Me either.....it's gambling.....will the 'gap' close or not?......yes or no?......heads or tails?........That's gambling, not trading imo
each gap closes at some point.....statistical ....

anyway i dont trade them neither....bs

Nothing custom about this setup, it's just standard MT4 stuff. Rather than explain how I did it......how about I just attach my template for you. If you really, really want to know how I got both the RSI and MA in the same window, send me a PM

Thanks!

4115 seems to be a good support. A probable target, may not be today but it looks as if EU goes to test it. A clear break opens way to 3970.

Retest > continuation in play.

4150 needs to be broken

Hi T,

Do you use RSI 14 on the 1Hr I may be able to include this with RJ Daily Pivot idea for better odds of success.

Yes. RSI 14, but thats another strategy. If u use it with RJ template, use it as RJ suggested.

I use RSI for spotting divergences and reversals.

No, my EU DP was 4279 so no where near it, I had S1 at 4190. Could you give me your values for DP and S1 for today please, my pivot indicator is adjustable for start times so I will experiment with it to align with yours.

My DP is 4277 and S1 at 4185 so we are withing cooee!!

You may have misunderstood what I meant by a 'test of the DP' in my PM to you, and others. Give me a moment and I'll take a shot of todays Pivot trade and explain it. I'll post it here if that's ok T? There's a few people asked about this method so if I post it here they will all see the same thing.

I thought we had been in a downtrend for a few days, my RSI has not been above 60 for a while.

Ok....Today was not the easiest of days to trade using this method for two reasons...1, it's Monday......2, the PA opened midway between DP and S1, and it was quite a distance to either of those. It's still very trade-able, but it's not a great way to begin learning this system.

Look at the chart.

1. With hindsight, this would have been a good entry, especially when we see the stochastic so high. However, that was quite a weekend 'gap' we can see so I was content to wait and see what happens.

2. PA tested S1....hmmmm....interesting...it looks like the PA wants to go down and the stochastic is positioned midway, so we may miss out on a trade here.

3. The stochastic has reached it's highest point so far today and the PA just refuses to go any higher. For me, that's a test of the DP. Yes, it didn't get near the pivot, but it is still a valid test and I'm prepared to rish a 20 pip SL for a 70 pip gain.

4. Because the PA has crawled down to S2, I will (and did) take my profit 5 pips short of S2. If the PA had rushed down to S2 and blasted right through I would have moved my SL to +50 and targeted S3.

I must say though, that this was not an easy trade for this system today, unless you have been doing it for a while.

If you sat this trade out, good for you. There will be another chance tomorrow. Keeping your money in your pocket is a great position!!

I'll try and post live trade tomorrow and give you guys a hand.

We just had a test of a maroon trend line on my chart with close celow trend line, and another close below lower trend line of a symetric triangle.

Guess there is more beraishness ahead of us.

Hi RJ,

Thanks for posting that, I waited until Tokyo opened, by then the Stoch was down the bottom so I let it go.

Out of curiosity I turned on the mid points of my Pivot indo and MP S1 was 5 pips above the Tokyo opening bar High but by then the Stoch was 22 so no trade.

I had to go out so wasn't watching when you entered but I doubt I would have worked out that entry.

Early days RJ, I have got myself from a losing trader to a break even trader but I am finding the pivots are vastly under rated so have been doing better since relying more on them for SR.

My reaction when you posted your simple but strong method was Aha !! it suits my mentality and time frame, I will have to trade it mainly around Euro opening times but looking back over charts there are plenty of bounces off pivots that look encouraging.

Work in progress, no hurry

You're welcome. Things will become clearer as we progress......today wasn't a textbook day on any of the pairs that I trade. That's often the case after a large movement the (trading) day before, such as NFP.

We'll see some great opportunities though....they happen all the time
