Linnux and JLongo, sorry to be making the commentary for your contributions to my article here in the forum, but it happens that I am not able to respond to comments made by other members, it gives me an error with the Internet connection?!?!?!?).
Yes it is true that the greater the distance between the price and Pivot much more effective this strategy can be. Also there is the issue of Time frame that is being used. As mean the article in TF is the ideal MN distance above 120 pips, when we speak of W1 above 75 pips already could be "good" trades in D1 I would say above 30 pips already worth risking. The trick then becomes the TPs and the SL or management thereof ... but this, save it for a future article if there is interest by other community members.

Hi guys,
As you can see, the EURUSD in its Monthly Pivot formation for next month, already has about 130 pips, considering the levels of exhaustion purchases, even if we take into account the monthly pivot September, which has not yet been fulfilled (and can not really be), I think this area is great to place an order the first PIVOT October (still in formation) should, however, do so with little leverage and the possibility of reinforcements at higher levels.
Good Trades

Higher you climb the greater the fall, this movement has improved a bit over our PIVOT.
Monthly Pivot at 150 pips (down)
Weekly Pivot at 70 pips (down)
Daily Pivot currently 35 pips (too down).
Right here we have a nice trigger to sell. I just put a sell order without SL and TP 50 pips pointing. We shall see.

Hello SpecialFX
I am in agreement with you, the TREND is actually our best friend, however the trend has inversions and reversals beyond also has corrections, we have a good example. There are 1 month ago were in downtrend, however it was not why not started a bullish move (initially seen as a simple correction, but with the passing of resistance, is now seen as a Bullish Trend ... the question is: it will last forever!? But like you, this is just a humble opinion Good trades to you.

Sorry i put the answer here becaus i can't put it in comments of my article (it appears a error)

As you all can see, in trends always reversal happen. And this is a prove of that. Pivot W1 was get it, now we continue moving down to MN Pivot... Pacience is our best friend...even more than trend Good trades to all

I would have to disagree with this, the trend is always your best friend, but that doesn't mean you'll win 100% of the time, of course
Imagine that you bought technology stocks in the internet bubble of the late 90s / early 2000s, you can have all the patience in the world that it won't make those stocks reach those levels ever again

Or if you want a forex example, imagine that you went long USD/JPY when the subprime crisis began, no amount of patience would save that trade either, because the trend has been constantly bearish.

Patience is a very good thing to have in trading, but the last thing you want is to have patience in a bad trade (which I'm not saying is the case here).

Good luck with your trades

Unfortunately not everyone shares the same opinion, so as I had mentioned at the beginning of the month, if hou: (vesse positive manifestation on the part of readers, I would continue in October explaining the strategy, as the result was below expectations, unfortunately I'll leave it at that

First wanted to thank everyone who gave me congratulations for having reached the TOP 10 with the 1st part of Article pivots, this month will continue the explanation of the strategy, that because I had committed to do so, if that was the aspiration of readers. Since the very Dukascopy acknowledged some quality in the article, I realized that there was nothing else to do but give continuity to this work. Unfortunately and personal issues, this month is not going as I wished, so the time and dedication may not have been the theme that / article really deserved (and I apologize for that) but I hope it is to your liking and that will contribute positively in your learning. good trades.
