AIMS Entry Alert EA (MT4) — Quickstart

AIMS Entry Alert EA is an automated Expert Advisor designed to execute and backtest Setup 1 (Inside-the-Box Anticipatory) and Setup 2 (Confirmed Fractal Breakout) momentum structures on MetaTrader 4.

Built with direct analytical calculation (CAIMSEntryAlertEngine) for sub-millisecond execution with zero iCustom() overhead, the engine filters trade signals through the Williams Alligator Alignment Gatekeeper and dynamically trails risk along the Gator Blue Line (Jaws).
