Nice day today on the ES. Caught that first wave up, and a few scalps throughout the day. +11.5. Still in the Sim, so if anyone knows a merchant where I can use Sim dollars to buy stuff, let me know!:D

I was only in the sim, but my day was slightly worse. It seems funny that on such a clearly obvious uptrend, it's easy to stuff things up (not suggesting you did fish, but I certainly did!) :D I posted the image earlier about how clearly, using Aneks rules, one could have hit a blistering...

Is there any advantage over just using the IB Sim?

ok a 15k chart, the HH/HL pattern is obvious. I hope everyone did well today!

I have an IB account, and find their simulator to be quite good. Limit orders seem quite realistic - you don't always get in on the first bid/ask hitting your price...

Also, the lowest candle in each of the HL's finished way off their lows - showing those lower prices were firmly rejected by sellers. Off base?

I just threw out my stochastics. It serves only to confuse and create hesitation. :D

cool, thanks again for sharing.

Thanks for sharing bm. What do the green boxes represent on your chart? Congestion?

Well done, on a day like today. Care to share your charts so others (like me!) can learn how to navigate the chop?

Nice to hear. After 3 feet of snow over the last few days, the temperature turned just above freezing. So whilst you were enjoying your Sierra Nevada, I was out running in the wet and slippery roads about town. Wouldn't have it any other way tho... :-)

Good points. In this market, i shouldn't just be holding on, waiting for the HA bars to change colour before exiting. Thanks for the advice.

Hi All, I'm looking for some help in analyzing today on the ES. Attached are two trades, but there was really only 1 trade today that I saw as a potential AHG (the second on the chart) I see today as mostly just chop. On a positive note, using the AHG method on the one trade allowed me...

Hi Mark, It seems that this scalping method, with a stop of 1, might small enough to be hit on the subsequent bar, even though that bar ends with a LL, the high on the subsequent bar is sometimes 1 point higher than the entry. I'd be very interested in knowing how this goes realtime...

Wow. I found it much tougher than yesterday. I have attached my chart, I welcome all comments on my trades. 8 trades, 4 winners and 4 losers, Gross +6 points.

Hi Einstein, A total of 7 trades only. I'm not up to Piscuy's method yet. I don't think he appears until past page 100 - I'm still WAY in the past in terns of reading this journal. All of my stops were 3 points or less, one was only 2 point, being the HH value (lost the two points on that...

Hat's off to you Anekdoten and all contributors, this journal is terrific. I have learnt so much, and I'm only on page 69! Today was the first day papertrading the ES, and I managed to scalp out 22 points from 4 winners and 3 losers. Only using price and stochastic (and a bit of HA to confirm...

Thanks very much for the pointer. The May 24 video of Eric Wilsons presentation describes the guassians perfectly. Now I just need to be able to transpose the information into my annotating. There are some good guidelines that should be accepted and implemented into one's charting, but it...

Hi Munck, Nice chart. Perhaps you can explain to me how you draw (and define) your R2R and B2B's? I have read alot about them but actually being able to draw my own, and knowing how they define supply and demand is lost on me...

...Don't forget about JADE...
