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,

    • Here’s something few are talking about: The Chinese are printing money like it's going out of style. Not that you'd hear about it in the mainstream news. But Bitcoin knows.   Bitcoin always knows.   Here’s the thing…   When the Chinese government prints money to paper over the cracks, their smart money doesn't sit around waiting to get devalued.   It usually flows into three things: Bitcoin, gold, and dollars.   After years of being beaten down, gold's having one of its best years in decades. But here's the secret -- whatever gold does, Bitcoin's going to do it bigger.   Much bigger.   Since last November, when China started their printing spree, Bitcoin's been moving in near-perfect correlation with the People's Bank of China's balance sheet. Over 80% correlation, maybe even 90%.   Again, few are talking about it.   But here's why this matters right now: This could be the beginning of a huge breakout in the crypto markets.   Bitcoin broke above its July high, and historically, that's led to new all-time highs over 90% of the time. The only times it failed? COVID and the 2022 bear market.   That's it.” – Chris Campbell   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/     
    • Originally Answered: How can I compete with people who are better than me in every way?   So you want to outcompete people who are smarter, better looking and more experienced than you?   No problem!   All you have to do is outwork them.   Will Smith said, "if we both get on a treadmill either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying."     Most people just aren't willing to work that hard. Sure, they'll show up for the job interview and maybe practice in front of the mirror for a few minutes, but they won't do hours and hours of research and prepare for weeks. They won't wake up early and stay up late working on their dreams.   So while all those smart, good-looking, experienced people are waiting around for the next opportunity to come their way, you can outwork them and create your own opportunities.   In a few years, you'll be that "smart" person everyone looks up to. But you'll be different. You'll know it was your hard work, your inner strength and your commitment to living a great life that made you successful and brilliant - not luck or good genes.” – Tom Corson-Knowles, Quora Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/   
    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
