In NinjaTrader you just need to select the Typical Price as input series. The resulting moving average is a pivot moving average.

Thanks for the advice

so I should plot the PMA based on the 60min or the daily?

also are you on stock twits?

take care

Up to you, it depends on how you want to use it.

Want to use it the same way mark fisher explains it in his book....(im learning it for the first time)


Thanks man......when I am in germany I will buy you a beer

Hey FAt Tails,



Should I use the SMA or EMA when attempting to plot the PMAs?

Both is possible, but again, what do you intend to do with it?

Moderator Notice Let's return this thread back to topic of Mark Fisher ACD trading. For any other topics, use appropriate threads.

to guage whether the market is bearish bullish neutral or confused etc


also to make the "fake out" trades mark fisher is referring in his book.


I'm just trying to follow what fisher teaches in his book.

Only problem is the platform I am using won't let me use PMA's so I am not sure how I can use them (maybe run a demo copy of Ninja while im trading with Firetip)

Not to rain on anyone's parade but, in a recent webinar I saw someplace I think it was Traders Exclusive, Fisher admits that he no longer uses the ACD method. He has found that in todays' futures markets the methodology is no longer valid. I think the webinar might be archived. I'm just trying to save you guys hours of learning a method that isn't of use even to it's creator.

not surprising....nothing lasts forever...especially in trading

Fat Tails ADN bands and ADR targets have helped me

Oh great, I just read the whole book.......thinking it is a useful system.


What is so different to todays futures markets compared the 2001 era


Thanks for the heads up though..... I am attempting a manual backtest in excel.


I am assuming that webinar is only available to the "elite" members?
