The ACD Method

[RCG Trader]

Quote from Maverick74:

RCG, I was not giving you a trade idea, I was just mentioning we are at the monthly A down.

I didn't take it that way, I do admire the work you put into trading, tho.

It used really piss me off when I missed a move. That was before I knew moves come all the time if you are trading the right instrument.

Eventually, I will come and pick your brain. Real traders are very hard to come by, especially since the glory days of ET have passed.

As a retail guy, FX is the only thing that makes sense to me. But if I do move over to prop, you will be the very first person I solicit for advice. You have given more than most in this day and age, and as an oldtimer, it is commendable.

Oh stop buttering me up. I've got Shan for that.

I know. He is good at the back handed compliments.

No flattery here. Just my view. Like Ron Paul, I might not always agree with what you have to say, but you are consistent, and that is helpful to lurkers out there.

...I personally have never met anyone that makes a consistent living putting in less then 60 hours a week...

Are you putting in 60 hours a week? And, if so, where exactly is the product of this analytical effort in your trade commentary?

Joe T was supposed to be on the Kudlow radio show this morning... looks like he got bumped for Newt Gingrich...

I am putting at least 60 if not more. I have over 500 pages of commentary here. Do you want more? Do you want to pay me or is this suppose to be some sort of charitable work on my part? LOL.

Yes, but those 500+ pages didn't materialize over the course of only a few weeks. No charity required, but thanks for the thought. Just that I imagine much of those 60+ hours a week are being directed elsewhere, since I don't think it would take quite so much time to determine and comment on various A levels and so on, and to provide charts of recent moves in various markets. I suppose I'm curious to know how you're spending the bulk of those hours aside from the ACD method you are espousing here. Not that it's any of my business, of course. I am merely expressing my curiosity.

Quote from MBC:

Will be interesting, anytime I approach or ask questions like the one you pose, I get shot down... maybe no response.

I wish we could develop a closed site where real ideas could be exchanged....... this site is more about arguing about "stuff"

Huh? Who on this thread is arguing? This thread probably has the highest quality trading content on all of ET. And it's over 500 pages. MBC, I'm kind of taken back by your comment. What exactly is it that "you" want? We have been exchanging trade ideas on this thread for over 2 years. Hell I even give out specific levels. Please don't tell me you're a troll. We have gone two years without one yet.
