What Happen to Maverick74 (moderator)

Didn't want to start a whole new thread for this... but has anyone else noticed @Robert Morse hasn't been around in awhile? He's always here in the mornings. Vacation maybe, or I wonder if this zero commission trading that's spreading across the industry will hurt players like Lightspeed? Hope all's well either way.

IIRC his job now prohibits him from posting.

IIRC = ?
"If I recall correctly".
"Investment Industry Regulatory Compliance"
"International Integrated Reporting Council"

Well that sucks. It was nice to have someone here that was so personable with so much technical knowledge and experience. Oh well, glad to hear it wasn't a health issue or something like that.
Thanks for the reply.

dest is right, mav got a job at a trading firm and he is most likely no longer allowed to post here. The person who owns the firm used to post here and doesn't hold ET in very high regard.

I assume you're referring to garachen. If so, good for mav. I learned quite a bit from garachen. Too bad he threw in the towel here.

I wonder if he's still using Fisher's ACD method...

Not sure, but I do believe that a lot of algorithms probably use some clever objectified variation of it.

A variation of a breakout or a pullback? Yeah, I imagine so.

You guys do know that he posts on twitter very frequently?. Basically the same commentary on ACD, etc that he posted on here in years past.

When I suggested people read all his long posts again, I meant it.

Mav was never one to spoon feed people, but he did drop many a hint. You needed experience of ACD, including all the times it didn’t work, to catch what he was saying.

One time he gave an example of a +9 and you go short.

‘Nuff said.

Nah, I read Fisher’s book a couple of times, including when it first came out, and tested his ideas a bit. Not my thing.

Yup, because what Mav was trading started from the book, but in the end looked nothing like the stuff in the book.

Shorting a +9, tracking rate of change of the number line. Nuggets he wrote about.

I was tracking 2nd and 3rd order changes at one time, good stuff, then I got fed up with reduced volatility. I’m day trading now, don’t bother with the ACD stuff anymore, though I have adapted some of it to give me a directional bias.
