He meant that you can't just take something in black and white from a book and suddenly build an ATM in your basement. Shit man, I wish for $30 I could go out and buy a money tree. I could have saved myself the 12k to 15k hours I have dedicated towards this over the last 7 years. I'm sure I could have filled that time with something else interesting.
BUT what is in the book is what your surrounding your trades with? ? Not saying simply take one chapter of the book only. What other component is there other than "news" such as the API is totally bullish and the market is fading lower you may not want to be a buyer on bad news because of a bullish number line?
I'm not sure what you are asking. The content of the book formed the foundation of my methodology. A foundation by it's definition though is just the bottom layer that holds everything together. I have levels upon levels upon levels on top of that. I'm not sure what you are even referring to with API, that stands for the American Petroleum institute. Maybe you are referring to good news bad action? That's not really ACD just a general axiom of markets.
I know what API stands for !! OMG I understand you don't want to collaborate. Thanks for trying tho I am assuming you are a professional trader, are you registered where we can see returns? Thank you
Trilogic, you come to this thread asking questions. Which I encourage completely. You make some effort to learn about the method, watch the videos. All that is great. I take time out of my day to help answer those questions which I actually enjoy doing oddly enough. Then you attack me. So here is the policy on this thread. I might be a dick on some other threads (in fact I'm pretty sure I am), but on this thread there is one purpose. To discuss this method. You can ask me whatever you want about it and I will do my best to answer it. But getting angry and defensive is not going to be effective here because I'm just not going to engage in that dialogue here. I'm doing that for the benefit of others who read the thread and don't want to have to be exposed to that stuff. So I will say this again, I did not understand your question. Let's forget about your API reference as maybe you meant to say CPI or something, fine. The comment about news did not register with me because there is nothing about news in this methodology. Mark's comment in the seminar about good news/bad action is not his. It was first discussed by Jesse Livermore in the book "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator". In that book, Jesse Livermore talked about the idea of price action and observing how stocks respond to news. That concept has been repeated by many people over the years including Fisher. He gave it a cute name, but the idea is the same. It's not a part of ACD which is why I was confused about the question since you referenced news and the book. I simply asked you to clarify your question. And telling me I don't want to collaborate where I have spent close to 6 years and 18k posts doing nothing but collaborating on this methodology, is kind of silly. I mean we have a guy on here who has practically wrote a 500 page book based on nothing but the posts on this thread. It's got everything but a table of contents. I have actually met people on this very thread and worked on various ACD projects with these individuals. I have spent god knows how much time responding to e-mails and PM's and even meet people in person. I have probably put more content about this method on this forum then any other person on any other method on any other thread. I'm not sure what I have not done here. I have stated repeatedly over and over and over again, that the secret to this method, that which is on a piece of paper locked away in a vault for no one to see. Well, I've revealed what is on that piece of paper to all readers of this thread. I've opened the vault. What is written on that piece of paper is, "work your ass off". That is my secret sauce. Hard work. That's it. Collect obscene amounts of data. Anaylze that data. Form theories, test those theories. Go back to the data, make improvements, make it better, optimize it, test it again. Analyze those results, do it again and again and again. This is usually the part in the post where guys quietly get out of their chair and leave the room. This is of no interest to most people. It's almost as if people are drawn to this forum and to trading in general to have to not work hard. Well, I'm sure there are other threads, other forums, other seminars, other books that will all lead them to the promised land of big returns and no effort. That stuff is really really easy to sell. But you won't find that here. You are going to have to roll your sleeves up, use the search function, make a lot of coffee, get out some paper, take some notes and be prepared to work. That method has seemed to work since the beginning of time. So again, if you want to rephrase your question, I'll be happy to answer it.
is the the start of the next 3 pages where multiple alais et er's come in like a lost tribe of genius's taking a break from there arduous day of collecting cans, and vent about not get called up after their jerry springer audition
Why does he or anyone owe you that information? Seriously, don't come into someone's thread with that kind of attitude and expect to be spoon-fed. It shows how immature and unprepared you are for the real world. Mav doesn't have to do anything he doesnt want to. He doesn't owe you anything. If you don't like the thread then simply leave.
Thank you, I understand. Do you trade professionally, do you make returns public ? I do, and not public info.... its a corporation that trades commodities not a fund. I look at ACD for short term personal trading not macro hedges for example
