What AIMS LOBOT does
Trading market opens is notoriously challenging due to deceptive fakeouts and sudden volatility spikes. AIMS LOBOT eliminates subjective interpretation by identifying mechanical Inside Bar volatility compression ("The Seed") and qualifying each breakout against a strictly day-bounded Session Open benchmark.
Inside Bar Volatility Compression
Detects structural coiling where price is engulfed inside the preceding Mother Bar, identifying order accumulation before the London Open.
Day-Bounded Session Benchmark
Draws an objective horizontal equator line from London Open with zero overnight diagonal slope artifacts distorting technical levels.
Forward Order Brackets
Automatically projects entry stop lines and protective stop loss brackets across future bars with dynamic pip buffer offsets.
How to trade AIMS LOBOT
London Session Timing (07:00–10:00 UTC)
Focus execution on the peak European morning liquidity window when institutional banks establish intraday directional inventory.
Wait for Inside Bar Compression
Identify an Inside Bar forming at or near the session open, signaling volatility squeeze and order accumulation.
Align with Session Benchmark Equator
Take buy breakouts strictly when the pattern forms above the Session Open line; take sell breakouts strictly below.
Deploy Pending Bracket & Manage
Place pending Buy Stop at High + buffer or Sell Stop at Low - buffer. Bank 50% profits at +1.0R and trail remainder.
Prompts, not trade instructions. A SETUP READY prompt tells you to review the structure on a closed candle. It is never a command to enter blindly.
