Lag indicators such as moving averages or oscillators can
help to confirm a trend and put an entry if it has begun, while the headline
can help you to see where the price movement could continue if they continue on
the move or will hold the rank. Today we will show you how you can use pivots,
not only to identify trends but also to Entries and aims to recognize.
What is a pivot point?
Pivot points are calculated "tipping points",
along with likely support and resistance levels based on the previous highs,
lows and closing prices of a selected period. This extremely strong price-based
level generator can help to identify whether a movement could reach a high
point or a turn. Sometimes they are referred to as parquet pivot points because
historically many traders on the trading floor these numbers were always in
front of him in order to predict important price points of the day.

for the price movement of the day most of the time. Support and resistance are
presented accordingly as red and green lines. In these areas you can
concentrate when you use this tool.
Pivot Trading Strategy
If a trend is identified, you can use the additional level
of profit targets and the contrasting levels as stop. There are numerous
methods to identify the trend. If you wish to remain as the only indicators on
your chart at the pivots, then you can increase pivot lines and show an upward
trend as the opposite of a downward trend.
In a downtrend, the price approaching the pivot up / rich
and then bounce towards the support level as a daily profit target. In the
downtrend the example above, with 10 trading days in the GBP / USD, the price
hit the support level (goals in a down trend) in 7 days, while the resistance
(stops in a down trend) was taken only 2 days. This will help you to realize
that the price behavior near the pivot, which begins to move in the direction
of the trend back, reach a goal with high probability.
In an uptrend, the price movement favors the resistance
levels during the price increase to almost magnetically. The support can be
used as a stop of the day, and if you decide to take advantage of the entire
trend, you can move your stop or pull on the support level on the following day
. The USD / CHF also shows a scenario in which the stop has been reached only
three times in a sample of 10 days.
As you add to your chart Pivots
The pivot point formula is simple . Pivot Points note the
high, low and closing price, which are regarded as the most important courses
to generate Pivot Levels by which we can act. Here's the formula for you:
P = (H + T + S) / 3 = pivot point
This is easier than it sounds, as this is a predetermined
indicator that you can add.
Once the pivot - levels are added, you can wait for the
price action moves according to a trend towards this level.
