BYF, Here's the link to the counter http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1608456

Crazy day... Went back to Sim today. I want to get some consistency in my execution before going back to live. 3 trades 1st: big winner 2nd: BE+1 3rd: got stopped out, should have went long instead of short, I thought it broke the trend... must wait for a pull back to confirm going...

good trading this morning... 3 trades 1 loser 2 winners +2.75pts. not a bad start... now off to work..

Hi BB Thanks for your concern and advice. If I had big overhead than I would probably not consider quitting. I have 27k saved up and monthly expenses under <$600. Good to be single and 24. I think I would do much better on my own in terms of getting up to speed... nonetheless I'll take a...

BYF, I've been looking at the 2.5k/5k chart for entries while looking at the 10k for trend. magic tick is awesome, on a 3br, just wait for the 4th bar to break the low/high of the 3rd by by 1 tick then go in. On exits, I tend to just place it at the high/low of the last 3 bars... everyone has...

Nice job BYF, Curious to know, how did you time your exits? On your 2,4,5,6 trades, the exits look good. What's the trigger there? Also, no magic tick for your 5th and 6th trades, do you execute on the 10k chart or do you zoom in a little for better execution? The 1st and 3rd trades you...

Yea, I think place you entry at the low end of the 3rd bar on 3br seems to be the safest bet, although you'll miss out on the run if it doesn't come back. But I think i'd rather be safe than sorry... Mccullek, how do you place your entries? Thanks JW

Thanks Vingbel I look forward to your posts. JW

another way of looking at it, attached is the daily range for the SP500 over the last 8 years. During the periods of low vol, the daily range on average was 10 points... That must be tough for a newbie like me... hope I'll be good by the time vol drops...

Thanks for your answer. I guess I have to learn by experience. JW

I know what you mean man. I guess its still tradable, just less opportunities. Gotta be more patient... this volatility chart shows the trend...

Great day man. I was curius, the 2nd and 3rd long you took seemed to be not with the trend... what was the thoughts behind that?

Mr. Black Thanks again for your contribution. I would love to hear how you use your setups to actually trade. Ie. Let's say a formation is setting up (ie lh/ll/hh/hl, triangle) how do you use the T/S to help you trade? Maybe if a rush a buys comes in at above ask and the price shoots up you...

Hi all, I've been studying Anek's system of trading for awhile and have been making great progress. I know the current market conditions are very abnormal and great for trend based trading. I'm a bit afraid if this method will still work when the market recovers and volatility slows down ie...

Thanks Mr. Black!!! JW

Hi all, I found the following questions while going through the AHG thread. I'd love to get anyone's input who knows the answers below. Thanks! JW Trading the DOM using 20 quick warm up questions. 1. How many levels of orders show on the DOM? _____ For indexes, does the Premium...

Mccullek, I think I see what you mean. I was doing replay on NT and this got stop hunted. I marked it on the chart. Just a hypothesis, do you think its more likely to get stopped hunted if you're trading against the trend? Thanks JW

Hi Mccullek Thanks for that explanation. I was looking over today's chart on 770 tick and I don't see the stop hunting. I attached a chart of a stopped out trade due to change of trend, I don't think this counts as stop hunting since the trend changed. Could you please post a chart showing...

Hi McCullek, Curious to know what stop sizes are you using for the 770 and 500 tick charts? I was using 2.5 stops on 5kv charts. Great job btw. Thanks JW

Sharp I don't have the logic for it. C# a little bit harder to decode than EL. 3br is basically you want a low bar, high bar, and lower low bar. then wait for magic tick and pull the trigger at the 50% of the 3rd bar limit order (from Stealth trader). It's all in the AHG thread, check here...
