Actually I have been using your Davit Pivot V2 since several weeks ago. But I don't realize the default setting for broker like OANDA due to I made some profitable trading using default setting. LOL.

Here is my latest setting for broker GMT +3

I see some good support and resistance using that setting. But you should update H1 Candle Value every week. Don't forget to set Broker's Candle to FALSE.
I try to do the simple things first and then more complicated ones.

Key concept is being aware of turning zones
61 specially 78 zone
Google Scott Carney 786 fib you'll get interesting results. 78Fib is not even on Fib Meta tool default setting and many traders are unaware of its significance.
"0.786 Retracement
The 0.786 retracement is the square root of the 0.618. The 0.786
retracement is the next critical area to examine, after the 0.618 has been
clearly violated. The 0.786 is a vital Fibonacci number because it is often
the last chance reversal area before retesting the original price point. Price
action that does not reverse from the 0.786 usually will retest, and often
break past the original starting point. Therefore, 0.786 failures are
significant because the stop loss limit will be clearly defined by the original
starting point and relatively small in comparison to the potential reversal.
The 0.786 retracement is fairly unknown in the industry, although I
believe that more technicians are becoming aware of its significance. In my
opinion, it is a crucial Fibonacci number, since it is one of the last harmonic
ratios before retesting a trends prior high or low and it can provide a clear
indication of the future direction based upon the price action at the number.
Another reason the 0.786 is a valuable Fibonacci number is because it
can often gauge potential opportunities, especially when the surrounding
market noise (information) suggests that the set-up is to be avoided. I
have observed many situations, where the information in the media is quite
contrary to what the price action at the 0.786 is indicating. If a stock is
trending strongly, the 0.786 projection frequently can serve as a key reversal
point, despite such contrary information. The following illustrations and
examples will elucidate this concept."

Well noted, Davit.

But Actually I'm still learning to find good level for my TP.
I closed my position while TDI crossed but I realized I closed my position too early.
Sometimes I put TP to next pivot level but price changed the trend before touched that level.
But profit is still profit and I like this system

Leesco'. Since following this thread, not only have I gained substantial profit but, more importantly, I have 'saved' profit from NOT entering trades. There several instances, since joining this thread where I would have taken a trade, but kept out because of Davits knowledge. After losing 2/3 demo accounts, a wise trader told me that NOT taking a position IS taking a position. Stay with it, abide by the rules and you'll be fine.

Terrible ADP
Hello, Davit!

When you spot a setup at an important pivot level, do you go take a look at HTFs? Or you just take that setup, regardless of what the HTFs are saying, because you have complete faith in your PP system?
