Hi to everyone, another thing I want add is: THIS THREAD ROCKS !!! I have read almost the first half and is a REAL GEM. Many thanks to ANEK for starting and everyone to share ideas and post. I will contribute myself as soon. Thanks again
I have spent hours reading, accumulating and studying this thread, and I am only one-third of the way through it. Well worth the effort and my thanks to Anekdoten and all who participate and keep the flow of sharing and clarification going. One question I have, that I have not seen discussed yet: when an up trend has been established by 2 HHs and 2 HLs, and you are at the possible second HL retracement looking for a 'strong bar' or higher closing bar for entry; if a low is formed on candle 1, but it is not a higher closing bar and it has a bit of a topping wick, then candle 2 closes, but not above the high of candle 1, then candle 3 closes higher than candle 1, but not higher than candle 2: the paint bar will not show candle 3 as a higher closing bar relative to candle 2, but it is a higher closing bar relative to candle 1, which is currently the swing low - is this a valid long entry? Thanks for any insight or experience on this issue, and I apologize if it is addressed in a later part of this thread.

Anek, The AHG thread has been an amazing find. So much contribution, clarity, and so less negativity. Ha, am I on ET??? Thank you very much for doing this. I didn't realize that futures trading is so tough (psychologically more than technically). You have chosen to be helpful in a business which many others choose to view as a dog-eat-dog game. You have my gratitude, along with countless others' gratitude, I'm sure. hwkaiser, finding your document was a wonderful surprise! Thank you for the effort. I re-read the docs (both Anek's and Piscuy's) every once in a while to ensure that I am internalizing the masters' attitude. discrat, your advice to macattack on pg 950 about mastering one setup at a time and reducing the number of roundtrips was a timely "dual confirmation" that allowed me to continue with confidence. Piscuy, c.profitt, kidpwrtrader, gluebunny and countless others...#ahg and this thread rock because of you! Now I'm off to put in my screen time.
