lol...well said. Its interesting to know that it is adaptable to a trader's own style. I'm just really curious to know if the A or C values are calculated off ADR or ATR values and what deviation from it? I'm getting a feeling that being a perfectionist is not an edge when applying...

I know it's a lot to ask for Maverick, but i'm a newbie at the ACD method and was really curious as to how you establish your A & C values?!? As for pivot ranges, in futures mkt, when determining pivot ranges, What close do you take? In equities EOD price is easily determined but in futures...

I know there is no ''B" per se, but he does speak of it - referred to as his stop. What I don't follow is: - that his stop (on Aup) is a tick below the low of the OPENING range, and vice versa for (Adown) If pivot range is above opening range (& Aup is located within it) and mkt trades...

Thx Mav, When you have some free time, any chance you could help me better understand where B is placed. I seem to be confused on when he places his stop outside the opening range or the pivot range? Thx

Nothing to do with today's trading activity, but do any of you who follow fisher's method give any credit to what is mentionned in chapter 2 on the plus/minus 30 day rule. Seems kinda fishy to me, that if 30days ago was a plus day, then today should be a plus day because we have volatility or...

Pretty much covers it.

Hello everyone, I have no programming experience but been toying with the idea of building an algo. What is most used in programming; C? C++? XML? .NetFramework? PMP? Any info worth sharing would be appreciated. Thx

so what does a trader on an institutional desk do that is so different than a prop trader?!? Other than working on execution and trying to beat vwap....

That first fight was crazy...sort of what i was hoping to see in the mayweather-ortiz fight....sadly not.

a little more than a "no" would be good for the sake of answering one's concerns

I haven't seen such a worse environment to intra-day trade than now. HFT don't provide liquity - they provide ''fake'' volume. Yes that's right, the kind of volume that does not fill you unless your sitting on edga/bosx and have to pay to get out!!! As for volatility and QE...it's been...

The less I provide to Uncle Sam, the better I am...:D Do you say futures is a better mkt to trade because it's more of a fluid/cleaner mkt to trade? I mean, equities is filled with algo's, it's ridiculous! Come lunch time, it's not who's a better trader - it's who has a better...

Which do you trade? Indirectly asking, which do you believe offers the better opportunity to make a consistent living intra day trading? I trade equities but the algo's of recent years and the now ultra low volume in this mkt is making this a near defunct biz. I'm wondering if trading...

So CFT Financials, a futures prop trading firm seems to be Oak futures now. The name changed, website changed and their Montreal location removed from the site. Seems like they are just operating out of London now. Does anyone have any news on them? Are they still operating in MTL but...

I'm surprised to not see SIRI in there

To anyone that may be in the capacity to help out a fellow trader, I'm looking for the nasdaq rebalancing list. More specifically, which stocks are to be rebalanced and their respective weights. If anybody could guide me on where i could find such list, it be greatly appreciated. You...

Lol

Bear in mind, I am the last proponent of Government Motors and I certainly don't agree with wiping billions of debt off there books only to resurface a ''new public entity'' 12 months later or so.... But, yes....always a but, Buy GM's IPO. It's the biggest BS in history, but buy it, hold it...

That's what I don't get...
