Definitely have noticed this. Hows the trading going? Last week or so has been very whippy and headline driven. Just wondering how others are doing

Since I can trade the major fx pairs in any futures account, I will be doing so :). I've noticed the "follow through" nature of many of the forex pairs just like futures. There's alot of leverage and currency trading is probably big on the retail side overseas so this may have alot to do with...

Is that the Aud/usd? You entering off of the BP ? :) lol

One thing that I've noticed with relative volume and stocks. I've seen a high correlation with relative volume and follow through and trending actions in stocks. The lower volume stocks will tend to be more whippy and less predictable, this is because the stocks is be traded by hft just...

Lol, I can't help myself! I'm a fader...I see crude up 4% in a day and think this is too high it has to mean revert!!! no JK. One question I do have is about targets. Take a good A-up in CL for example. Do you target at the ATR. Just manage by discretion. Trail out stops behind highs/lows. So...

hmmm I looked back at the formula and you are correct. Don't know what the size of the pivot range represents in terms of a market behavior. Looking at the range of the day for range contraction makes sense, oh well they work great for framing a bias!

Also anything to look for when looking for the best intraday trades in futures?!

Good stuff, thanks.

I know what you mean! some crazy moves happen right off of the open, so using the OR does miss some of those. Also I don't mind the posts, keep going...would love to see what else you are looking at.

Good to see you are doing some testing! What program are you using? Its redundant to test it to the prior days range because the pivot range is dependent upon the range of the prior day and they are essentially one and the same! I don't know why Fisher mentions to compare it to the previous day...

I mean buying an a-up with a pivot range above. Or selling an a down with pivot below

With the ACD trade...not just one trade. Had about 10 of these in the past few days and about 75% win ratio with good R:R!

John, I know you don't trade intra day, but do you like getting into an A signal against the pivot. I have noticed a very noticeable pattern that has made me avoid these trades. Just wondering what you have found!

3 weeks is a very short time...this will prob take a while, well unless you are a natural and catch on fast. I've been at it on and off for the last couple years. If anything my journal is a good representation of what not to do in many cases and alot of good advice from Maverick and other...

They are a broker. I'll check Velocity out...Ready to man up and move on up! lol Equities still provide some fun...look at today. Who doesn't like spike up, spike down...Referendum cancelled, back on, no wait...cancelled! lol I hope these Europeans get clobbered in the next couple months!

Your from Nor-Cal? I'm originally from Sac. Thats "hella" tight lol

Hey there! How long have you been trading? This game can be a real mindfuck lol. I've been refining my ACD approach lately and can say things have are going better. Last week and couple weeks have been relatively consistent. 11/1/11 Net P&L: +201 Shares traded=3,000 Here's an example...

Not yet, planning on it tho. Any recommendations on brokers? We have a group of guys that rent out space in our office, I'm thinking about going with them.

I played the SPY off of the failed A-up...how often are you using small OR's like the 2-minute? How do you think we finish the day?? break lows and puke or stay in this range. No gap fill. Failed A-up...I think it could get ugly, but well see!

Nice call, you short into this?
