ACD Discussion Forum

Quote from hanseng1:



This system, as I said before, is nothing special if taken verbatim from the book. But if you understand the fundamentals and have a good understanding of the limitations of the system, I think it is a great framework. It gives you an idea of when to enter at a minimal risk point. That is the real value of the system

Good luck to you. :)

that great. Look forward to some company.

Bear in mind that what I am posting here is only a part of ACD. I am trying to establish if one can trade profitably on a longer term time frame using only the 14 and 30 day pivot ranges.

I am posting a daily journal of short term ACD here:

http://www.discussfx.com/forums/showthread.php?p=91#post91

and I used to post at Moneytec before i lost respect for them. There is some useful information here:

It is also important to note that Mark Fisher trades many instruments looking for ideal set ups, while I am only trading cable. So my edge is less than his. This may prove to be a mistake, but I do not wish to track hundreds of instruments.

Please also note that I am not trading ACD "by the book" as someone else mentioned, but my adaptation.

In fact he encourages you to adapt it to your personality, which is why it is such a good "system" - it gives you an excellent framework.

Good luck.

Handle,

It is very interesting that you say you do not want to post on moneytec any longer because you lost respect for them. That is very interesting because from what I can see and from many of my friends in moneytec you never wanted to help or answers anyones questions about the ACD methods.
If someone asked you a question you would avoid answering it, I tried once or twice. Other people that have asked you questions you answer by " oh I have put blood and sweat in this system and I do not want to answer any questions.
You moved here to elite to see if you could find anyone you can share info with on the system not because you lost respect.
Just for the record I have the book and watched the video and know quite a bit about his system. To top that off I am very acquainted with one of his trader by the way, I met him at the wedding of a very good friend of mine that trades in the pits at the CBOT so I did not need to sponge off of your hard work.
I wanted to participate in your thread on moneytec but did not like it when people asked you a simple question and you would but them off.
Now said all the that, it is true, you spend allot of time and money on trying this system out and want to keep it to yourself, good for you I hope you make millions but you are in a public forum so expect some negative feedback.

Sorry you feel that way.

Good luck.
 
Just for the record.

The reason I moved here from Moneytec was because I was tired of having hyperlinks placed in my posts by Moneytec without my authority.

There are many traders who feel the same way and have moved on from there.
 
email, go ahead and ask a simple question and see if handle answers it. As you are aware the ACD method is to be used with "your experience and your own indicators"(paraphrasing Fisher) and consist of a macro and micro view which have to be mastered. The book is good, the seminars are better.

I don't think any other than a simple question about someones study to make ACD more effective are going to get answered by anyone.

I have PMed handle with a tool I use to help in other than intra-day trading, which is what this thread is about. Not all that I use, but one.

I was emailed a notice that there will be a 3 day course by M. Fisher in N.Y. in May. $2500 for 3 days and $1000 for 1 day, free to MBF clients. Here is the link if anyone's interested.

Well 1.8914 WAS important.

Found support there initially and then fell like a stone.

Now short at 1.8904 with a stop at 1.8954 for 50 pip risk.

Move stop to break even and lets see what tomorrow brings.

Will maintain stop at break-even until the 14 day pivot range catches up.

The market has moved a maximum 240pips since the short was entered.

A possible exit strategy would be to scale out, say 1/3 at 200 pips 1/3 at 300 pips and the balance when the 14 day pivot range is taken out.
 
Hi Handle,

I read yours and Charlie’s thread on moneytec with great interest. I also read the book, and currently reading it again to get firm grips on ACD. The system looks very interesting, and I hope I would be able to contribute to its discussions and ideas on how to use it in the best possible way.

Regards,
