scratching the ftse trade for +0 no momentum like watching paint dry, that not what we are looking for
so +0 on the ftse

hi hits76
on average r and r is 1 to 1 but can go much further, so average trade looks for about 20 points but it can be more or less
hit rate is about 60 to 70 % but will depend on what r and r you use, this reduces if you look for more than 1 to 1 or just automate the whole thing but of course you only need one big winner to gain back losses
as for support and resistance i use them in conjunction with the pivots, you will find me not taking all the trades that have setup on the pivots that s because of support and resistance levels may not agree with the pivots or they are in the way, but as i am trying to keep the system simple i prefer people to try and figure this stuff out for themselves,
but i will point out what i am thinking and seeing if i feel its significant

Your comments about gold pivots yesterday saved my bacon today - as you say they are quite a bit different. (So are silver). However I missed the eur trade this am because my pivot levels were different to yours. I use indicator mentioned above, but this is different to Livecharts by enough to prevent me getting into a couple of trades you have found recently. It means I have to manually enter forex pivots to see if there is a trade, as well as if it is valid. I'm having trouble with all these differences, although I use SML & am in UK, so should be same as yours. Yet your pivot seems the same as livecharts. Any advice well appreciated. Thanks, Geoff

hi geoff
i tend not to use smartlive for currency pivots as they are off more than most service providers if you use the autopivot indicators that i use on the site (its been posted many times) and download UWC DEMO account i find the autopivot indicator works very well with there time periods and is rarely off livecharts levels (except for r3 which we do not use from livcharts as they calculate this differently to us)

Pocrel, I have found your system to be very good. I live in the Midwest of the USA and see you still start some post that your lines are drawn and ready to trade. Do you just verify the Pivots. I noticed the bad trade day May 9 2011. that the pivots were an issue. Thank You, for your journal and system. I am going to get up at 3AM and try some trades. Thanks Jeff
Has anyone seen jeff? his alarm must not have gone off

in answer to your questions, i manually input my index and commodities from livecharts and oilngold in the morning, i enter these into a manual pivot indicator high,low and close to get my levels and i use autopivot for currencies, but i always cross check the autopivots with livecharts.co.uk and oilngold.com to ensure i have the correct levels for the day (the only difference is that we do not use r3 from live charts)
hope that helps
patrick

ah snatched at it story of my life, dropping lovely now, crude oil inventories came in with surplus so you expect it to drop
Hi pocrel thanks for the response. I was thinking of demo trading this system but using support and resistance levels mostly. This will be my first ever attempt at trading and I was concerned there would not be enough trades to make it worthwhile. Have you found there are enough signals to make a living from this system and are you trading from a live account? Please forgive me if I am being too intrusive!
Yes that helps a bunch, could you now ring me up at 3AM like a drill sarg and say get the hell up you @#$%^&^%$@# time to trade , Ha just kidden. I'll be up this mo rning. Thanks Pocrel
