    The ACD Method

    I know for me I'm looking at the volatility bands as a way to create profit targets and estimate R:R. It seems like it fits well with the ACD levels since it is all based on volatility.

    The ACD Method

    I think the target levels are really cool because they help you to set a target that is really realistic. I know one of my struggles when I was daytrading was always shooting for the homerun unrealistic target. This helps you to see what "should" happen most of the time and trade accordingly.

    The ACD Method

    This is an interesting thread I stumbled accross while looking for an ACD indicator or something similiar that can plot breakout levels based on % of ATR. http://www.bigmiketrading.com/traders-hideout/6742-acd-trading-mark-fisher-4.html The poster fat tails has an interesting concept he...

    The ACD Method

    That got me thinking it would be interesting to see the stats on how frequently the 1st minute of a certain time period of maybe 30 min to an hour is the high or low for that period for the major indexes. Could be a cool way to build a scalping "schedule" with a positive expectation.

    The ACD Method

    ShanB I get the impression from the ACD book that Mark Fischer is not daytrading like you. It seems like he is trying to catch the big swings holding for anywhere from 1 day to weeks + and for that the 30 min looks pretty good. One of the guys in his book uses a 1 min range. I wonder if...

    Occupy Wall Street

    Rent and all my utilities comes to like 1100, we have a good cell plan like 125 for both lines unlimited everything, we tether our internet off that. No TV. Cars are paid off so we put like 500 a month away for the next car. Our health care is covered so I guess my compensation is more in the...

    The ACD Method

    Think I'm gonna work on putting together an end of day only trading plan based on ACD. Will post my ideas once they are worth posting. Thats the only timeframe I can trade right now and I haven't found an edge with my daytrading strategies on an EOD timeframe but incorporating ACD it looks...

    The ACD Method

    Got the book in the mail last night, answered my own question. My idea was close enough, now got some work to do to make ACD my own. Thanks again for this thread. Would never have stumbled on ACD without it.

    Occupy Wall Street

    My apartment is considered cheap and small, but my standard of living when it comes to hygiene, food, and shelter from the weather exceeds that of KINGS from most of history. Everyone has a smartphone now that would have made the CIA jealous 20 years ago. I can drive from California to New...

    Occupy Wall Street

    I disagree. I make low 30k income we are raising 2 children just fine. We have no debt and are on track to buy a house in three years with a 20% + down payment. We live within our means and are patient when it comes to things we would like to have. Most people think they need a 1800 sf home...

    The ACD Method

    Awesome thread. Unusual on this site. I haven't been able to figure out exactly how to calculate weekly and monthly A values. My best guess is: Monthly: Place levels around the first day of the month based on whatever % of daily ATR one chooses to use Weekly: Place levels around first...

    Michael Lewis Article on Public Pensions

    BTW my pay after taxes is less than 40k plus healthcare. I used to pay cash for that so don't take it for granted. The deal really pays off if you have high need family members like I do. One year when self employed I paid 60k in health care.

    Michael Lewis Article on Public Pensions

    Fwiw the military is cutting soldiers and is in the process of reducing retirement benefits. After 7 years being self employed I decided I was on the wrong end of the tax system and enlisted. Were not rich but are paid pretty well I think. I don't feel overpaid considering that I am separated...

    Your attitude alone will turn investors away. Your lack of experience makes your high opinion of your abilities meaningless.

    Best in the world is a big claim. What history and facts do you have to support this? Equity graphs, trade histories, trade stats would help. Does anyone besides you share your opinion? Most people with world class skills are easily recognized by others that are active in that field.

    Why did you stop updating your collective? If you are good you will build capital from subscribers. Seems like you demand instant gratification and capital but don't deserve it yet. How old are you? You come across as 18ish. You will have a hard time getting much investment being so young...
