistance is up for this moment in time. 
3. and it means that on the lower time frames, there will be "bigger" up moves compared to down moves.

The London Session Today

The market opened with a spike up but that was soon killed by the sellers and market went back to where it broke from. Later the following happened.

the M5 chart complete noise

So right now as I see the market, 3 hrs after the London Open, the Gator on M5 is open, price clearly going up. ONLY THEN do I trade this market in UP direction We were keen on trading the dax today but nothing was setting up. Soon the market boxed itself.

but I want this to happen within my 3 hrs of trading. from LO to 11am uk.
if it does not happen within that period, its fine. i'm ok with that. I'll come back next day. and that is it. e.g. it happened within my trading time yesterday. The following picture shows where we trade the dax on m1. The Gator on M5 is Open, and M1 kept giving us buy signals. H1 was trending up (As a result of this)

Study this chart if you want to understand Fractal Geometry of the Markets 

• I want to know if market is Trending up or down on h1.
• I want to know if market is trending up or down on m5.
• I want to know if there is a setup in that direction on m1.
• and i want that within the First 15 min , then the first hr, then the first 2 hrs of the london session. 

IF it starts to move, I will continue to trade it until i assess that nothing more is left in this market. or I've hit my loss or profit targets .

Do I look for  100% Clarity?

10 years of trading , to date , I have not found absolute clarity if I should take this trade or not, nor have I found absolute confidence about whether it's going this way or that. But do know this,

THINK in terms of 20 TRADES. that's all I know.
Embrace Uncertainty but Quantify It
I don't know the result of this next trade, but I have a good idea of what might happen at the end of the next 20 Trades. [THIS IS A MILLION DOLLAR TRADING SECRET]

Don't think why Steve or Sam is long or short. Think, where is my setup, and whether I should take it or not. its all about YOU.


IS THIS A SETUP? that's my question.

THE DAX Report - 20 March 2019

The morning started with no real momentum.

There was no breakout, not that I'm a big fan of LO breakouts , not anymore. I wait for it to breakout. then I see if its time to trade

While chatting and making fun of @Tomi and @sam market finally started to move. I was aware of it, so was tomi right at the first 1 minute candle. that happened .. rest of the story on the chart below.

The Afternoon Session (NEO)

There was a lovely lovely Hunt Signal followed by a Setup 1 just before NEO

Below step by step picture sof Setup 1 Start to completion #LiveTrade

The arrow without a caption points to AIMS The HUNT Seed Sell Signal. So powerful 

DAX Setup 1 short SL moved to #BE and Trailing AIMS Boxes

DAX was not showing momentum. I was watching DOW and it was dropping but DAX was not. Meaning there was less interest. Exit after the bounce off the levels to the left. Turns out it was a good decision. 

THE DAX m5/M1 charts side by side. This is the AIMS method 

Was I lucky on this trade

Look at this Setup 1 short on The DAX30 M1 chart.

I had a 7 pips stop loss and grabbed 3x profit of 21 points?

Price hits my Target Point and immediately turns around?

Do You think I was lucky?

The fact of the matter is that I was not lucky. Not at all.
My Target or Take profit level was set on the pure AIMS concept of TZ1. (target zone 1)

So I set my take profit level a couple of points above the TZ1 indication.

Take Profits on Friday - Swing Trading

I trade the EU GU UJ and Gold on the Hourly Time Frame.

That is my bit of Swing trading.

DAX was supposedly going into a Wave 5 but ...
[Click to Enlarge]

I'm busy trading the DAX on the M1 chart but from time to time, I check these H1 charts. H1 chart does not really need checking every hour. You check them the night before and in the morning pre London Open. Usually if it's going to set-up for something, You will see it before London Open.

I usually only go for trend breakouts (THE SETUP1 and APPLE Method) for FX charts. I like the Hourly Time Frame for FX (currencies.)

Below is an Example of an #AIMS Apple Initial Entry following by BOX Breakout Add on. on #EURUSD

Clearly a Downtrend. A lovely Apple within a Sideways Wave 4. 

Took first Apple and added below box.

Mistake: should have exited on fruit high before end of the week since it was Friday. It was my intention but literally forgot. I remember going "oops" while sitting with wife in the bedroom past 10 pm uk on Friday.

I said, "I might have left the EU trades running". But I had the SL set at the Entry level of the box breakout add on which was hit on Monday.

Mistakes like these could some times cost some money.

On this occasion I lost profit but luckily no huge gaps over the weekend

The Market is Generous

The Indices are going wild. There is high volatility and we, the AIMSters love volatility.

Dow Jones Index is really going wild with 800 points up and down days.

Meanwhile our favourite DAX30 tries to mimic the BIG Dow giving us plenty of setups.

Below, is a picture of AIMS The Fruit method.

The Market is Generous but are YOU available? 

Sam got his share during london open hours, Jozef waited and traded the breakout during trending markets. I got in even later than that and ended up with 2 scalps and then reversal of the uptrend.
