Here is a PDF of some of the spreadsheets i use each day to get my levels for the ACD to trade...when it comes to the ES and SPY i have a few of them that i'll look at, and for currencys and energies its basically the same but with some added values showing the Asia/London OR and those PP (but that gives you a good idea)..stocks i keep it simple...ATR(30) x .25 = Aup value; C is around ATR(30)x.05; Also with SPY and ES i like to note the 7:30am price OR (if a number comes out)....In my opion the OR for spooz should be 7:30ct.
Commodities....basically the same thing, but i'll again use two OR's, Pit/Options Open 7:15 open and 8:30 open...
the MAIN thing i watch is the days OR in relation to the Week and Month OR....i'll be a buyer right out the open if the days OR is above the Week, Month, YR....i just buy it with a stop under the day OR with a hope of a trend day in that direction....and i'lll use the WK, MN, YR OR as price targets for other moves)....As for Cup/downs....i'll just use the opening print price with buy/sell stop limit orders...if the trade doesnt work right away on those, your seeing one of those mkt profiles that sees a few ticks of range expansion then back to a normal dist...GREAT trade to flip your position.
Mav, If you use ACD to trade stocks, IMO, Liquidity plays a HUGE facture if you trade size....ACD got me short at the absolute high on TZOO 1-2 weeks ago, i SS 2k shares, but the huge BxA spread on just random noise got me out before the single day 10pt drop (within a few mintues)...IMO ACD works best in mkts that are purely supply and demand driven, commodity/FX futures...(you can really capitilize on the ppl that are on the wrong side of the mkt)...
