What Entry Alert EA does
AIMS Entry Alert EA trades the Entry Alert signals: a close crossing the Gator Lips, with the fractal box on the trend side of the Purple line. It only takes the signal when the Gator is awake in the same direction.
Setup 1 and Setup 2
Setup 1: the signal candle stays inside the previous fractal box. Setup 2: it breaks out of the box. Each can be switched on or off.
Blue Line Stop
The stop loss starts 1 pip beyond the Gator Jaws (Blue line) and follows it, forward only, for as long as the trade is open.
Lips Exit in Profit
From the bar after entry, the trade closes when a candle closes across the Lips while its net profit (after swap and commission) is positive.
How to trade Entry Alert EA
Attach and License
Attach the EA to the chart of the symbol you want to trade and enter your Serial Key in Inputs. Until then the chart shows LOCKED and no orders are placed.
Choose the Setups
Keep both setups on, or trade only Setup 1 (inside the box) or only Setup 2 (breakout).
Set Risk and Session
Choose risk % or a fixed lot, and the session window in server time. New entries only happen inside the session.
Let It Manage
The EA holds one trade at a time. Pending stops expire after 2 bars and are deleted if the Gator stops supporting their side.
Setups and chart grammar
The EA checks for a signal once per closed bar. It trails the stop on every tick.
| Setup | Context | What the EA sees | Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy Stop | Gator awake bullish: Lips > Teeth > Jaws; Purple line below the fractal box | Close crosses above the Lips (Setup 1 inside the box, Setup 2 above it) | Buy Stop 1 pip above the signal candle high, stop loss 1 pip below the Blue line |
| Sell Stop | Gator awake bearish: Lips < Teeth < Jaws; Purple line above the fractal box | Close crosses below the Lips (Setup 1 inside the box, Setup 2 below it) | Sell Stop 1 pip below the signal candle low, stop loss above the Blue line |
| Cancel | Pending stop open | 2 bars pass, the Gator leaves that direction, or an opposite signal appears | Delete the pending stop |
| Exit | Trade open | Blue line stop hit, or a close across the Lips in net profit | Close the trade |
Setup 1 or 2 buy with the Gator awake bullish.
Setup 1 or 2 sell with the Gator awake bearish.
Gator lines intertwined: no new entries.
No valid Serial Key: no orders, no management.
