Thanks John. One of my main problems is that I am taking alot more than two trades in every instrument. For example on an a fade trade I might try to position for a fade...stopped out...try again...stopped out and then on the third attempt I will catch the move. But I am using them on the...

So I've been using ACD for the past few weeks and one thing I am finding is that I have certain strengths when it come to trading and certain weaknesses. I can hold onto trades and let my winners run and add to positions when necessary. I am not the best with my entries and stop placement. I...

If you don't mind, how do you come up with your stops?

Anybody see MOS today...a good news bad price action play. Added to the S&P 500 index and look at it today...looks like shit lol

Was short on the failed A-up in the SPY. Long some VXX and short SPY from 114. VXX grinded up 50 cents from my entry and spiked right back to it. I ended up getting out with a scratch on the VXX and a little bit on the SPY. When people say the INDICES back and fill...I believe it. I cut...

Thats what I figured...goes back to the confluence idea. Thanks.

Anybody have an opinion about the 30 day trading cycle. If there was a plus or minus day 30 days ago, does it increase the liklihood of it happening today? Any observations about what you have noticed? I've been going through the SPY for the past 90 days or so and it doesn't seem to be...

Nice...and naw you can't leave us yet Mav!

Looks like a late day point c pivot type trade. In short from 120.78.

Looks like we may get something here late day in the SPY.

Well, I had my OR from the 7:30-7:50 number release. Got long off of the failed A-down. Took a measly 30 cents on a few hundred shares...proceeded to go up 1.40+ from my entry. Haven't traded in a few days and am slightly under the weather...didn't help my decision making LOL. Short off of...

I have a three day rolling PR of 3 cents on the SPY and a 20 cent daily pivot range. 3 day is the smallest I have seen from the past couple weeks. Maybe we will be in for some volatility tom.

Thanks John. Sitting at home now with a really bad sore throat. Feels like tonsillitis, hopefully I'll be good to trade tom. After I feel better we should def meetup for a drink or something!

Thanks I found the one with the 3 day rolling pivot range...an indicator for the daily pivot range would be great too, but this definately helps.

Nice...let me know!

The bulk of econ numbers came out at 7:30 CST so I used that...just seemed logical. I

Does anybody know if there is an indicator for ACD in Thinkorwim? I've been searching, but no luck. Even something as simple as a pivot range indicator would help, so I don't have to calculate and draw them out every time. Any help would be appreciated :)

Thanks, I appreciate it. This framework seemed very natural to me when I read back over Fisher's book, glad I went back over it :)

I definitely favor a intraday swing approach, just didnt have an methodology to collect my thoughts and create a bias. I've been scalping momentum intraday(unsuccessfully). I am feeling that I like going this route much more. Just like any other trader out there...looking to find something that...

Hey there everyone! Been putting in some work to implement some ACD into my approach. Here are some trades that I put in on the SPY in the past two days. On Thursday I used the OR after the 730 numbers were released as it seemed logical. Today I used the OR after the Michigan Sentiment...
