    I don't use them but here's a detailed review by Cesar Alvar which I believe is for their stock data offering. https://alvarezquanttrading.com/blog/norgate-data-review/

    The ACD Method

    I'm going to refer back to post #766 of this thread where Mav said re such a scenario "Yes, the best A trades are the ones that initially fail right at the A level then come back up and go through. you can immediately take that trade and not wait for the confirmation." Best to read this post...

    The ACD Method

    Interesting spread - not sure if that would have occurred to me. Re the strongest correlated symbol ... I would have thought that any of the other interest rate products would have been more highly correlated than 6A. Will look at the chart to get a better sense of this spread. Thanks again for...

    The ACD Method

    Hello, if you get a chance would you explain why you picked 6A to spread against bonds and your rationale for the entry. I like looking at trades mentioned in this thread and seeing if, in hindsight, I would have seen the same thing. Thanks

    The ACD Method

    Hello, re the Aussie portion of this spread, was this an Aussie bond, Aussie dollar or something else? What symbol is it? Would like to chart and see how it looks. Thanks.

    The ACD Method

    There are bunch of posts in this forum on ACD and currencies. A search using" currencies opening range should return a fair amount of results.

    How do you close out a spread trade E.G TUT 02-01 U8.CBOT

    Your best bet it to use a broker that allows you to trade implied spreads. These are spreads that trade just like outright contracts where you can create limit, stop and other such orders. Not all brokers accept such orders and typically the front end software you use must be capable of placing...

    The ACD Method

    Hi Mav, you've mentioned a couple of time in various posts that when it comes to stocks that midcaps are the place to be. Why is that as opposed to large or small caps? Are large caps so big that they're perfectly priced and small caps so small that they're subject to manipulation? Thanks

    Fully automated futures trading

    Mr. Carver, If you were to expand your method of trading (the one you automated via IB) to trade more than one system what heuristics/method would you use to determine what % of your account to allocate to each system? This assumes that you wouldn't just divide your account size by the number...

    VB Editor color theme

    What VB are you talking about? VB6, VB.NET, VBA that's part of, for example, Excel? For VB6 and the VBA in Excel the color scheme cannot be changed. Not sure about VB.Net

    The ACD Method

    I've recently gone through the whole thread and jot the questions down as I review the comments. What I was getting at was what brought X to your attention versus some other stock? I.e., was X a stock on your perpetual watch list, did you find it as you were clicking through all the charts in...

    The ACD Method

    Hello Mav, Let's relate this question (why this stock) back to posts 7244 and 7253 which were your initial posts about the US Steel trade you highlighted back in 2013. Out of the ocean of stocks how did X bubble to the surface .. how did you find it? You talked about its number line showing...

    The ACD Method

    Hello Mav, A couple of number line questions: 1) Once the NL30 confirms, say with 2 consecutive days >=9, what causes it to reset/un-confirm? 2) Regarding scoring a day ... How would you score a day where the day opens and closes right at or very close to the high where the high was not able to...

    The ACD Method

    Hello Mav, Would you please elaborate a bit on why "ACD works much better on spreads". You've discussed which combinations of trending/non-trending markets work best for spreads and shown spread examples but what is it about ACD that "works" better on spreads and what is it about the...

    The ACD Method

    Hi Mav, In this post and others, you've mentioned that you'll quite often buy DITM calls to express a long position in a stock. Would you elaborate a bit (if it's not secret sauce) on how you select your expiration month and strike? For example, assume your analysis indicated that being long...

    The ACD Method

    Based on Mav's post #9787 in this thread where he said "I'm more of a macro trader. If I had to daytrade these markets every day I would go insane." I would say the answer to your question is a resounding yes.

    The ACD Method

    Hello Mav, In this context does the term derivative refer to the calculus meaning (2nd, 3rd, etc) or some sort of other derivation. In an earlier post, I remember you referring to derivatives in the calculus sense but not sure if it was with respect to number lines. Thanks

    I do believe that it answers my question ... thanks. Not sure how I missed that paragraph of the commentary.

    The ACD Method

    Highly correlated and move together and, getting back to the idea of the original post, ideally which of a) neither are trending b) one is trending and one is not? Thanks Mav.
