The pivot point bounce trading system uses a brief term timeframe and also the customary daily pivot points, and trades the value moving toward, so bouncing off of any of the complete or half way pivot points.

​

• Pivot points area unit support and resistance levels that area unit calculated using the open, high, low, and shut of the previous mercantilism day. The pivot points embrace the pivot point itself and 6 full support and resistance points and area unit jointly remarked because the pivot points. once the value approaches a pivot point (especially for the primary time in every direction), it'll have a tendency to reverse, and it's this reversal that's utilized by the pivot point bounce trading system.

• The default trade uses a five minute OHLC (Open, High, Low, and Close) bar graph is used from our real time chart pages, and also the daily pivot points. The default trading time is any time that the market is open, except for best results the market ought to move, like throughout the morning or once 2 PM.

• The following tutorial steps use the keen commodities market, however precisely the same steps ought to be used on whichever markets you're trading with this trade.

• Watch the market, and wait till the value is moving toward a pivot point. For buy trade, the value bars ought to be creating new lows as they move towards the pivot point, and for a sell trade the value bars ought to be creating new highs as they move towards the pivot point.

• Wait for the value to the touch the pivot point, that happens once value trades at the pivot point price.

• Enter your trade once the high (or low) of the primary value bar that fails to form a new low (or high) is broken. the subsequent list shows the steps needed for each long and short entries :

​

Long Trade

 

1. value bar touches the pivot point

2. ensuant value bar fails to form a new low

3. ensuant value bar breaks the high of the previous value bar

Short Trade

 

1. value bar touches the pivot point

2. ensuant value bar fails to form a new high

3. ensuant value bar breaks the low of the previous value bar

​

The entry in a very short trade is once the following value bar breaks the low of the entry bar say at R1, with a target of Pivot and S1, and a default stop loss of the mid-point between R1 and R2. The stop loss is adjusted to use either the mid-point between R1 and R2, or the high (or low) of the entry bar because the stop loss, relying upon the market being listed.
 

Wait for the value to trade at your target or at your stop loss, and for either your target or stop loss order to urge stuffed. The pivot point bounce trade will take anyplace from a couple of minutes to one or two of hours to succeed in your target or stop loss. relying upon the market being listed, the target may be adjusted to be successive pivot point, and also the stop loss may be adjusted to interrupt even at an appropriate time.
 

If your target order has been stuffed, then your trade has been a winning trade. If your stop loss order has been stuffed, then your trade has been a losing trade.
 

Repeat the trades as repeatedly as necessary, till either your daily profit target is reached, or your market isn't any longer active.

How to use Woodie's Pivot Points

The formula employed in the calculation of Woodie Pivot Points are:
 

R4 = R3 + range

R3 = H + 2 * (PP - L) (same as: R1 + RANGE)

R2 = PP + range

R1 = (2 * PP) - LOW

PP = (HIGH + LOW + (TODAY'S OPEN * 2)) / 4

S1 = (2 * PP) - HIGH

S2 = PP - range

S3 = L - 2 * (H - PP) (same as: S1 - RANGE)

S4 = S3 - range
 

Where R1 through R4 are Resistance levels one to four, PP is that the Pivot point, S1 through S4 are support levels one to four, range is that the High minus the Low for the given timeframe (usually daily).

One of the key variations in calculating Woodie's Pivot point to different pivot points is that this session's open value is employed within the PP formula with the previous session's high and low. At the time-of-day that we have a tendency to calculate the pivot points on this web site in our Daily Notes we have a tendency to don't have the gap value thus we have a tendency to use the Classic formula for the Pivot point and vary the R3 and R4 formula as per Woodie's formulas.

How to use Demark Pivot Points

The formula utilized in the calculation of the Tom DeMark "Pivot Points" are:
 

The value of X within the formula below depends on wherever the close of the market is.
 

If close < Open then X = (H + (L * 2) + C)

If close > Open then X = ((H * 2) + L + C)

If close = Open then X = (H + L + (C * 2))

R1 = X / 2 - L

PP = X / 4 (this isn't an officer DeMark range however just a reference supported the calculation of X)

S1 = X / 2 - H

Where R1 is that the higher Resistance level, PP is that the Pivot point, S1 is that the lower support level.
