AIMS Box fractal geometry

Replay the completed candles, inspect their values, then practise comparing a close with a supplied boundary. These illustrations explain pivot geometry; they do not calculate a product signal or establish Setup 1 eligibility.

AIMS Box: Five-Bar Fractal Trainer

Interactive Lesson

Inspect each candidate with two completed neighbours on both sides. The first pivot confirms after candle 5; the second after candle 8. This is designed geometry, not calculated Box output.

Bullish Box: two confirmed pivots

Show confirmed reference boundaries

First upper boundary: 70
Second lower boundary: 40
Supplied range after both confirmations

Completed candles9 / 9 completed candles

Boundary comparison: Candle 9 closes at 75, above 70. This geometric close does not establish filters, an alert or a profitable outcome.

What was known

After candle 2: Two completed candles are available, but no candidate pivot is shown yet.
After candle 3: Candle 3 reaches 70. Two completed older neighbours are available; two newer neighbours are still needed.
After candle 5: Candles 4 and 5 complete the five-bar window around candle 3. The upper pivot at 70 is now confirmed in this geometry.
After candle 6: Candle 6 reaches 40. Two completed older neighbours are available; two newer neighbours are still needed.
After candle 8: Candles 7 and 8 complete the window around candle 6. Both supplied boundaries 40 and 70 are now available.
After candle 9: Candle 9 closes at 75, above 70. This geometric close does not establish filters, an alert or a profitable outcome.

Candles: blue closes at or above the open; red closes below the open.

Candle 9 closes at 75, above 70. This geometric close does not establish filters, an alert or a profitable outcome.

Each pivot needs two completed neighbours on both sides. The two pivots confirm at different times; the illustration does not calculate filters, risk targets or a trade grade.

Candle data and roles

Illustrative OHLC values in candle order
Candle	Open	High	Low	Close	Role
1	50	55	48	53	Completed candle; no confirmed pivot yet
2	53	60	50	58	Two completed neighbours; no candidate pivot yet
3	58	70	54	62	Candidate upper pivot at 70; two newer candles are still needed
4	62	64	48	52	First newer neighbour is complete
5	52	58	44	48	Second newer neighbour confirms the first upper pivot at 70
6	48	54	40	45	Candidate lower pivot at 40; two newer candles are still needed
7	45	56	43	52	First newer neighbour of the second candidate is complete
8	52	60	46	57	Second newer neighbour confirms the lower pivot at 40
9	57	79	56	75	Close 75 is above the supplied upper boundary 70

Chart rendered with TradingView Lightweight Charts™.

Each five-bar pivot needs two completed neighbours on each side. The pair is available only after both separate confirmations. A later close beyond a boundary does not establish filters, alerts or an entry.
