Hi guys,
I've noticed on your charts that some of you have pivot and S/R lines running straight thru days, like mine a some of you have them shifted after midnight,like I guess it supposed to be.
I've tried to play with some settings, like changing time zone,but unsuccessfully.
Any idea,how to set this indicator properly?

I think you are in the wrong thread, perhaps its best if you ask your question in the pivot trading thread.

Short on EA.

Entered on H4 instead of H1 so missed out on around 50 pips cos of this TF, so due to this I entered with lower risk and will stack more on later if this move continues in favor.

Well my intuition showed me and I should not have entered. Closed this trade for a loss -37 pips.

Hi MRDFX,

i too entered on the signal, but later closed it with +25 pips, coz i felt it will go north as i saw bullish divergence at that time.
Actually im curious to ask you whether you close that position manualy or let it to hit SL?

Do you look at higher timeframes for confirmation?

I looked at the demo trades for the ea and there it seemed the losses could have been avoided by looking at the direction for daily, weekly, monthly.

No, I disagree...stay tuned and take the next upcomig signals on that pair and increase the lotsize moderately in steps...

Happy trading, jdva

yes, the EA definetly blew himself up in the last two days. From a 10% gain over the week to a drop of 20% in 2 days. Most of the drop could have been avoided by a trend filter.

OK, it seems for eurcad which went into a loss then the EA should have waited with the entry.

The EA is a bit quick on the trigger for H1.

I don't do that, but you could although it might be difficult to confirm any set ups on lower TF.

By looking on higher TF like D1, W1 etc you could find that a pair might be in a bullish trend but on H1 there is a bearish reversal confirmation and if you had to cross check D1/W1 you would miss the trade.

This is a trend reversal strategy where we are looking to catch the end of a trend and beginning of a new one, and looking to higher TF will not work in this case.

according to post 1, pivot level are important to this strategy and when I've noticed,that people post charts with different pivot lines and I asked you to post pivot indicator setting,your reaction is dislike my post.
Way to go, OP.

I will tell you why. You keep asking about an indicator which is not used in this strategy and I did direct you to the relevant thread to get assistance.

Use the pivot indicator and template found on post 1, if you can't do that simple thing then perhaps this strategy is not for you.
