The ACD Method

Anyone catch this move because I sure didn't lol

I had some bullish reversal signals in energy and oil on Tuesday but decided to ignore it and stayed short and lost all gains Now it is difficult decision, I hate when this happens. Yeah yesterday was crazy day, SPY printed 213! Lots of weekly A ups.

Natty sub $3?

Is there any market you would spread NG against?

Nope.

 

[Maverick74]

Nope.

Sorry, not much more to expand on there. The only thing you can spread really against natty is power.

My Gold (GLD) NL’s went from a little tease short term positive starting on 12/10 to a nasty little tumble. It’s now short term neutral (most recent 5 days are: -11, -11 and -5 today) and the 30 day re-confirmed negative on Friday. Worse, today was a confirmed WAD. However my MAD is 112.39 and today’s low was 112.41. Is it just teasing here too? Or, more ugly to come?

Mav, some questions if I may.

1) Which futures spreads would you recommend for beginners? Some are apparently easy to lose your shirt on. I have dabbled with CL calendar spreads, slow moving at that time.
2) Are you familiar with any of these books?

If you're ever in the mood to write a long piece on ACD and Futures spreads, it would be most welcome.

Hey Mav,
Have you had a chance to put some thoughts together?

Hey Mav,

On spreads? I think there is quite a bit of info on here regarding spreads, but if you have some specific questions, i'll take a shot!

Mav, if you are saving the comments on futures spreads for what you write later, could you give me an opinion on the books, assuming you are familiar with them.

Thanks Robert. I have those bits and pieces, what I'm hoping for is a magnum opus rather like the 3 pieces (2+1 answer actually) Mav did on Forex. There's so much value there I think it's about the best part of this thread.

I'll put it on my to do list today.
All good things to those who wait...

I'm sorry Mav,
justrading had asked you a while back and I never saw anything posted.
