AHG Thread

[johnjohn1hew]

Lately i have been looking at the AHG method and have noticed similarities between that method and all other price action methods. AHG trades only price, using support and resistance, trend lines, price patterns, volume, market internals, market profile, etc. as confirmation. If you're not familiar with the AHG i have included a pdf of the original AHG method that contains snippets from the enormous journal on Elitetrader.

In this thread post your analysis of charts using your method in conjunction with the AHG method. Lets see what we can learn from this.

AHG method has evolved many iterations... it is a moving target !

A is using volume now... it is not just price action alone



p.s. he also uses indicators to supplement his price reading.

I also just read a post on et that said he's not even trading the AHG anymore - into finding bottoms and tops now. I have no idea if accurate, but I recall reading that here recently.

It doesn't really matter what Anek is doing right now. I read over the method and i think it makes sense. In my interpretation of it and in my submissions to this thread i will only be using volume as an indicator in conjunction with price movements. But you are free to post what you'd like and how you use "indicators" to confirm your trades based on price action.

I did not download your attachment.
Do you know which version is it?

I think it's important to note for others reading this that the system being discussed is possibly no longer being used by the original author of the system. That's kind of important to mention IMO.

B/c the follow up question is - if it was working so good, why scrap it? Again, in the interest of full disclosure.

I don't mean to discourage you... but he has publicly renounced it.

use it as an academic study,
even if you don't find out what works,
knowing what doesn't work is just as valuable.

I'm done with the forums. ^^ Explains everything.

At one time his charts where covered in indicators. There seems to be some sound principles at the core but as you say it seems to be a different approach from month to month
