Remember, only untested virgin pivot levels are considered.

Euro example. Examples are everywhere. Default daily pivot levels are used.

NGK5-NGM5(May-June) spread I need to close this position no later than 25th and if it stays at current level until then I will lose some money. This spring was colder than usual and Trump tariff also has affected the spread. As you can see, it's diverged significantly from the historical averages from February..... Interesting.
May-June spread of 2026 natural gas spread. It repeated again and I made some money again. Perhaps this is one of the easiest ways to make money from retail side but unfortunately it seems nobody's interested. They want excitement and thrill of day trading and fall in 95% losers statistics. I regret I somewhat neglected this cash cow nearly for two years because I was fully involved in day trading. I recoup losses in day trading with hard earned money I made from spread trading again and again. How stupid I am. I will go back to spread trading from the new year and day trading will be remained only as a hobby. Enough is enough.

If it can come far down, it will become a nice stop hunting + pivot test.... which is a high provability trade I can say...

Win & loss, PnL is positive. Understanding their game plan is helpful. What you see is NOT what you believe.

If it take the stops above the top, it's likely to reach the previous high, if not the pivot level.... Yes, the nature of the market is EVIL ....
