I'd be very interested in knowing the stats between wide pivots and range days. I don't have the ability to test something like that, need to learn eventually! With the wide pivot range=wide range. The "range" added to the pivot is nothing more than the high+low/2. So you are in essence just...

Nice, ya i feel you on the a values. It is hard to know exactly why they are the numbers they are. They are surely backtested for each individual market by fishers team and applied. I've found a nice set of ranges and levels for stocks on an intraday basis. Here's a trade in POT today. I'm...

Most people can think past anything outside of their own circumstances and reality so I wouldn't bother lol. How are those those noise band indi's working out. I'm not an "elite member" so I don't have access to any webinars and stuff. Are they plotted on top of Opening ranges or are they...

How does it feel to be trading in a different environment, or are you still in the office for now?

Who do you think will be the next casualty in this debacle. Any other US institutions with this kind of exposure?

Oh I see...the above principles still hold true on all time frames. The cycles just become larger!

Hey bud, What have you been working on with regards to ACD? We def need to share some ideas...seems like you are catching on fast! I didn't pass my series 56(by two ?'s) So ill be out of luck for the next month for trading equities. Its a shame because I think I really have found something...

Also having looked at the narrow OR theory...so far it looks to be holding. A confirmed breakout on those narrow opening range days do seem to lead to the bigger, cleaner moves! It conceptually makes sense. Like Mav said more people would tend to be off guard and be caught from a move like...

Just testing out an idea here, so don't get on me about not having large enough sample size, I am aware of that. I am just trying to identify some general market behaviors, like things I've seen in the past 6 months since I've been trading full-time and putting an ungodly amount of time into...

I really feel like a dumbass or I am pissed at googledocs ! LOL I spent a quite a bit of time doing some manual backtestkng for some markets for the past 5 months. I was going through and seeing if certain conditions would lead to a trend day the following day. I thought I had saved my...

Just to tell you...the natural reaction is always to buy something after it has already gone up a ton, or sell on the way down! I'd bet that most peoples natural reaction is the same...there has to be some type of system for this. Just get a new trader and sit him next to you and fade his...

Want to hear something funny. Sometimes me and another one of my buddies at my firm play a little game. Well go to the high/low ticker and pick out any decent volume stock. Look at the chart and see if it looks like its going up/down etc. Funny thing is we are very accurate in about one...

Thanks for the offer. The other problem is that I didn't pass my series 56 exam today. Scored a 68...need a 70 to pass. Prob should've studied more, but from what I hear the passing rate is about 50% and I haven't met anyone who's scored more than the mid-to high 70's. Hopefully they will...

Given my situation...I may have to open up that futures account for this month! Commodities are like crack right? lol

Man some of these currency moves are crazy! When RCG said you have to trade these like commodities, I can see that. This just makes me wonder what is reason some of these asset classes move so differently. Man I need to get of ET and get back to my studying...good trading everyone

LOL. I tried using a 5-minute OR originally and I was missing so many good moves. So hard to plug in the OR in excel, see the ATR %, plot it, confirm the a, take the trade lol! These A-levels work great tho, I see things bounce right off of these levels so often...sometimes they go right back...

SINA is a beast! Nice find...that thing moves like a freight train! How do you scan for the OR ratio? Here's Bidu today...failed A, target at the VWAP.

Definitely...just reading over today's headlines. Market is holding in decently despite the news out from europe. No agreement on the most important part of the deal, bank writedowns and backstops! Long anything? lol

No trading today, sitting in the library cramming at the moment. I agree these terms just complicate the issue. If the market makes the A-down or A-up, your bias changes. If I am looking to buy low, I am looking at the failed A-down. If the market breaks through the a level, my bias changes and...

I guess I need to go back to the drawing board! Shucks can't believe that wont work out. Maybe I need to keep telling myself to ignore that little excel spreadsheet that I've been logging hundreds of trades in. It's telling my the trend ain't my friend. The trend of consistent inconsistency...
