Sorry, I'm not seeing where you posted elsewhere about W bottoms and M tops. Was it awhile ago? I usually don't miss any posts. What are the reasons for the entries/exits on the chart that goes along with being Ws and Ms? And what are the larger red circles for? Sorry, I feel like I may...

This would be opposite for downtrend though right?

Anek, So what happened? What changed to make your trading so much more accurate? Has it changed since starting the journal? You seem to know a lot of different patterns and setups that you work off of (ie dragon, etc) Are these patterns something you just started looking at, or have you...

I enjoy reading all of your (and everyone's posts) . They are all very helpful. So how far down were you today? It looked like you should have been close to break even at least. I'm sure if you would have caught that long move you would've been. But oh well, always tomorrow. :) I was reading...

Tech, Seems to me like if you can analyze as well as you do after the fact, you should be doing fine. How many points did you end up with net today? It looked that that big short you took towards the end should have at least put you at break-even. And if you would have taken that long...

awesome answers guys

So what in your eyes constitutes a "long bar"? How many points long? Or should it be totally subjective based on the moment? Do you recommend sitting on the sidelines or tightening your stop once you spot one?

Oh ok, sorry :p

Anek, I was talking about longer bars in general. Still using tick and volume bars, just bars that are longer than average. I thought that's what Tech was talking about to. But I could be way off. :confused: So how do you play them? I remeber seeing you say something about "the move...

I think you're right about waiting. I'd like to hear from one of the veterans though. I'm pretty sure Anek says he waits for a popup - here are the pages he (and you) briefly talked on it: pages 269,270,271 Here was his original post on p. 269: "The previous move had extended downside...

Tech, I have this noted in my notes/txt file, but I want to confirm - when you see those longer bars, do you generally assume that the move is exhausted, even if it is from the start? Would you stay out or would you try to enter on the retrace? How would you handle the longer bars?

I like it when you post charts. I like to see as many charts posted as possible. Helps me out a lot :)

Ahhh! You know what, you're exactly right. I saved two of those charts that you made actually. But I have yet to go back over them this week. I usually save my real studying for the weekends when I have more time. I completely forgot about those. They were very good, and glancing at them now...

ok here is my mini AHG FAQ/manual, again, it's not very long, and you'll see what I mean when I said I just take parts of posts and paste them into the file.

Well, What I would mostly like to see is just a candlestick chart with valid and invalid entries, similar to the bar chart I posted in my previous post. I think if we can see examples of "right" and "wrong" entries then that will help clear the air for a lot of people, including myself. I...

Hmm, I think I'm a little confused now too. Maybe I'm looking at things too hard now. Here is a chart Anek posted a few weeks ago. Anek, You think you could post another when you get time noting the right and wrong entries like the bar chart, only this one using a candlestick chart?

BMW - Nice trades. Are you just using the basic AHG principles of HH, HL, etc? What are the bollinger bands for, and what kind of moving average is that? *edit - I mean how are you using the other indicators along with AHG?

Sorry, I have another question I forgot to ask. What is the significance of the "w" bottom you noted on the chart? Is it any different that a double bottom? I just did a quick google on it and all that came up was - "a double bottom looks like the letter w" Is it just another name for a...

Anek, Is there a reason you didn't enter at approx 9:35? I think I can see "where the party started" though. It's where the first swing highs were that would connect the trendline right? Once you draw that trendline, then you start selling all the little pop-ups right? Hopefully what I...

Cx, Thanks for posting your chart. I wanted to ask you, what made you enter at that particular point and not a little earlier? Were you just confident by that time that we were in the middle of a downtrend? I'm just wondering if you saw something that I am not seeing, and that is why I ask...
