    There is a hierarchy in the time preferences. The more recent time cycles have preference. For example, given a certain quarterly level, a monthly level will over ride the quarterly for the first half of the monthly cycle (2 weeks). A weekly level will over ride the monthly cycle for the first half of the weekly cycle (through wednesday). A daily level will over ride the weekly level for the first half of the trading day. This allows one to give more weight to more recent information. Also, it's what maintains the integrity of the ACD ecosystem. If it were the other way around, you would be forced to ignore valid active signals. You would also be forced to pick or choose which signals to follow. By allows voiding out the higher time signals for the more recent ones you force your mind to live in the present and deal with information at hand as it's happening now and not as it happened a month ago.

  3. "certain" is a specific word, so I assume you have done a couple decades work on this to determine certain ? wow

    Certain? Not sure which post that is from. I began this research in 2007 and have put more then 18k hours of work into it over that time period. The amount of data I have over this period is beyond staggering.

  5. I re read your post, what I think you are simply saying is that the shorter frames will override longer frames, certain I was thinking "set up" its not a "system" where you only buy :if" then" etc

  6. Stumbled upon this when I was looking around. It's for all you day traders out there. I find it interesting he uses volume as a tell, given that there are discussions elsewhere on ET where some say it is an essential element and others say it is useless. Like ACD I suppose, if you know how to use it it's good, if you don't, it's useless.

    And if any think it is pie in the sky, the original piece mentioned that he provided Bloomberg with some brokerage statements and his tax return for 2013 to support his claims.

    Almost all HFT firms use volume exclusively for their data mining. To use volume though you better have the data analysis skills to be able to extract signals from big data. There are tons of books on this now out there so it's not exactly a secret anymore.
