DislikedMight want to take a larger sampling size than just this thread. Two different sentiment indicators both show retail traders as net short EUR/USD (1 (http://fxtradeinfocenter.oanda.com/orderbook/historical_positions.shtml), 2 (http://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/marketwatch/sentiment/)).Ignored

DislikedAs stated above, I don't use 40/50 pips SLs at the moment because of the 300+% increase in volatility.
[color=#ff0000][color=black]The volatility has made it more difficult, but traders need to learn to adapt to the changed circumstances. And if you were going to trade, you had to be very, very selective. We hunkered down and became very selective and were still able to pump out high profits since the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) started in August. (The members of the group know the profit numbers since The GFC started and...Ignored

If you look at the 4H chart the rising Support line from 1.2963 (April 28) and 1.3804 (June 8) and 1.3934 (June 12) was broken on June 15 and that Support line... turned Resistance line ... has not been touched by any UP move.
Furthermore, again looking at the 4H charts, you can see that the market peaked at 1.4338 on June 3 and has been falling ever since.
However, the market choppiness...Ignored

DislikedYou have to be correct in the direction you are trading first for the A-H to work for you. So if you are as sure as you can be that the trend is down, then the support will not hold. Now if you think that support is the turning point and trend is changing to up then would you still want the A-H trade there? I know I wouldn't.
A Trend Trader is going to take a loss at the point of the trend change, there is no way around it (that I know of).Ignored

I sincerely apologize for any insult that you may have felt based on my accusation that you could be the same person.
It had nothing to do with jacko's successful trading, jealously on my part, or intolerance for newbietrader101's posts. It was for the sake of protecting Forex Factory against age old promoting tactics of spoofing users.
Again, I honestly and humbly ask for both of your forgiveness, as I should have not made a public post about this.
I hope you both will forgive me.
Good luck and continued success,

DislikedHi White Goodman,
It is my understanding that the AH strategy is applied almost by default - unless price shows that the trend might be changing.
[color=black][font=Verdana]Take this as a purely hypothetical situation... the trend is up and we are looking to enter at 1.4000 BUT if price were to drop beyond 1.1000 we would consider that a possible change of trend is taking place. Now if you were to trade this in the traditional way (without the anti-hedge...Ignored
