The ACD Method

Oh and two more that I forgot in my previous post:

1. I commend you guys for being able to keep out the trolls. I think the key is just to start a thread and then reply to it so fast that people don't want to read it :p

2. You guys have touched on it before but one of the keys is information organization if you're trading lots of different markets. I only want to have to make a few clicks (if any) to view whats going on at a broad level. This helps reduce my workload and helps with cognitive ease.
 
I have learned a lot thus far from this thread. I have been looking for stats on stocks that may be good candidates for ACD based trading on a look back of 90 days.
Just by "asking" a stock screener for a lot of Aups(long only) and some good range from the AUP to the High of the Day
puts the wind at your back.
My thinking is to look for weakness in the numberline (pullback), and respect of weekly and monthly levels, narrow pivot ranges(inside days) and then watch for Aups / volatility to trade.
Some of the results are below. Many bond/yeild, low atr equities , and penny stocks have been omitted. What I find enlightening is that you dont have to ask for trend and volatility as parameters in the screener. Just ask for good Aup days.
Thanks for the great thread.

As I was looking through the top performing assets YTD, Silver and platinum were number 1 and number 2 despite the viscous selloff in metals this past couple weeks. Some quick thoughts...Gold's price action has not been very good as of late and both platinum and silver have outperformed on a relative basis. On this last metals selloff platinum held the best bid out of three. Going forward I would bet that platinum will outperform the three metal liquidity plays(gold, silver, platinum). Platinum is even beating out copper by a long shot! It is the best mix of industrial/liqudity applications and I think this will give it a strong bid going forward this year.

Looks like it made the monthly a-down this month, but the price action still looks ok.

Here is an update on the Yen pairs. I'm posting another comparison chart from the date of the monthly A ups in February. There have been some changes in the standings. The Loony Yen has taken the lead. Aussie Yen is bringing up the rear. Swissy Yen right in the middle of the pack now.

Here is a chart of just the CHF/JPY and USD/JPY. Swissy was in the lead for the last month but just in the last few days Dollar Yen took the lead.

Btw, all these pairs pulled back nicely the monthly A down in March and bounced hard.

Mark Fisher Accused By CFTC Of Pulling An MF Global, Depositing Customer Funds Into Non-Segregated Account


from zerohedge:

Mark Fisher is a staple contributor on CNBC. Or at least was. According to various headlines flashing across both Bloomberg and Reuters, it seems that his MBF Clearing Corp is the first victim of the CFTC expanding its MF Global inquiry, and Fisher's MBF Clearing Corp of performing just the same "vaporization" activity that MF Global engaged in and that boggle regulators' minds.

MBF CLEARING CORP SUED BY CFTC FOR FAILIING TO SEGREGATE FUNDS
CFTC ACCUSES MBF OF DEPOSITING CUSTOMER FUNDS INTO A NON-SEGREGATED ACCOUNT THAT ROUTINELY HELD BETWEEN $30-90 MLN
CFTC ALLEGES CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS WEREN'T PROPERLY SEGREGATED
Oops.

In other news, JPM and Jon Corzine are both completely innocent of anything. But at least the CFTC can say it has done its duty of punishing transgressors and all is now well.
