MISSED PIVOTS

[BambinoFlex]

Exited CHFJPY with minor loss. These are the days experience will really shine. As with any strategy, losing is part of the equation. Just make sure you don’t give back what you made. Better wait for a new day with another chance.

CADJPY hit the missed pivot and we are done for today. Happy Memorial Day!

Or you could just avoid trading on days when both the US and UK banks are closed...

Thank you for advice though, taking the adequate time off is my end goal. Not to stop working 9-5 only have my life consumed by trading. Not the goal at all.

AUDUSD For a possible Pivot fade. Price has gone up a good amount, currently, for the past 100 days, 90+ closed between R2 and S2. Maybe price can continue up higher but lets see if we get a lower close on the hourly. I entered at R2 stop at R3 and Tp at pivot.

AUDUSD hasn’t hit the pivot but still paid off. Lots of gaps in the 1 minute tf! Even now, there’s a GAP close to the LOD.

Moving forward, EURUSD, CHFJPY and USDCAD have missed their monthly pivots. Based on today’s activity and placing trades in the direction of the missed pivot, I might be able to swing 1-3 trades a month. That would be perfect!

Entered GBPUSD Long toward the daily missed pivot.

Forgot to mention, AUDUSD hit it's missed pivot from yesterday.

Today was a good day. My longer term trading is not doing well. The trades are profitable, but me holding them is the problem. Take UCAD for example, I was targeting the missed monthly pivot...but on the way to that target...price will go up and down multiple times...what’s a good reason to hold until and “if” I get there? When I can take buys and sells along the way? I was reading one of MOs post where he said about building a boat and making gains that rise to the heavens...but he said something along the lines of “you can still take profits daily” what does he mean? That you keep your bias the same and just take profit and then reenter?

Thank you for that, makes sense, stacking is the way to go! With the box idea, do you need bias? I’m having a hard time understanding how to calculate the box size. For example, I have “zone” where I want to buy/sell. Currently I just add to my positions until I reach my max risk. Me using pivots, when fading a pivot, my zone is M3 to R1 for sells and M1 to S1 for buys. Do I divide that area by 8 then take positions in that grid?

"...but on the way to that target...price will go up and down multiple times...."

I was just showing what would happen if you fix your target on the money instead of pips gained.

Think in money. Have a higher target on the chart. Use smaller targets to get to the higher target, in and out, in and out, build up your position for the larger, in your case your pivots.
