    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    You mean the lowest DARK red and light greens?
    Trade around 11.35 h is somewhat confusing.
    The EMA 34 probably applies to the 3 minutes only?
    Is there an equivalent for the 1 minute
    or volume bars or 10 ticks you used tu use?

    Thank you for sharing your findings.

  3. Hey Everyone,
    I am new to AHG and after going through lot of the posts and the various documents, I have made an attempt to mark various setups for trade triggers in the enclosed chart. The chart is slightly busy.

    1. Rectangle Breakout short 1 tick below the signal bar.
    2. Trend down.... Short when price goes 1 tick below the second LL
    3. Short & Longtime Trendline break
    4. Trend up.... Long when price goes 1 tick above 2 HH
    5. Short - Trendline break
    6. Double Top trigger
    7. Long - Trendline break
    8. Double Bottom trigger near LOD (3 possible trades)


    #2 & #4 we did not have much retracement/rally so marked the trade off the second swing point. Note sure if that's valid.

    There are number of possible DB trades one could have taken. Trying to figure out what are the better probability ones to take.

    I would appreciate any feedback based on what I have drawn in the chart.
    Thank you for your help. Have a good day

  8. I am learning the AHG system. I am posting two more charts where I have marked possible trade triggers using AHG. I have marked only Trendline breaks, Double Top/Double Bottom & Continuation trades. For <a href="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1612301">continuation trades</a>, I look for 2 HH & 2 LL and go long when you see a first closing bar above previous high.
    I would appreciate any feedback based on what I have drawn in the chart.

    P.S: Didn't get any feedback from the <a href="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1738726#post1738726">last post</a> so not sure if its ok to post such charts for feedback.

  9. I am curious to see if anyone us using AHG for <b>swing trading using a higher timeframe chart </b>.

    See attached a Daily chart of NQ with trade triggers. Couple of quick questions (still learning AHG).

    <b>To include or not to include wicks</b>
    While drawing Trendlines, I always wonder if its ok to ignore the long wicks or should I always include them when I draw trendlines as I get different answers depending on whom I talk to.

    <b>Continuation trades </b>
    When looking for two HH/LL (or LL/LH) does it have to be swing HH/LL or can it just be subsequent bars. So for example, if I see say 2 consecutive bars having HH/LL and I get a retracement, can we assume its trending and buy when the bar closes above the previous high.

    <b>Bounce of a trendline</b>
    To enter a trade based on a trendline bounce (continuation trade), does one need to wait for confirmation to enter the trade?

    Thank & have a good day,

  10. I know the volume levels for the major indicies are well documented here, but is there a formula for choosing volume levels?? If you are looking at a symbol that isnt really followed here is it just trial and error? or is there a way to figure out the best number using average daily/weekly/monthky volumes etc??
