    I posted Fords number lines a little bit back, went short at 17.19. Pretty sweet trade with almost no heat. Sold a 1/3 today.

  2. Another nice Failed A up in the Yen futures today. If you had the conviction to stay with the trade it comfortably hit the ATR target with zero real heat.

    Yearly A down in crude around 84. Rbob sitting right at the yearly A down and heating oil already blew through it.

    Lots of failed A lines (RB, HO on monthy ADown and Qtr) and DX failed on monthly AUp.

  6. Add to that a perfect failed WAUp on the ES. Amazing stuff going on with CL too lately in addition to the products. Still trying to get a handle on the cracks and calendars but everything seems to be fitting right in.

    I remain, an ACD kid in candy land :D

    What did you see that made you fade the weekly A level in ES?

  8. I did not fade it. I am not there yet. I am still focused on intra-day levels but trying to move up a notch so I make notes on the higher timeframes everyday in the few markets I track and share them here when I get too excited about my hypothesis playing out as anticipated. My WADn is around 26-29 so that was a hell of a failed WAUp and as of right now we could be setting up for a failed WADn.

    But from my notes since yesterday: The order flow/price action during the move up from 65 to 71 early yesterday was weak and unconvincing. Price failed WAUp @71 3 times and then my order flow stuff confirmed around 67 on the pullback to the MPvt low once we broke down through it. Since 1:30 CT yesterday, there were 4 shorting opportunities per my notes from pullbacks to significant ACD levels.

    I still don't know how people hold a trade through ~10 point retraces so I really don't have it in me to trade any timeframe higher than intra-day yet. Until I figure out how, I am making notes.

    ... And, CL just blew past a couple of my ADns. Not sure if anyone has explored the idea of having multiple ORs during a time frame - like multiple intra-day ORs and so forth. Its interesting how one builds on top of the other.

    I guess I'm just not seeing same thing you are (ACD weekly wise) altough I've only been tracking weekly/monthly levels for a number of months now and I don't give them as much weight as my daily levels which I use for my NLs.

    I don't trade the ES but do follow the SPY closely and fwiw I don't even have a weekly A up being attempted, and my weekly A down confirmed today at around 195.75 which coincidentally or not was the same level as my A up on the day so I decided to put on a short on at 195.29 with 195.75 being my stop. I got out at my daily A down level but left some nice money on the table. My monthly A down is approaching so my next trade is probably going to be to try and catch a failed A down if I can get it at the same level.

    Always good to hear what others are seeing this thread tends to die down from time to time.

    Yeah for me also SPY did not even attempt to move up after OR and confirmed weekly A down.
