AIMS The Fruit Indicator

What AIMS The Fruit does

Traders often get trapped buying into trend climaxes or failing to bank profits before an aggressive retracement begins. AIMS The Fruit solves this by detecting extreme angulation—where price stretches excessively far away from the Alligator moving average corridor and momentum rolls over. When the bar makes a new extreme high or low but closes in the reverse half of its range, the fruit is ripe to harvest.

How to trade AIMS The Fruit

1. 1

   Detect Extreme Angulation

   Verify that price has stretched far away from the Alligator corridor with clear open space between candle bodies and moving average lines.

2. 2

   Verify Divergent Bar Formation

   Confirm the candle forms a new extreme high or low but closes in the reverse half of its range, plotting the Fruit arrow on bar close.

3. 3

   Harvest Open Trend Profits

   When holding a Wave 3 or Wave 5 trend runner, treat an opposing Fruit arrow as an immediate trigger to bank 50% to 100% of open profits.

4. 4

   Execute Reversal Straddles (Optional)

   For counter-trend trading, place a pending stop order 1 pip past the Fruit bar extreme. Cancel the order if not triggered within 2–3 bars.
