Aug. 09, 2014

August 7, 2014 The GBP/JPY had a big spike up ahead of the European open before once again re-settling below the pivot level of 172.305.

Trading Using Retracements back up to a Notable Price Level

Aug. 07, 2014

August 6, 2014 One of the nice things about pivot points that are spaced far apart is that the market will tend to be sensitive to them to a greater degree. When there is no other obvious immediate intraday level for price to hang on, it makes reaching a pivot point a rather notable event, […]

EUR/USD Trading for July 29, 2014 (1/2 ITM)

Aug. 02, 2014

A bit of a unique set-up occurred when I first began trading, in that it’s not one that comes up frequently. Starting on the 2:10(AM EST) candle, a series of consecutive wicks occurred on each five-minute candle, showing an inability to break this particular price level before the daily pivot. Before the end of the […]

Small Pivot Point Range Trading: 3/3 ITM

Jul. 31, 2014

July 28, 2014 The benefits of having a tightly constricted set of pivot points is that the market may provide several areas of congestion.

Jul. 27, 2014

July 26, 2014 Trading when the news is released as a binary options trader can be risky. In forex trading, managing risk is relatively simple in that you can adjust your stop-loss to a given pip value and if you’re wrong and your stop is hit then you’re out just a little bit. If you […]
