Hi, Afternoon was not so good Net Gain on day +$18, two long losers. Oh well, tomorrow is another day No equity trades today. Cheers
I can unzip the file, but when I try to open the ELD file I get no Analysis Types and I can't proceed with the Tradestation import wizard. Any idea what is wrong?
Looks like the trade / long from broken resistance / worked out.. so where would be an exit ? Here is one idea
Jaxon, Could be the TS version #.... Try the code. input: AlertTicks(0), HOffset(3), AlertText("Vol"),AlertColor(magenta), NonAlertColor(White); vars: txt(-1),TicksLeft(0),color(0); if BarType = 0 then begin //initiate the text variable if BarNumber = 1 then txt = text_new(date,time,close," "); TicksLeft = BarInterval - ticks; if OneAlert(TicksLeft <= AlertTicks) then alert(NumToStr(TicksLeft,0)+"-"+AlertText+" alert"); //text color changes with alert if TicksLeft > AlertTicks then color = NonAlertColor else color = AlertColor; //reset at each tick text_SetLocation(txt,date,CalcTime(time,HOffset),close); text_SetString(txt,NumToStr(TicksLeft,0)+" " + AlertText); text_SetColor(txt,color); end; Anek
Ok, This is my first day exercising the AHG method. Time to put it into action. 11 trades 1 contract net / -$47.8 btw- since the past 2-3 years of intermittent charting, I have yet to spend a dime. It's on paper thru IB's sim account.... thank god! Attached, is today's chart with some comments on it. -Tech
Techdoodle If you allow me to comment - I love your short trades under red circle #3, #5 and long around 15:11 have excellent RRR. Trade #2 probably a good one, but you exited too early, I would have placed a stop above most recent resistance. #3 short - no signs to exit, coming from DT in downtrend. #4 probably too close to a possible DB formation, glad it worked out
Tech, Does not look bad. Little overtrading and in some instances you were trading on pure chop which ultimately led to your small loss, read afternoon. Also remember what's annotated on my very first post. Short the pop ups on a downtrend. Long the retracements on an uptrend. Sometimes I forget about the above two lines. This will increase accuracy and reduce stops. Also spend considerable amount of time spotting congestion, I barely traded the afternoon. Anek PS: You respond to your very own questions in a logical way, which will ultimately lead to trading wisdom.
