Pivot Point Trading

Here's Your Lesson on Pivot Point Trading You are going to love this lesson. Using pivot points as a trading strategy has been around for a long time and was originally used by floor traders. This was a nice simple way for floor traders to have some idea of where the market was heading during the course of the day with only a few simple calculations. The pivot level and levels calculated from that are collectively known as pivot levels. Every day the market you are following has an open, high, low and a close for the day (some markets like forex are 24 hours but generally use 5pm EST as the open and close). This information basically contains all the data you need to calculate the pivot levels. The reason pivot point trading is so popular is that pivot points are predictive as opposed to lagging. You use the information of the previous day to calculate potential turning points for the day you are about to trade (present day).

Hi all, One important thing I learned during my trading period is using a low leverage. I lost a few dollars to margin call due to high leverage. I feel that slow and steady wins the race and this applies to forex also. Remember, forex is not a get rich quick scheme. Here, you need to plan your trade and act on it. High leverage = High Risk and Low leverage = low risk. You are safer with smaller lots if you are still learning. If it goes the wrong way, then wait and see when it starts moving in your direction and buy another small lot to average it and to reduce your average cost price. This will help you to get out of the trade more quicker and with good profits. Another important thing is to have your own trading strategy and even more important is following your strategy with patience and discipline. Good luck in trading.

What is a PIP? In the Forex market, prices are quoted in pips . Pip stands for "percentage in point" and is the fourth decimal point, which is 1/100th of 1%. In EUR/USD, a 3 pip spread is quoted as 1.250 0 /1.250 3 Among the major currencies, the only exception to that rule is the Japanese yen. In USD/JPY, the quotation is only taken out to two decimal points (i.e. to 1/100 th of yen, as opposed to 1/1000th with other major currencies). In USD/JPY, a 3 pip spread is quoted as 114.0 5 /114.0 8 The smallest price increment in a currency, so instead of a point like in stocks, in the forex market it is called a pip.
