    AMZN breaking out, (month and qtr levels). SHW new highs after a nice MAD trade, (been reviewing some of Fisher's strats in the book lately). LULU worked well off the weekly A down this week. Nice confirmed monthly there. Crude's numberline continues to look good despite yesterday's sell-off.

    Just some of what I'm looking at here. Others to note, SGI, The Q's looking like a buy soon, (tech in general).

  2. gotcha...sounds like you modified to suit your style...makes sense...i can see a similar pattern if i look at the data since the 15th...looks like +9...my 10day rolling would be a +7...so not too far off...it seems like simplifying the numberline probabaly works better for most ...i am tryin to chart a rolling numberline to see the bias change...seems like lots of ways to use the data

    No, my 10 day number was not a number line value. It's a measure of absolute A values. In other words, it measures volatility more then strength. There are many ways to use it. My day 5 rolling number line value for Gold is +10.

    BTW, I got the idea of the absolute 10 day indicator from someone on this thread. That was a great idea!

  4. So either A up or A down counts as 1. For a C day would you add 2 to the count? It would seem logical as that would be a pretty volatile day in itself.

    No a C day is a 1 too. I'm just measuring solid A confirmations. Btw, I think it was Ammo's idea. Just want to give credit where it's due.

    Some more number line fun...

    As you can see, yesterday was the target in the 30 day H&S pattern at a 30 day value of 0. Additionally, the 5 day line was getting a little oversold, (typically it bounces between +5/-5, but can stretch to +/- 10 as well.

    If the market holds here, we could be headed higher. Would love to see the 30 march back to +9, (Fisher's key value).

    Just FYI, series 1 is the 30 day, and series 2 is the 5 day.

    Coffee?

    Not sure, but KC looking like a failed qtr A down. Not a fantastic trade, (since I have it having confirmed the month A down)... Probably a better entry Friday, but only noticed it now...

    Thoughts anyone? My guess, (in order to make it "show me") would be to grab some on a confirmed weekly?

    The "failed" quarterly is a higher low given the prevailing downtrend there too.

  8. On what time-frames does the main thread contributors prefer for their own ACD application?


    Mav, it looks like you dabble w/ the daily charts.

    Quon, I can't tell w/ your spread trading setup.

    Kinggyppo, can't remember last time I saw a chart from you.


    If I messed any of the regulars, forgive me.
