The ACD Method

Quote from Maverick74:

Well guys, I have some sad news to report. One of our members of this thread thinks trading is nothing but gambling and ACD is for naught. I guess I'm just going to have to work harder in 2012 on this thread to show just how precise ACD can be for our friend RCG. I thought I did that over the previous 500 pages. But obviously I've been half assing it around here. LOL. Hang on to your seats in 2012, this thread is going to triple!

Wow that kinda came out of nowhere...wonder what changed his perception of ACD?

My "trading" is just gambling and not worth anything? Ouch that hurt :(

He didn't go into details. Personally that King guy seems like he just flipping a coin. I bet after he leaves ET he goes straight to his online poker game. :)

If ACD is gambling, I wonder what his opinion of his Gann cycle indicators is now! Maybe he's switched over to the dark side and is trading with Astro and elliot waves.

man tough crowd, gambling, edge, randomness, didn't know we were going to explore the dark side, ride winners keep losses small is the whole of trading, in a possibly random game the idea is to make more than you lose. One of the reasons people don't last is that the one time you don't honor your stop or uncle point may be the time gold decides to drop 90 points. Fat tails in option speak. Look at Paulson, he made possibly the largest single trade of all time with subprime, this year his fund is down 40%, I am sure it still stings. People put too much pressure on them selves trying to knock it out of the park. singles and outs with the occasional home run is the way to go.
