The ACD Method

[Maverick74]

Quote from KingDong130:

I only intraday trade equities, usually different ones each day (thus different A & C Values), and it continues to amaze me how these levels work

Being that this thread is about to cross the 900 strike in page count, I would say they most definitely do work!

C up? I have a minus 1 day for CL today. A down in the morning and a close AT the A up.

Fish stopped using pit close 1 year ago. They use cash close. I was using pit close and started noticing on their daily sheet cash close as closing price.

I asked them and they said they use cash close. I still keep pit close front and center.

Most of the days there is not much difference. But today CL hit high of 97.44 area. On RTH basis no C up, on cash close basis C up.

Maybe Shan can look over his shoulder and find out the secret. I think I remember reading on here that they sat next to each other...

He already knows the secret. And he likes what he sees.

He is under a gag order.

That's too bad. I thought he was doing really well with the ACD strategy. I try to help where I can.

I stand corrected. No C up today. Just checked Fisher daily number line.

They have it at 0.

Recently for me is within a year, in fact it is funny but that stuff all lined up kinda on this thread. Remember when I got enthusiastic and told you that this year is gonna be a very good year? Luke has trouble, serious trouble, with putting events together, but you have been a huge help Mav by keeping this thread alive and here lately by posting your intermarket analysis.

You are quite right, the truth is out there!

I'm relatively new to using ACD in my trading, but have noticed recently that there may be merit to tracking not just the net macro number line values, but also the sum of the absolute values.
By looking at the sum of the absolute values, you have a measure of the amount of trendiness the stock is exhibiting intraday, as well as giving you a quantitative measure of how often the stock is making good As on an intra-day basis.
So a stock that has 5 days in a row of +2, -2, +2, 0, -2 would be given a total value of 8 looking at the absolute value scale (and a 5 day numberline value of 0), and any confirmed A - up or down - should be taken more seriously, vs. a stock that has shown a tendency to close inside the opening range based on this same absolute value scale.
What are your thoughts?
