PIVOTS AND THE FOREX

The Pivot techniques work well in markets with a wide daily trading range, such as the Forex. Pivot lines steers traders away from “no man’s land” and identifies “high activity” areas in which the equity has a high probability of reversal. These areas are important trading zone watched daily by floor traders and computer trading systems.

The levels for the trading ranges and pivots are the support and resistance levels of the market in the next time interval. It is important to note that the predicted levels only give the range in the next time interval.

They do not indicate when the levels will be reached by the currency price action. The pivot is a level at which the underlying asset can be expected to change direction and/or move rapidly away from.

DAILY PIVOT DATA

My pivots program provides not only Pivot, R1, R2, S1, and S2, but also the M1, M2, M3, and M4 points as well. It is common to find many traders calculating only the Pivot, R1, R2, S1, and S2 levels.

In the Forex market, however, you will find my additional points of support and resistance to be very significant indeed. These pivot data points are published daily and is available for access to you once you start the course. The Forexmentor video course also shows you how to calculate the Pivot points using our proprietary Pivot Calculator.

After you have calculated the pivot numbers for the day, place horizontal lines on your 15 minute and 1 hour charts at the pivot numbers for the day, or at least as many lines as your chart has room for. These pivot points will guide your trading throughout the day.
