Re: ACD Method

Thanks MRW.
I tried to say as much in the related thread where several traders were trying to garner Fisher videos.
Basically, in the 'real' ACD, the entry techniques are pretty much as advertised / published (with some undisclosed exceptions for certain conditions). But how the trades are managed once triggered is when the 'real' tricks begin - and that info is generally undisclosed. Adjusting sizing to runs (+ and -) is also another important area where real time particulars are not disclosed.

Fisher is no dummy. He knows published authors can raise money easier than can unknowns.
Learning to copy his attitudes is of probably of far greater benefit than learning to copy his methods ...

hth all

I agree. Learning how to add to your winners is a topic that is rarely discussed by ACD Traders and it is a important part of the ACD Methodolgy.

Re: ACD Method

for those that are still curious the opening range is a short term average of the range of the first pivot price. not to be confused with pivot points. And while the strategy can be used for longer time frames it was designed for day/swing trading using intraday data.
