Shakira, Awesome work on the chart analysis. The points you made shouldn't be new to us who's read through the AHG journal, however, it's really tough to do in real time while the future is still white space. I know we'll all get there soon with patience. The 5 sec chart showed great analysis too. I find it difficult to keep my eyes on all the charts at once, again, I think we'll get good at it with more screen time. Have a good weekend. JW
Guess what?. They are ALL 3 BRs. I have marked them in the chart. I'll explain them one by one, maybe you can code them after my explanation: 1-First I have marked orange square dots at BAR2 (pivot bar) of each of the 3BR patterns BEFORE the magic tick BAR4 triangle marks. 2-I'm going to explain a couple of the marks that are most "f...ed up": a-FU0. Bar2 is the pivot low, the bar inmediately after is an INSIDE BAR (logic is to ignore it as if it wasn't there), BAR3 is then the next bar and BAR4 (with the magic tick triangle marker) is...well, BAR4. b-FU00. BAR2 is the orange marked pivot low. BAR3 is next and BAR4 is marked with the triangle. c-Fx: same as FU00, but with orange marker at pivot HIGH. d-FU1: BAR2 pivot high, next bar INSIDE BAR (ignore), next BAR3, triangle marker BAR4. e-FU2: BAR2 pivot low orange marker, next is BAR3, the next 2 bars are inside bars (ignore). Trigger triangle on BAR4. If you get this one, then you get the logic of it all. All the others follow the same logic. f-FU3 has 3 inside bars after BAR3 (within BAR3). (magic tick triangle trigger appears one tick above high of BAR3). I have made a bifurcated line marking each triangle trigger to its CORRESPONDING BAR2 pivot. Now...get coding those F...ed UP triangles!!! 'cos if we haven't received the codes yet, the odds are that we ain't getting them... Thanks again for your efforts JFW. shakira PS: I think the logic goes something like this (for a pivot low and up triangle): BAR2 has a lower or equal low than BAR1. BAR3 has a higher low and higher high than BAR2, if the high of BAR2 is not higher than the HIGH of BAR1, then it is an INSIDE BAR to be ignored (but it's low is still higher than BAR1 low) There could be more than one inside bar, before BAR3 is FIXED. Once BAR3 is fixed, the BAR that prints one tick above the high of BAR3 is BAR4 trigger triangle marker. (Unless market make a lower low than BAR2, in which case everything has to re-set). Robert Frost: The best way out is always through. PS2: I just checked my email box: Anek is certainly a gentleman. Hello XXX, Sorry I took so long to reply, my email inbox is just out of control, hundreds of emails a day, just complete lunacy. The indicators in my charts were written by professional programmers of the #AHG room, everyone in the room chips in somehow by some form of hardwork. They are not for sale but they are not available either for distribution, they stay within the perimeters of the private #AHG community so I cannot share them. They are not anything special and you certainly don't need them but these were the wishes of the programmers and I must honor their conditions. Best regards, Anek
CORRECTION: "BAR3 has a higher low and higher high than BAR2, if the high of BAR2 is not higher than the HIGH of BAR1, then it is an INSIDE BAR to be ignored (but it's low is still higher than BAR1 low)" should read: BAR3 has a higher low and higher high than BAR2, if the high of BAR3 is not higher than the HIGH of BAR2, then it is an INSIDE BAR to be ignored (but it's low is still higher than BAR2 low). shakira.
One suggestion for the 5 sec chart is to use HILO bars. Price extremes will be more clear and you will be able to fit more on the chart without it being cluttered.
So much for Anek being a PA trader. Here he treats indicator users like they are trash: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=144971&perpage=6&pagenumber=1
Ya this guy has the hots for me, just like others out there, it's fun being popular on the internet you get love and you get hate. I think he missed the part on the post where I described what kind of indicators I did use, some people can be dense. Either way it does not really matter this forum is a circus and like all circuses you get all kinds of wild animals, sometimes even freaks. I'll talk to the programmers have them make an exception with you, this one time, and will get you the indicator you want just for being nice and understanding. Your lucky day. I've been considering creating an internet blog in the near future, undecided yet but still under consideration, will keep everyone up to date. Anek
