GBP/CHF Weekly Pivot

Recommended Posts

This is something I did "live" for about a year, then for what ever reason it stop working. That happens sometimes. A bread and butter method just stops producing. I have not even looked at this for over a year, last week while eyeballing some charts, I stopped and spent a little time on GBP/CHF and it occurred to me it might be worth looking into, dusting off, and putting it back in my toolbag.

It's not a System or even a Method. I guess you would call it a trick or a gimmick. I am going to trade it for the next 4 weeks or so on demo, see what the results are.

 

The way it was first told to me, it is traded a lot more aggressively than I trade it.

Here's how it was first described to me:

On Sunday night, EST, wait for the previous weeks pivot to print. It varies platform to platform but is usually about 7 PM.

IF price is 75 or MORE pips away from the Weekly Pivot, you have a setup. If not, you can wait. If you enter a position later in the day, or later in the week it is ok as long as price HAS NOT hit the Weekly Pivot. I would not enter the trade later than 5 PM Wednesday of that week.

Assuming we are good to go ( more than 75 pips away and pivot has not yet been hit ),

place an Entry Order 50 pips from the pivot, towards the pivot. TP is 40 pips. So, if the weekly Pivot is at 14700, and price is at 14625, place an Entry order at 14650 with TP at 14690, 40 pips. SL, for me is 60 pips. The reason I am good with the poor R/R is because this gimmick is based on the very high probability that price will hit the weekly pivot.

I will be posting the setup on Sunday eve, with a chart, assuming we have met the requirements. One position, Entry Order. Most of the people I know that used this had 9 positions, stacked in the direction of the pivot. You can make a crapload of money, and you can lose a crapload of money. If you folow along with this you will see that although watching PA on the GBP/CHF can be as exciting as watching paint dry, when it does move, it does so in no uncertain terms.

Sometime around 03:45 EST, The TP was hit. +40 Pips.So that's it. as far as this gimmick goes trading is over for the week. This little Trick is called "The Monday Accelerator .

It was shown to me by my friend Mike K. It ok to distribute, I just don't know if he wants to take credit for it.

 

We will do it again next Sunday. After everyone has a grasp of what we are doing here, I will go into some variations for the really greedy people. Any questions?

 

Remember, this is mt thread I don't want to see anyone attacking anyone else.

We have the Weekly Pivot at 14637. Price is currently at 14564, just more than 75 pips away. I I have a Buy entry order at 14587 ( 50 pips from the pivot ). TP is at 14727, SL 14527

Now we wait.

 

We shall assume the target you wrote is a typo?

Yes. The TP will always be the pivot less 10 pips. Thanks for the catch.

The Weekly Pivot has printed at 14612. Price is currently at 14634, less than 75 pips away so no entry for now. If price continues to move away from thepivot we will place an entry order 50 pips away, when, price is at least 75 pips away from the pivot.

 

More to follow.

The Weekly Pivot has been hit before we had room to place our entry. Too bad. It's a nice way to start the week with some pips in your pockets. We will of course tray again next week. BTW the Weekly Pivot has been hit 31 times for the las 31 weeks.

We have followed this for 3 weeks in a row now. Because of the nature of the setup ( weekly ), We have had 2 successful trades and 1 no entry. It is not a fast paced thread and may not generate a lot of excitement. I don't even know if anyone is reading it.

 

Like I said in the first post it's not a system. I am just trying to bring to light the fairly high probability that GBP/CHF makes a move towards it's weekly pivot, in a consistent manner that can be exploited.

 

If anyone would like to see it again this coming Sun/Mon let me know, otherwise no sense beating a dead horse and I'll think of something to move on too.

If anyone has noticed a different way, or variation we can try on this, let's try it.

I'm reading it when you are posting....

 

Just a thought. GBP/CHF is fairly wild cross that gets good sized daily ranges usually. GBP, EUR, CHF are probably your most correlated highly liquid currencies. Since the Swiss pegged to EUR a year ago, it has become a lot more like a more volatile version of EUR/GBP. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this method you have outlined has excelled since this fundamental change in Swiss policy.

 

With kind regards,

MK

Hi MidKnight,

 

Thanks for reading, you may be the only one ha ha :)

 

This was developed about 5 years ago. Like I said in the beginning I haven't traded it in about a year. I still don't know what to call it, The person who brought it to our trading group's attention was Micheal K. He called it "The Monday Accelerator . According to him the G/C had the highest probability of hitting the weekly pivot ( at that time).

Maybe next week I'll start a new thread called "The Monday Accelerator" and try it on a few different pairs. As time goes on we can drop pairs that don't seem to be producing, add new ones etc. Even just gaining small insights into pair behavior makes it worth the effort in my opinion. I know numbers are numbers and charts are charts, but it does seem like some pairs have their own flavor. GBP/JPY is called the Orient Express by some, and USD/CAD the Loonie.

I am going to pick up this thread this coming weekend. With the GBP/CHF, and as Midnight suggested some other pairs. The thread will have a new name, " The Monday Accelerator "

So, if anyone has some pairs they would like to see tried, post them here and we will see how they fly.

We don't want to make too big, unwieldy, hard to follow. And we will always include the GBP/CHF, the pair the research was done on and use it as a baseline.

So if anyone has some suggestions, some pairs they would like to see done, suggest them here,

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
