Always keep in mind of the 50% retrace or you just might not like the outcome of your entry.

The Sunday Candle pops in at 15:30 ET and that is the central pivot for the weekly calculation
dove,
This goes back to my question about the fractured nature of FX data (you might have missed the post here, regarding pip accuracy of pivots given fractured data feeds).

We know the interbank market opens at 17:00. I've never heard of any significance of 15:30 ET Sunday. FXTrek's Intellichart opens at 14:45 ET. I could probably find 5 other feeds that open at various times between 15:00 and 17:00. Is 15:30 a set standard, or just part of your feed and thus your calculations?

One of 3 things will happen on the 50% retrace (1) retrace past the 50% line 15 pips or so and then turn and head for the next pivot... (2) retrace back where it came from, in this case it is the weekly central and then turn or (3) retrace back where it came from and then continue on to the next pivot..... Be careful at the 50% retrace or you could get caught.

The 50% of pips between each pivot including the weekly...... This is why I do not trade if the spread is less than 30 Pips between any of the pivots unless it is a drive and I know it will continue through the pivot.

I do not know, but I do know when the actual time for this market to open is 15:30 ET on Sunday and the actual closing of this market is Friday at 17:00 ET.... This information goes back to when I first stared in the 4X over two years ago and it still remains the same......

So ask me this: How does market, today, play off the weekly central at the 114.38? Because that is exactly where this drive took off at.

True. But if we're ever to calculate accurate pivots on our own, it would be important to get such details down.

How many of you even have feeds that begin at the supposed standard of 15:30 Sunday? I know not a single MT4 broker that does.. Interbank or ECNs, no help there. Only obscure feeds like FXTrek/Intellicharts..

If you would notice - the 3 minute candle open and took off on this drive down exactly at the 114.38.
