Thanks Rn! -Tech

OK! :) :) :)

Well, I feel that there are some obvious things I need to learn. I feel that showing my mistakes all the time might wear down the overall intention of this thread. Maybe I was reading in between the lines that you were saying that things were getting outta hand... based on my charts...

Just so I can help keep this thread focussed, I will not post so many extraneous charts. -Tech

My exact problem. -Tech

Analysis after the fact.

I use IB feed with QT. Seems I display alot more wicks that TS. I should change my name to 'overTrader'. :D The chart shows my trades, and I commented on them along the way. I don't want to confuse anyone, I'm just sharing. Very poor trading today. So far, I think I am totally...

Perhaps the times when 1500 contracts are collected are different.

I'm getting many more closes above/below previous hi/lo.

Anek, Asumming that your chart is NQ with 1500 vbars, your candles look much, much cleaner than mine. Could this be based on data feeds?

Thanks! I now see the over trading. And I think I understand the popup and retracement part. Some of my entries were after the fact. I think I need to have awareness to relative bar size and where price is in relation to the trend when entering a trade. I think Rn86 gave that hint to me as...

Thanks for the feedback! Trade#2 had the appropriate stop, but I 'predicted' a bad outcome and got out. Silly me! Can I read all those traders' minds?:eek:

Ok, This is my first day exercising the AHG method. Time to put it into action. 11 trades 1 contract net / -$47.8 btw- since the past 2-3 years of intermittent charting, I have yet to spend a dime. It's on paper thru IB's sim account.... thank god!:D Attached, is today's chart with...

Do you mean a relatively long bar? I have been making mistakes with these and then finding out that sometimes they retrace pretty well. -Tech

Nice! I keep having to mouse over my bar for a refresh.

I see too much. I need to learn to filter the info I see. Believe me, you have spring-boarded me into a new level. Those paint bars are gold because I can see how they can be used for good eye-scanning analysis for different markets when trying to find the ideal candle resolution. Or, I'm...

Ok, It's past Midnight est. Again. the stops and exits are redundant in style. I think that's a good thing because they become well defined rules.

Thanks. Even though they look the same I took A30's gracious contribution. :)

Shoot. I just bit tooth and nail. But I got it to work. I have closes higher than previous high and close lower than previous low. I think Anek's some other rule in the there too. I like it! -Tech

Anek, I can really see how those painted bars can clear things up. Good job. I'd like to figure out how to do that in Quote Tracker. Seems that your tight stops are mostly based on previous bar. Yes -- confidence indeed. But I'm starting to understand your confidence. If going short, and...
