Quote from Piscuy:

I had missed that post on your request for insights on the HA bars. So here comes a bit of information. HA bars modify the bars so first its important to note that it will not match with candlesticks or bars. With that said the modifications do a couple of things. If your dealing with daily bars it will remove gaps. If you dont have gaps you can trade the trends a little bit easier. So HA give you trends. With that said HOW do they give trends? If you are in a strong uptrend the bodies of the bars should appear at the very bottom of the bar. If your on a strong down trend then the body should be on the top of the bar. Also if you notice at reversal points you get very small bodies at the center of the bars. Let me know if you need examples cause I dont have the HA indicator on my computer anymore.

Tape

1) add the above ask transactions (buys)
2) add the below bid transactions (sells)
3) compare the numbers to see which side is winning...

note: useful at critical points, may be useful / may not be at others - not experienced enough to say

Sent you email in a hurry perhaps you can make it pretty and post a refined explanation here later.

Dont dismiss the tool cause it is a good tool. I guess trading is always about evolution. At some point in time it did help my trading, I guess you eventually outgrow things. Now its as easy to see the trends with or without them. Still a good tool.

Please someone call Anek's home and tell his wife to hide the PCs, the man is out of control, this is the 9th time he said he was gone

Good one Mark!

I tried to do the Piscuy Method Today on the ES.

65 Trades!!! plus 30pts!-minus commissions

My best day yet!

I didn't adhere to his method exactly beacause I didn't know what timeframe he used...so I winged it a little. I used the signal bar as my entry a few times and watched the tape closely while following the trend mostly.

I don't know why before I read this thread, I tried to call tops and bottoms so often...DUMB

Maybe and Piscuy/Anek method.

I will post my chart tonight after bball. It is a bit messy w/ so many trades!

Quote from Piscuy:

On the ER2 probably two or three ticks. Havent traded the NQ that much but I would say on the NQ one point.
My time frame of preference is 250 shares on the ER2, 1000 on the NQ. I get out when I am not comfortable with a trade, I set a stop, If i reach my uncomfort level I'll move my stop and exit the trade wherever this may be. My stops most of the time are bigger than my target when I am scalping like this. I know many will argue about risk reward of the trade but I do not view trades like this. I view a trade in terms of the probability of its success not it risk reward ratio. You can have a kick ass risk reward ratio but if your probability is not there, it is a sinking ship.

Thanks Piscuy! See my last post to mark. I used a modified version of your method today and did well.

65 trades +30 on the ES.

I hope to fine tune much more and learn to pull out of trades that look bad, faster.

Thanks for your help!

According to Aneks rules, I am only supposed to be trading 1 contract, but I have cheated and upped to 2 for the last week or so :eek: I am in the green after 3 weeks so I figured why not? I will stay w/ 2 for a long while because that is quite a lot of dough, especially on a good day!

Anyway, I didn't hold any trade more than a few minutes. Many under a minute.

Like Piscuy, the moment I feel hesitation, I take my profits...especially on the few scalps against the major trend. But I need to apply this more often to my losers too.

dude...I am really impressed...you made $3,000 today...great job!!!...think about what you can do when you ramp up to say 10 contracts per trade and 65 trades per day...also you said "I didn't hold any trade more than a few minutes. Many under a minute."...I thought that the AHG strategy was more directed towards longer term trading with the trend and not scalping for "minutes" as you are doing...wow, again, great trading...very impressed!
