The deeper I go in to ACD the more I am impressed by the deceptive simplicity of it. After tons of my own work and playing with all sorts of different filters I am finding that the 3 day rolling pivot is probably superior to all of them. Justrading I am with you on mind over markets. That...

Current positions are short xop and xlu, and long gdx. Of the single stock positions I am still only in the CVX short. I decided against the XLI long today. Didn't like how it looked to be breaking down the first day of month range. Frequency of trades should be slowing way down with these...

Man how can you trade oil and not at least be aware of the reports.

Here is a faster setting and the reason for the GDX long.

Here is the latest sector ranking. Big shift today in XLU.

Also big picture I think we will see more tech selling. Long YM is still the way to go IMO for index traders. New highs to come except for tech stocks.

I am liking the speed of signals with how I am running things now. I believe it will result in a trade frequency closer to what is recommended by the real pros on here, such as globalarbtrader. I have done a bunch more analysis and don't think I have enough of an edge in stock selection to...

Not to state the obvious but most of us probably don't need 1 minute or faster data. I use 5 minute and would probably not lose any value if I went to 15.

Also I know the buzz on ET is that market is topped etc...My numbers simply don't agree with that. I know my numbers are not magic or anything but they are objective, and objectively by mine and just about any other measure this is a very strong market making a pullback. Minus energy of...

I went ahead and withdrew funds from everything but my equity account, and everything is going into that equity account. I see no reason to trade anything else. I get a better view of equities with my approach than any other product. I've confirmed that with some additional analysis. I also...

Yeah the ECB announcement yesterday completely shifted the momentum in a big way. I took a loss on my EURUSD and got long NZDUSD, will hold it for the duration if the dollar keeps going like this. I would be shorting retail tomorrow if my equity account wasn't already maxed out long financials...

Nice pullback time to go back up today.

That just went to the top my reading list. Thanks!

That is interesting. I can only see a few because I'm not a member, but I did add XBI to my analysis after seeing it there, and it is indeed number 1 on my list now. Would you mind posting their rankings for some of the ETFs I posted? I would be curious to see the results.

I think the play here is long XLF, XLP, YM and treasury (2/5/10/30 all look strong.)

So I had the day off again and did a lot of coding. I have to say that the stuff I have discussed in the last few posts has completely changed how I'm looking at things in the equity area. Having said that I'm taking small profit on the NQ short and calling it luck and a bad trade. I took...

I think I saw a program similiar to qcollector for collecting IB data. I think that it was no longer supported though. If you plan to do this for the long haul you might just want to pay for the esignal/qcollector combo. It is pretty awesome.

Oh yeah, I'm assuming you like me figured out first how to run one symbol at a time. Next, try to figure out how to make one of your inputs a txt file with a symbol list that it will loop through and score.

That spreadsheet shows the rank. So xlf has the most bullish ratio right now. I like pretty colors. As far as the data management: 1. update data files with qcollector/esignal (1 mouse click/15 minute download) 2. run multiple copies of my scoring software (a couple clicks/5 minutes to...

I do believe I finally have something worthy to contribute to this thread to repay a small bit of the benefit I have gained from it. I have taken the components of these ETFs, scored the 30 day NL, calculated the ratio of positive to negative within the ETF, and then ranked the ETFs by ratio...
