What is hilarious is that I and Mav have posted everything Fish said on his first video, that some still cannot grip. ACD is a METHOD to augment a persons SYSTEM. Whatever sigs you generate, you have to verify that with ACD. If you do, pull the trigger. Price action favors you. Now, Mav...

Discussing the concept of ACD does not require public disclosure really. For example, my levels seem arbitrary to you because you do not know how, or why, I have them. The nice thing about ACD as anyone can come along and discuss an ACD trade and reveal nothing about the system. So post away, I...

My analysis of COW would have gotten me in on the daily chart at the close today it looks like price broke the weekly pivot up at 2967. A good A up following a buy signal on my system was made at 2902 but there was a lot of selling in the past weeks and price has not sufficiently cleared the MAs...

Actually, it is. Why? You are still following the process. Follow the process. Take your three minutes and follow the rules. If you get a good A up, price is clear of the most recent daily,weekly and monthly pivot ranges that you have then take the trade. A trend starts and ends with a single...

Try this. For weekly values, your OR is the first day of the week. For monthly the OR is the first week of the month. This ain't hard Sam:D You are overthinking this.

My reading skills are impeccable Samsara. You keep trying to nail down something QUANTITATIVE in a QUALITATIVE environment! One more time, the A values DO NOT MATTER. It is the PRICE ACTION that leads to the breach of YOUR A values. So you keep saying that you have an issue with the idea that...

Okay, please try to find the post where I did not describe the method verbatim as described in the book. I think your own filters are getting in the way. I think that any and all readers would agree with my assessment.

Okay that is great, but whatever you do, when you finish cooking the gumbo, don't add more ingredients after the gumbo is already cooked. Stay with your process of trading. Do not change time frames, do not rework math levels. Decide what you are going to do as far as triggers are concerned and...

I think if a person got that far in the book and was happy with it, they were able to take something very nice away from that section. A lot of traders mistake system and method. I know I did early on. ACD is a method to apply a system. If a person does not at least have a grasp of a...

The thing is Samsara is that there is nothing mystical about it. The way ACD is engineered you have no choice but to be on the right side of price action if you use the method. And as Mav has emphasized if the method is applied , you will not be one of those poor souls who keep shorting every...

I have read it twice. For a veteran trader who has actually put some work into market mechanics, it is a quick and easy read. Newbies and some intermediates will have issues with it because they are a looking for the secret sauce. The magic number. The special time frame. All the while not...

Here is an example. Just a few minutes ago, on the daily chart I received a buy signal from the EURUSD in the form of a momentum change on my MACD. So let's verify this with ACD. 1. Price is below the pivot range. 2. Price has not made MY personal A up. I will have a good A up at 4197. I...

Well, that just the thing, and the beauty of the method. There is no wrong way to apply it. The only wrong way to apply is if you don't do it. The point is that, according to your own rules, cattle makes a monthly A up. If it is a good A, so much the better. You then pan in to look for a good...

ACD, from what I can see, is structural method. Your signals are your own. ACD is a good way to look at, and filter, some of your own signals. The method forces one to keep price action in mind at all times. It keeps one from trading indicators rather than price, which most all newbie traders...

Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark:D

Another way to use ACD is to watch the pivots on the higher time frames. If price is trading within the pivot ranges or on the wrong side of your daily signal then it could invalidate the trade or suggest you reduce size due the daily signal being either counter trend or consolidation. I noticed...

Fish does mention that when Pivot ranges contract, a big move is on the way. I saw that with the usdjpy pair. Three day and one day pivot two pips apart. Oh well, hindsight.

Okay okay, I retract the Stromfront stuff, but all is fair in love, war, and P&R :D

Saw that, something happened last night with all the major dollar and yen pairs. I don't know if Obama or Bernake opened their yap, or what happened. Got stopped out for a small loss. Pivot ranges saved me from a larger one.

lol, of course you would be "88":D
