The ACD Method

I have traded it in the past but not currently. It confirmed a monthly A up at 18.67. The QTR A up is at 19.22. I don't have the number line on it. I use to track the softs but then I discovered there was only 24 hours in a day and I had to make cutbacks with my time. LOL. Nice catch on this Sugar, it looks good.

sugar carrys over.. no intercrop risk.. interesting deal.. one of the few softs that doesn't have crop risk

Ironically I think Sugar is the pit that Fisher got his start in.

BTW, SGG is the ETF for sugar for you home gamers out there (looking at you King).

NO, VERY liquid. I think they avg 50k contracts a day in the front and the calendars are very heavily spreaded. And the cash market for Sugar is 1000 times bigger then the futures so the underlying market is huge.

Trades on ICE, can't remember now but real time data for softs was not cheap and it didn't make sense for me to pay for that for the occasional trade.

There you go. Thnx for posting. Gives a nice rundown on the other products as well. BTW, TOS doesn't charge for real time data on softs or any of the commodities.

X confirmed a monthly A up today and is heading towards the QTR A up at 23.06. That's the last stop before my EOY target.

Hey mav, do you trade sugar? I don't exactly follow ACD but I've noticed my methodology and yours line up a ton.

I'd think that is a pretty strong go with ACD as well. It's a little frothy now though.

Good call on the Sugar. Still going. Almost at the QTR A up.

BTW, let me tell you WHY this is a good call since the "why" is critical to one becoming a better trader. There is NOT a single damn post on this entire message board about Sugar. You have this trade all to yourself. This is how you make money in the markets. Hell, I didn't even see this. Good job.
