Quoting merlinDislikedi hear this a lot, discretionary guys doing well with pivot points. its it working out for you? it makes sense to use them because a lot of traders/funds are looking at those points as the support and resistance.Ignored
I trade pivots in conjunction with fibs, chart patterns, trendlines and other important s/r levels, as well as candlestick patterns and divergence.
With any of the above mentioned confluence is key.
And yes it is working.
