I think the answer is that it doesn't matter what size OR you use, just that you are consistent with that size. Over time you will hopefully begin to notice when your products start to reveal themselves. And also for making relative value comparisons between two products, only useful if both...

Well, if everyone keeps talking about him he might be tempted to come back... ;) I had been meaning to ask if anyone is having success with the number lines? Just curious. I was excited about the idea for a while but after keeping them for over a year I've ended up feeling disillusioned. Not...

I notice the quote about major market moves being preceded by action in the currency markets was brought up recently. It's something I've been wanting to research some more. Anyone have any advice or comments on this subject, or examples of how they've used it? Obviously I noticed how the USD...

I've noticed that in Ags especially. For example pre-roll price action in the new contract doesn't always match that of the old contract. Usually it doesn't have a significant effect so doesn't matter which way you score it. Though I recall when Sugar rolled from the V4 to H5, it was a...

Bonds confirming monthly A up, monthly NL confirmed also. ZB came into 12/1 with a +11 on my 5 day but my 30 day was flat. The 30 day confirmed for me on 12/9 and has really taken off to the races. XIV triggered negative yday on the 5 day and has confirmed monthly A down.

Long Wheat? :D

Most of my equity index NL's are all still really strong. Nice failed monthly earlier this week. Cocoa gave a "stealth confirmation" last week and hit the Monthly A this week. I also had a bullish confirm in GBP/USD a couple of weeks ago, but its NL got smacked back down pretty quickly. So...

I figured trading for a living is something you might consider if you're retired, or have enough money that you don't need to work. I can't buy into this idea that scratching out a daily wage is a viable way of making a living. I'll probably get some tomatoes thrown at me for saying this but...

I took another look at precious metals this weekend. Gold confirmed negative, above the monthly A up 30 day: -13 monthly: -4 5 day: +2 Silver 30 day: -3 monthly: +3 5 day: +3 Miners (GDX) confirmed negative, above monthly A up 30 day: -2 monthly: +3 5 day: +1 Junior Miners confirmed...

Thanks Robert. I like seeing how others are viewing things, since I'm still getting the hang of ACD there's always a chance I am missing or misreading something. Indeed there has been no strength in the short term number lines since the QTR/monthly failures. I had not taken note of that. I...

Gold has failed the monthly and QTR A downs, but is still confirmed negative by my numbers. Silver reset on Tuesday for me. GDX miners also have reset this week and confirmed a monthly A up (late cycle though).

Yeah, I called that one out. No, I didn't trade it. I was cautious due to it having made a solid monthly A down (and was below the QTR level for a bit) so I figured I'd wait until Nov before I considered trading it. As it happens it never gave me a chance because it took off like a rocket. I...

Anyone watching the VIX? Volatility/VIX products are looking interesting despite the fact that they've already made a huge move. XIV confirmed for me last week, made a monthly A up today with the monthly reset also confirmed now.

By that, do you mean in individual stocks?

Mav, I have some questions.... I've been reading Steenbarger's blog and notice he often mentions some of the indicators he has created, and gives updates on what they are indicating about the market. He tracks several different metrics across all NYSE listed stocks because he believes it gives...

Anyone have any ideas where to get Brent crude intraday charts? I don't want to trade it, just score it for the purpose of having a better read on the energy complex. I figured I could use BNO but had a look at the intraday charts on TOS and looks pretty dicey. The low volume makes for a hard...

I got a confirm in Nat Gas this week, but it's below the monthly A down. I'm interested in this one because like the recent confirm in Copper, it's not obvious on the chart. Sugar confirmed for me back on Monday. Corn and wheat continue to look good. I figured all the easy money had been...

Looks like the NL gave a good 'tell' on copper...

But what about 24hr futures markets? I've been scoring the whole 24hr session starting with the 'official' pit open. What about a session where price stays within the A levels and makes a +1 by NY close/rollover, then overnight makes an A down at 4am? I was thinking do I want to call that a...

Mav, I've read many times on here about the importance of early cycle confirms, and how you will void out the late cycle ones. I assume this is in reference to taking trades. Do you think it's worthwhile to consider applying the same thing to the scoring process?
