Hello all

I use ProRealTime charts in the UK and they don't offer the semafore indi, so I am just using the zig zag for trend identification. Aside from putting pretty dots on highs and lows, which I guess you can do manually, am I missing out on anything by not having the semafore?

Thanks in advance.

By the way - great to see your successes, Paulus. I followed your posts in the 1-2-3 thread with great interest.

What pivot indi and setting are you using?

I can't make up my mind whether GMT or US Session close (5.00pm EST) is best for plotting pivots so I have them both plotted.

My daily pivots are reading 1.6673-5 (both within a pip or 2).

Your daily pivot is reading 1.6516.

Maths was never my strong point, but thats 150 pips different.

If you're right and I'm wrong, that makes my lines completely irrelevant. Visa versa if I'm right.

Cheers.

Just to add to the confusion here's my pivot, completely different to both of yours but I'm happy with it as it tends to play its expected part in the daily drama

The only difference in the zig zag indicator and the 3 level semafor is that it plots 3 different zig zags at once...

Hi Stoch,

I think the point Dredding is trying to get across to everyone is it is not so much that we all use or have the exact same pivot points on our charts it is how do you view/see price action when it gets to those points. It is important you understand the set ups/rejections when price gets to lets say the daily pivot point. It doesn't matter if my daily pivot point is 10 pips different from yours. What matters is that I can recognize a price rejection at the daily pivot point and know how to trade the price action and make positive pips. I used the daily pivot point as an example but this goes for any pivot point, fib line, cam line or any other line that you feel is significant on your chart. Keep in mind even if you use the exact same indicator the values will change a few pips based on your brokers time feed and data feed. I hope this helps some of you who are struggling with what type of lines to use on your charts.

Just to prove the point that any pivot points will work let's take a look at the current 5 min EU chart.

Note on the top of my chart we have R1, daily pivot value (DPV) and the resistance line from the weekly high of the previous week. Price has traveled 150 pips from the low of the day to challenge the R1 level and previous weekly high. Note that price doesn't quite make it to the R1 level and starts to pullback. Also note that price has hit the previous weekly high at this point. For me I see confluence with the DPV and weekly high pullback. The first rejection of a significant line, in this case the previous weekly high, I'll call a pullback because we don't have a conformation of the rejection yet. Now as we progress you'll see I have marked 3 candles with green arrow. These are all possible entry points, with the first one confirming the rejection of the previous weekly high. I missed the first entry point but got in on the second entry point.

What is important here is to recognize the rejection of a significant level. Making sure that level matches someone else's chart is just wasting your time.

did not properly assess this before getting in so I'm actually pretty confident I will get stopped out so just posting losers as well though it isnt a loser yet...but equity will cover this loss and I will just go in the other direction where I should have been looking to begin with...
