Here's my two cents worth with what I have learned on this forum. If you are talking support and resistance, Yes, it does work. check out todays aud/usd chart below. The white lines are daily s/r. Notice the pin bar at 7:30 right at r1 and it goes almost to s1 and then bounces. About a 20 pip move, not bad, not great but I took it and am happy.

Also notice the double bottom that formed earlier when I was sleeping! Since I have incorparted them with the pin bars and the double high/low life has definately been better. Hope this helps some. Pipmon

Great links.....

You could also look for a broker that has Pivots as part of their software & track daily how the different currencies respond to the Pivot lines. If you use oscillators, note particularly their position as the market approaches the pivot line.

One more link:

As with all methods & indicators, make sure you demo & backtest to your satisfaction!!.

I am using Meta Trader 4 charts with a custom Pivot Line indicator.

I check this reading against:

http://www.actionforex.com

http://www.mataf.net/en/analysis-pivot.htm

....each morning. So either the reading are the same or the are out by 1/2 pips, thus creating a zone, rather than a 1 pip level.

I think it is important to consider the area a zone, rather than trying to pinpoint an actual pip level, since depending on what feed you are using, the calculation could be slightly out anyway.

I don't know how to send the code, though I could email the indicator to you.

There is also a Yahoo Group dedicated to MT and you can find various custom indicators there.

I think in MetaEditor you can use script for indicattor.I think you can send as a text,and than I could past it into Editor,thus creating it.But,maybe I`m wrong...

How did you get it?

Ok,I send you private message,so chek it.

Sent 2 your email, with installation instructions.

The readings usually match Action and Mataf, or within 1 pip. (see my earlier post).

I joined the yahoo group you mentioned, but it seems difficult to navigate and find what you are looking for.

I use metatrader also. Could you please e-mail me the code or script for pivot points also. It will be much easier than manually putting them in every chart, every day.

Thanks
Jimmy

The M's are mid points. The are in the exactly in the middle of the main pivot, support and resistance lines.

The others are Camarilla, which I do not use. To remove:

Right click on chart

Click on Indicator List

Then Pivot Points

Inputs Tab - Select false for Camarilla and Midpoints if you don't want them.

Be careful with freeby pivot indicators - some of them are very badly written with incorrect formulas, no consideration for Sunday data bars, no shift options etc etc. Compare the pivot data to mataf.net and see for yourself- some of the free packages are out by up to 20 pips on deep levels such as R3 and S3 -

Unless you KNOW your indicator is spot and and synched to your trading timeframe you'd be better off not bothering as you could be placing trades off levels which nobody else is looking at. FX AlgoTrader did an interesting article on free vs paid for pivots which looked at the accuracy of free systems.
