In this article I’m going to introduce you to a Very Powerful Chaos Trading Indicator we like to iTradeAIMS – The Box Indicator. We will also discuss the 6 ways this indicator can help boost your forex and stocks trading.
Introduction to the BOX
Here I will attempt to give a brief introduction to this amazing indicator that has revolutionised my trading since 2009.
Everything in the universe is energy and energy follows the path of least resistance. When it moves it heavily influenced by a structure.
When energy flows it reacts to the underlying structure. Electricity flows through copper wires easily compared to “my arm”.
A river flows smoothly on flat plains of the land but becomes violent when flowing down a mountain. Why is this? Why does it change its behaviour?
The Science of Chaos Brings us here. Everything in the universe has an internal or underlying structure. That structure is often, but not always, hidden.
The Market has an underlying Unseen Structure. And it can be revealed by using this indicator.TSX:TSL
Anatomy of the Box
The iTradeAIMS Boxes are formed using the high and low of the fractals.
A new AIMS Box will be created whenever price makes a new high or low Fractal .
The bottom of the AIMS Box – the Lower AIMS Level – is created when a low Fractal is formed i.e. the low of a candle is lower than two candles to the left and two candles to the right.
What is the Underlying Structure of the Market?
The underlying structure of the Market is Elliott Wave.
And the Underlying Structure of the Elliott Wave is the Fractals.
This BOX is an indicator based on the Fractals.
The Upper and Lower Levels require a minimum of five bars with the top of the box being the upper Fractal ; the bottom of the box, the lower Fractal
The AIMS Levels are the high and low of the AIMS Box – the upper and lower Fractals.
This indicator, by itself, provided the concept that revolutionised my trading.
