thanks - so the Support and resistance levels are not standard pivot s/r but based on some Fib values.

Did you ever check it with any standard pivot?

Not sure just searched for pivot - http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...62#post1427962

did not check if it is really standard.

From the way: balrog charts look he might be using something like this.


Maybe something related:

Since forex is a continuous 24 hour market, the cut-off point for each day is arbitrary.

(One reason why I do not like so much stuff above H1 but still use higher TF. if you look at systems based on H4 people get at times quite different entry condition: e.g skip through 4 Hour Strategy (MACD) http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=14630)

I have checked it with standard pivots and it seems that sometimes they line up and other times they don't but they do use different calculations from standard pivots....

Looking at possibly shorting the aud usd as the 15 minute 50 sma is turning over along with the hour turning over and the fifteen down with the thirty if I'm not mistaken and the smas stacked to the downside....

I guess one has to settle for something and hope the best

Anyway, for the Price touch pivot lines I guess I will use a similar calculation to the one you posted -- maybe I check out the one from balrog: (do you have the source file?

Unfortunately not.. can't find it either on the THV thread, although I only quickly glanced thru the attachments.

They use a different calculation from standard pivots so they are not meant to line up with standard pivots....

I know - but I just had to laugh (which is good at times) because your sentence: it seems that sometimes they line up and other times they don't

reminded me a bit of the dilemma we TA Traders are in: whatever we try to find an advantage - at times it just does not work out.


BTW: I decided to implement the pivot stuff - probably quite soon after the firs MA test stuff works in the MasterALERT.

Yeah for every advantage you gain some disadvantage with pretty much anything trading related and not... (and so we must always find the balance)...or so I suppose...

--Thats good news I look forward to it...

daily fib retrace level: do you mean by this a line from the fib pivot or a separate fib retrace level.

if separate - would you also suggest maybe to implement - Price touch Daily fib levels ?

fib retrace level as in I go to the daily time frame and apply the fibonacci tool to get the levels to be used as support and resistance on the smaller time frames... and if you could implement that it would be great as the daily fib levels are my favorite to use as true support and resistance levels....

1. You draw them at the previous days candle is that right?

2. how many fib values you use only.

3.Also the one which are higher than 100 like: 161.8,261.8,423.6

4. only daily based fib or the other TF too

I think I understand but it would be helpful if you show a pic with some explanations.

As there are many ways to do it.

like swing high, swing low: I know what you mean but it is a too flexible term.
I guess you will define swing high, swing low by your semaphor - but that's just a guess.


Maybe from my old ZZ indicator something like the MTF pic:

What are the rules for it:

seems you use the Big Semaphore points to define swing high, swing low.

1.but why not between the two red ones I marked? seems that it bounced already once before
