This was my worst week so far since using this approach. Took a loss on my EUR/USD short and then reentered and took profit at 2x risk. So I'm up one unit of risk this week and calling it good. :) Regarding the earlier discussion on wide vs narrow A levels, I think it really comes down...

Short 1.3420 off a failed a up by my math.

Oh and I've got my eye on the EUR/USD for a potential short next week.

I think this just shows there are many ways to use ACD. I personally use it as a framework to show me where price has gone and where it is likely to go next (if anywhere) and then I use that information to decide if my pre-ACD signals I am seeing are worth taking.

If you search my posts in this thread I attached a good academic paper on this question.

Why couldn't I get this lucky when I was maxing leverage back in the day lol. Out at 5x risk and a short trading week for me.

AUD/USD is looking played out from my perspective for this month. It is showing a little strength now at an area where I would expect the downtrend to fail for the time being. If today can close above the daily A level I am interested in a long on Monday if we get further strength.

Happy Thanksgiving. This year I am thankful for lots of things, one of them being this thread and the generous traders, especially Maverick, that have really improved my trading by sharing their experience and knowledge.

I'm not expecting those kind of returns. I'm hoping to beat what I can get through traditional investments for normal guys like me that can't invest in a hedge fund or something. I'm also not expecting to make money every week. I guess a better way to put it is that I hope to make one...

Out the rest at nearly 3x initial risk. Haven't had time to look at charts all week so figure I should call it good here.

Blog promotes his trading systems. This guy is a cheesy vendor just like the ones he bases.

Unless we start talking entry triggers and trade management I don't have much worth sharing. My routine is to read your posts and then research until I understand them.

Took profit on half at +90 pips, letting the rest run.

Made a different use of acd today, entered a long position I wanted based on daily charts. My stop loss was an a down. It ran 100 pips so I took half off and am letting the rest run unless I get that a down.

You clearly have never earned money as a self employed person with a family. If you had you would unerstand just how little you get to keep at the end of the year. If you can save 15k a year off a 100k income you are very good at saving. And the only thing you are hardcore at is...

It looks like my post gave you the impression that I was equating disorder with morality. That was not my intention. I certainly have my moral stance on various things but I have no desire to discuss them in an online forum. Wikipedia defines mental disorder as the following: "A mental...

I'm starting to wonder if he is just putting on a show to get some traffic to his products. Its hard to believe anyone can seriously have their head stuck that far up their digestive system.

Thoughts on USD/CAD?

The DSM is the standard used by mental health professionals. I don't know your background but I doubt you know better, and I am 100% confident the elite posters on this forum don't. And just my personal opinion but I don't see anything wrong with homosexuality and sadomasochism being...

I'm looking at initiating a longer term position trade USD/CAD long on Monday unless it gaps down big or something.
