Interesting situation this afternoon. Is this a legitimate triangle or do the two intermediate lower highs disqualify it? Turned out to be a spectacular break but did I cheat? ES may do 5 million contracts today. Simply amazing.
I love daytrading. I never get squeezed for more than 2 or 3 points. What a turnaround. What a day. Im exhausted! On a side note I think Warren Buffet turned this market around. He was on the news this morning because he was buying financials and eventually they turned the market as they were up all day.
Hi, Finished Net Gain $210.00 on NQ, +13.75 points. I will post a chart later. Need to take a break. I am pretty happy with todays trading and stuck to the trend all day. Also, traded AAPL, QQQQ and GOOG based on trend and watching NQ chart trend for entries etc. QQQQ - slightly down (about commish worth) GOOG - roughly +4.00 points AAPL - roughly + 1.00 points Chart on NQ with trades to be posted later Cheers

Today's trading session was absolutely insane, the swings were extremely strong and the afternoon was exactly what I needed to pull ahead in a comfortable manner. Without a good system methodology and solid discipline it's the kind of day that can kill a trader. On the other hand with a proper education is fun and profitable. The morning session was definitely not optimal for me as you can see by my longs. Still since the stops are usually smaller than the winners, in terms of P/L I was modestly ahead. The afternoon, a gift from the gods, the surprising up move during the last hour was solid, furious and even had the decency to retrace once in a while for me. I won't trade Friday Option's Expiration, it's usually not ideal for AHG and I could use the break. Anek
Hi, Here are all my NQ and QQQQ trades for the day. Basically the Q's mirror the NQ but I did some Q's today because at some points the volitility was so much that NQ's required too big of a stop even on 1 contract but I could go to the QQQQ and drop down share size to as low as needed to be in proper loss / risk zone. Not a perfect day but I really tried my best all day to trade with the trend, looking for to comments especially our teacher Anek.

I feel the journal has enough information and illustrations for anyone willing to learn how to trade this methodology properly. As hinted earlier last week, I will stop posting my daily trades this week because eventhough I enjoy it, the constant updates of the journal requires constant personal sacrifices that I cannot continue to neglect. AHG is a good system and some areas require more experience/skills than others but overall I've never come across anything better out there. If there is, and there probably is, I would use it, but I don't know the details. Needless to say you can consistently pull money out of the market with this. You will have losing days but they will be rare and miniscule compare to some of the good winning days. I encourage others to participate in the journal and I will drop from time to time to offer any possible advice, for what it's worth, to keep the discussion evolving and alive. Hope some of you continue working on your skills, once you get there, you won't regret it. It's the most lucrative and exciting profession I have ever come across. Stick around, you have all the tools needed right here, the rest is up to you! Anek
HUGE thanks Anek for taking the time to start and follow through on this incredible journal All the best to you and hope to see you posting in here on ocassion as you say you will. Cheers
