A. I hate to see too many compliments to you here, you may get a big head and become an elitist, but I don't think I sense that is in you. I suspect the folks that are PMing you with negative comments, are folks who are themselves struggling, perhaps making some headwayj, but are not...

A. My take on your trades. Heading out for a few myself. Mingle with the local riff-raff, traders and other neer-do-wells. :p

4 trades, 2 win, 2 lose, = for day. Done for day

Jack411, I am trying to base my trades on Anek's methods. The ma and keltner channel are just filters. Not sure they help, but just reminders. For example unless I see a really good reason to sell, such as a dt, I am hesitant to do so if price is above the ma. KC just keeps me aware of...

Two trades, two wins +4.5 pts. About time for a losing day for me the way things usually go.

A. If you get a chance, would appreciate comments on todays trades. D.

mrpopp, If you post a chart of your trades, you will probably get some good feedback on their merit of lack of.

A. Is this first sell from Friday's chart one you would have taken even though it was not off two lh and two ll?

A. Breakdown bar had a low below the previous swing low but closed above it. So I guess I jumped the gun. You would generally wait for the trend break bar to close, and enter only if it closed below that swing low? Say in the case of a trend line break that took a couple of lower bars to...

A. I tried this as a double top short. Was it a trade you would have taken? It just did not work our unfortunately.

Well folks, today was not too good, got stopped a couple of times, small gains on a couple of others. Inside day. Overall negative. Considation leads to expansion, maybe tomorrow will work better for me.

KiWiRoo I use IB for data. If your source charts differently, and you are trying to check your trades and charts against Anek's, you may just want to vary your volume untill you get a reasonable match. It's all relative.

Nobody seemed to mention this double top and trend break today?

Many years ago I resolved that the CCI was a bit better oscillator than most, but still would not enter a trade based on it. If used at all would be as a confirmation and filter for price action. Just me.

On the pullback vs trend change question. Just read the beginning of the journal. Trend change needs two LL or two HH. Unless double top or double bottom, then just one.

Tim, Check out AHG journal. Read it all. Gift.

I did not do well today. Missed a couple of good setups and was distracted while in a couple of others, making poor exits. Working while trading sucks. I'm thinking about going to bed when I get home from work about 5, sleeping till about 2, then trading ES in overseas hours for me, till I to...

I do not offer advice, but as an observation I would suspect that if you dropped your posting here and started reading and following the AHG journal, you would be on a path with much greater potential. On the other hand if you have a mental/psychological basis to your current state, you need to...
