Previously bounced from .86082. Let see if it can go past then there is potentially 50-70 pips on the up side. On the downside, last time I went to .8450 area after bouncing from here.

Thank you for that Davit. I can see what you mean by that. AUS/USD is up and USD/CAD is down overall. Aud/cad currently towards the higher end of the range for today. So, there is possibility of retracement.

Hi Davit,

I love that game/exercise. Was not able to be on the forum over the weekend. Would you consider engaging us in that way again? I know my answers are simplistic.

Generally its been my observation that things that come free generally rarely taken seriously.So my time is valuable to me.

Humanity fucked up for too long, thinking they can control nature and live against nature as much as they want. We want better air? Someone else better will not use their car, but not me! I gotta drop of the kids for school, they might get lost on the way walking there for one kilometer! Someone might put their eco-sheriff hat on and avoid too many flights but I will fly across Europe whenever I want! We want no more plastic in the sea? Oh, some green hippie might live their uncool lives and miss out on all the heavenly glory of 21st century capitalism, but I will get my plastic bags full at the cheap stores every friggin' weekend!

It all comes back, it does not surprise me because I have said so for years. But it is still sad. Sad for those who have enough reason to see all this and are ready for a better world by their educated character and behaviour. But I am not sorry for all the morons who only know ego first. If I think of them, the world might as well come to an end and I do not care! Hope I am wrong and some miracle happens to humanity! I doubt it though when people here still laugh at safety measurements the government tries to enforce ...
Fix up, trade sharp ...

I get that, too bad for us. I had family responsibilities so had my laptop closed over the whole weekend. Thanks for doing it though, even if just that time.

I'm going back to Mark D also. Getting my head back in the game. I see your exercise like this: stick your neck out, act on the edge you see. Even if the 'answer' isn't 'right', you did act based on what you saw. It is a game of probabilities, combining the edge of pivots, what you see with taking all the opportunities you can that fit the parameters. That is my goal. My principal is smaller so I am trying do this with smaller lots.

Dear Davit and Fellow Pivoters,

I want to share my personal summary of my Pivot Trading style written by PM to a fellow Newbie. Please I invite any addition or detraction from my Pivot style and opinions:

"Hi B,
Thanks I am feeling better.
Now, how I trade is keeping it simply looking at D1 to M30, then only using mini-trades of 0.01 to .04 lots with TP at 5 Pips to 20 Pips depending on my Margin % from 250 to 350 at all times as possible, The reason for this is I use the the Pivot rules by Davit to keep my DD low as possible so I avoid a Margin call.
Also, I use Davit's suggested cross currency pairs after looking at the Majors to help guide me and keeping out of Red News 1 hour before and 2 hours after before I take a new trade.
With a $1000 Demo Oanda account, I keep my small trades to 3 to 5 only if possible, again keeping Margin% >= 250.
Lastly, I try to watching the fundamentals remembering that the MMs will try to stop you out to use the liquidity to trade against you using a soft SL or none at all !
Finally, besides having that "Edge" as above, I will not trade on Fear or Greed and keeping my day job to help quell any Fear or Greed emotions like the 95% of the retail traders and staying with the top 5% of the winners who know that the PL are always random, but winning >> losing with the late MDs psychology of trading - see his free youtube videos and go over my summaries that are on the files in the section of Davit's Pivot Trading on FF. The rest is based on my experience and intuition !
I hope you do not mine that I am placing my summary of my trading on Pivot Trading as a summaries to the other Newbies !
Yours,
John
Addendum: I do try to keep all my trades with The Edge down to 5 to 10% of my account that is currently a Demo again because I had to close my Active Oanda to pay urgent medical bills. "

Might work out but shorting 2 commodity pairs while 3rd CAD is gaining is not logical considering both NU AU are at WP
Not something I would of taken

CAD NZD AUD move in unison more or less difference is split among them but against USD they tend to have united front.This has lot to do with commodities crude going up I bet iron ore going up dairy going up.

This is purely my thought process trades can still work out.
