    The ACD Method

    Ya doesn't look like it wants to hold there for now. CL looks to me like it has shown a change in character. Was formerly lagging ES and has shown relative strength on this move up. Where's the monthly A-up?

    The ACD Method

    Some of my friends asked me about AAPL and if it would get sold this morning. Right away I imagined all the retail bus people's mindset. That would be the expected response, but AAPL has held a nice bid and had a nice A-up yesterday, despite disappointing with their Iphone release. Already made...

    I'm going to take a look at APKT right now. They issued downside guidance and the stock was down 30+% premarket. Slowly but surely inched up and opened down less. People sold this thing and all it did was slowly recover going from premarket to the morning. The A-up was confirmed around 9:30...

    Given my lack of significant progress, I've changed what I have been doing significantly in the past month. I have seen progress and hopefully everyone else will see that going forward. The daytraders are being crowded out by the algos, who can execute and employ trades faster than any human...

    Here's a trade I took today in YUM. Yum beat on the top and bottom line, guided in line. But was catching no bids on market upticks throughout the morning. Made an A-down through the pivot. I was short and ended up getting out with a scratch. In this case the 10 day ATR is 2.1. It reached...
