I remember Fisher saying everything that you mentioned in one of his videos also.. THat is kind of why I rolled my eyes when he also brought up 8th graders making money, and the KISS principle. I guess I was frustauted b/c he was talking out both sides of his mouth so to speak. But I am...

THis is something that confuses me a bit when I read this. Maybe you can clarify. To me, it would seem that trading has a few different phases once you are on the road to success (assumming of course you eventually make it that far, which is a big assumption.) But once you have something, a...

Happy New year to all! THis has been probably the greatest thread I have seen on ET. THe lack of trolling, mudslingning was a nice change, and the generousity of Maverick and others was fantastic. I want to personally thank him and the others for sharing their nuggets of wisdom. I just...

Mav, I have been kind avoiding looking at spread trading, mainly b/c it went over my head. IS there a very basic link or read where I can learn about them? I have looked around, but am having a hard time wrapping my head around it conceptually. In my limited reading, I do keep seeing...

Is the link broken? Seems to be on my end.

THis is what I have been trying to do. In various forms over the last few months. Not so much "1 entity" but stocks that have shown relatively statistically signifigant behavior (mainly volatility based) over the last few months. Then apply ACD pricniples to it. Its still a work in...

Ho Ho! I have had enough Coal in the last few years, about time I get something good. :)

Just as a general question, I dont want to have this get away from ACd, what is a decent sample sample size of looking at statistical intraday behavior. I am thinking 100 tradings days? (5 months of trading) That was it isnt too old to reflect old market environments, but not small enough...

True, and I do have a tendency to try to perfect things (or narrow down criteria) to get as close to a holy grail as possible (when we all know one doesnt exist.) I have been a fan of multiple time frames forming broader picture bias or setups or S/R though so that kind of comes naturally to...

Maverick, or anyone else out there. I have been studying daily charts, in conjunction with intradays. And since ACD is ideally a sequence of "layers" lining up, have you looked at as kind of a macro view, stocks (in my case) breaking monthly levels, in relation to weekly levels? For...

I wouldnt worry about me, I am not even trading ACD live yet.. Stil trying to develop some things b/4 I go live.. Besides. I am not trading any size anyway. THanks for your help with all this stuff the last few months. It is very appreciated.

:D To be honest, I just started looking at weekly and monthly levels. Even as a day trader, I was curious. It kind of opened my eyes to new things.

Maverick for monthlies, are you basing them off of the first trading day of the month? I ask b/c I am going through daily charts, and Tradestation has an indicator which can highlight the first day of teh month, as well as week. I am looking at charts, and maybe I am fooling myself by...

But fish says in his video a few things that are contradictory. I dont mean that as a criticism, but am just making a point. He says that this is method so simple, he teaches 9th graders this method, b/c they can follow direction and dont overthink things. KISS, etc. Then he goes on...

I put together something, but have it hardcoded into a 20day ATR.. It is a function, and not sure how to change it. It has alerts for trading above/below the OR, as well as b/w OR and A levels. (I am not that savvy with the code, and fumbled around to get it to verify... I had to steal...

True. I am still not actively trading the ACD method yet. I am more just looking at ways to narrow down my intraday stock universe still and observing different things (like the OR/average ATR ratio.) Also still developing some TS alerts and stuff for ACD. But, yeah I do have a habit of...

I havent really looked at weekly OR's yet, but might do it for more of a macro look (since I day trade.) I know this was touched on earlier, but are you guys using each Monday's H/L as the OR? Or are you using the first week of each month? etc. I know MF said the first week in January...

I am in the process of coming up with a TS study on this. I will let you know what I find. The prgramming is a bit over my head, so I have to give the guy i know some time to get it going.

interesting. thanks for the response.

I created a column like you recomended OR/average ATR(30 day), and it seems to really narrow down a universe to a manageable # of stocks. As far as volume, I remember MF in a video saying he didnt really use it or look at it, when someone in the audience asked about it. It never really...
