thanks Mav today was my first day to test out some of the levels i've built on SPX. i had a very narrow pivot just inside the opening range. once i had my A values i set up a small sized trade shorting the SPY once we closed 10 minutes below my lower pivot. i was going to use the high of the...

i am only on page 250 right now in the thread so i'm sorry if this has been discussed, but you posted this kind of early, is there not a time confirmation for the weekly levels?

welp, feel like an idiot now. just found where i can set up pivot moving averages on TOS. haha number lines and automatically drawing out the pivots and A values will just have to be a manual process every night until i can find someone to code it though. i'm going to make sure that my...

I know spy was down Friday because of the Plan B thing, but it was also its ex-div date. How do you guys count ex-div dates for your number lines? Do you just throw these days out or count them as well?

Mav, May I ask why your A down value is so close to the low of the opening range in August? I'm assuming that you are using the high and low of the first two days of the month before setting the A values. So that's probably where I'm messing up. Also, do you keep number lines on...

wow, very impressive.

Oh, im sorry. I was confused. Nm, thank you.

do you use the daily pivot for your 5 and 30 day average or do you use the 3 day pivot average as your 5 and 30 day?

100% understand this now. having more conservative A values might have less trades, but they will cause a consecutive 9 point day to happen less often resulting in a much higher confidence trade. now, i've just got to find out how to get someone to write a code for me to use on TOS so I...

I suppose. I would have thought that the A levels were very important though. But I guess that what you are saying is it doesn't really matter because they are really just guidelines that give you entry and exit points. But what I don't understand, is if my A values are only 7 ticks on...

Mav, I'm a longtime follower of this thread and am currently starting my second read thru of the book. On your TOS chart, are the green a red lines your monthly A up/down points? Also, I'm trying to go back to some of his examples to figure out just how he comes up with his A up/down...

"thier" so were you being ironic?

Do any of you who are using the F&F on IB assist your clients with getting their trades together for their Schedule D? Assuming your clients do not have accountants that do their taxes, what could be the best way for me to help out some of my clients by getting them as prepared as possible...

can you guys explain to me who Shopster is and why he is harassing me over PM about thanking Atticus for his contributions to this thread?

yeah, isn't this the time that heating oil demand tends to start increasing for the northeast?

i haven't had a chance to dive into the book yet, but was hoping for a quick explanation as soon as you have the time. how would one best use these levels?

ok, thanks. i'm on the night shift right now and markets are super quite so i've actually gone through about 400-500 pages already. but i need to read the book so i can understand the terminology first. i've got a little bit of it just from reading the threads, but i'd like to get to a point...

Is the Fisher book the best resource for this method? I'd like to pick something up to study this so that I can follow along with the discussion. Thanks in Advance.

so you were in RPRX and then got out of it selling your shares to someone else losing out on potential further gains. hence, you lost and someone else won. isn't this the definition of zero-sum?
