Understanding Forex Pivot Points

So what is pivot point? Pivot Points are those price levels that are most likely to act as levels of support and resistance on any given trading day. When the price moves through the pivot point on increased volume it is most likely to continue current trend, and if the price hits the known pivot point but is unable to move through it is most likely to reverse the current trend.

The most widely used formula for calculating pivot points is as follows,
Pivot Point = (H + L + C)/3
when
H = previous day’s high,
L = previous day’s low, and
C = previous day’s close


When the trending/declining price is not able to move through the known pivot point after two or more tries there is a good probability that it will start to decline/falling.
It will become Swing trading method which a trader is waiting for a price to reverse after hitting S/R level is called swing trading.

On the other hand if the trending/declining price has easily moved through known Support/Resistance level there is a good probability that it will continue to trending/decline. Trading method in which a trader is looking for a price to continue to move in the same direction after moving through Support/Resistance level is called breakout trading. For the same reason, the most influential pivot points are those that are used by majority of traders.

Trading Forex Without any Indicators

Maybe you doubt it, but since 2006 I do my forex trading without any Indicators using Daily20pip system, just playing around with OHLC (Open High Low Close) data and I still in this game today. Don’t you realize the present of lagging indicator out there?

You already know that 95% of the forex trading public failing to make any money, a lagging Indicator is like a death trap, like a path that guide you to the wrong line! That’s why you should be carefull in choosing Indicators inside your trading tool box.

Anybody can understand price action and this not really difficult. Most people just don’t want to take the time to really understand how to read the movement of the market. Everybody always wants the holy grail magical indicator that people can just plug into their trading platform and it’ll do all the work for you, but sorry it doesn’t exist out there!

Forex trading is about a proccess, no overnight instant rich scheme there, it need learning by doing, patience and dicipline. I do agree with some Indicator that help you manage your trade, but again be carefull with the lagging Indicator and just don’t depend on it. You need to have a chart movement reading skill, by understanding the OHLC data it will help you to know where the market direction and how much trading range might happen.
