I leave that initial trend line in, but yeah I just felt the chart was mildly deceptive or confusing when a trend line is put in that looks like it is skipping moves in real time from left to right. Makes more sense for viewers now that you've shown the accelerating trend line. :) :)

Anek,

My charts are not set to 24hrs. Just market hours.
I noticed you saw that D bottom this morning in relation to a 24 hr chart.

Do you take price after hours as seriously as market hours?
I realize I maybe depriving myself charting only during market hours.

I now see your chart starts at market hours.
And that volume bars do not work after hours very well.

Nevermind... unless otherwise.

:cool:

The intention was to create a quick chart to illustrate the good intraday swings to Razor.

Even with all trendlines included, the bad trades are ALWAYS small wins, small losses or break even trades.

The whole point of AHG is to accomplish:

Small wins
Small losses
Breakeven trades
Medium to monster size wins

Knowing how to run the winners with the paintbars is trivial now.

Anek, have you found the NQ better to trade from a trend perspective rather than the ES? Seems like the ES was way choppier today than the NQ. Is today typical from that respect or does it just vary from day to day which index will trend better. Are you going to stick with the NQ or go back to the ES after seeing how they both trade using AHG?

Billy,

It depends on the day really. ES today in the afternoon was horribly choppy.

I'm currently trading all e-minis (except YM) at once to increase the odds of implementing AHG successfully.

Sometimes I don't exactly say what I do in the journal to prevent newbies from going crazy but assuming they KNOW NOT TO DO THIS, I'm trading ER2, ES and the NQ on a daily basis.

They work well you just need to adjust them accordingly due to the low volume.

Same reason why i use 2500/5000 on ES, 500/1000 on ER2 and 1000/1500 on NQ, all related to volume.

Yeah I was thinking the same earlier but thus far it has not affected me. Still going to run MC on demo soon here.

I'd be careful of MC. When I was using them I would compare it to a chart in OEC and see that they were off. But then I would refresh and see that MC is now what it should be. Just an observation.

Its crucial to have an accurate calculation of constant volume bars. Especially if the strategy based on closed bars to confirm breakouts/continuation.

There are several types of data streams are usually implemented in charting software - history and real time. After refreshing the data might be recalculated from the new point and/or from another server/database that will be slightly different from real time stream.

MC using OwnData that is part of a program and its basically a dynamic database for storing data. Comparing constant volume bars /MC/ from multiple data feeds will always produce different results.
 
Busy most of day, but took 1 trade as a head and shoulder sell toward end of day and had a small loss. Looking over the day I see several formations that morphed into others. Could have been played in a very choppy and unprofitable manner with those 2 head and shoulder fake breakouts.

Did I read things correctly?
