Determining Trend with Daily Pivots

Recommended Posts

Any of you that read my threads probably know by now that I like Pivot Points.

 

Here's something that came to my attention about a year ago, and so far has backtested very well. I have taken it live in the past month. The EUR/AUD short I posted was an example, as well as the G/J short that is positive and still open. And a EUR/JPY short I took but didn't get around to posting. It is working now, but that does not mean it will never get stale. Also never take anybody's word that something works. You must do your own testing.

I have only tried this on Yen crosses, and some pairs with high volatility... ie: EUR/AUD

 

The attached chart is G/J. Time frame is not important, I am using 4 Hr here just to get more time on the chart. Ideally I use the 15 min for a an earlier signal.

 

G/J has been trending up. On the left side of the chart you will see 3 yellow highlighted boxes. they are around missed Daily Pivot points. They were missed with price ABOVE the pivots. That indicates continuation of trend. The 4th highlighted box on the right is a missed Daily Pivot with price BELOW the pivot. That could indicate the trend is over, or at least a serious correction is taking place.

 

Some time ago I uploaded a pivot indicator for MT4 to TL. Otherwise the Dail Pivot can be determined by adding the High plus the Low plus the Close of the Daily Candle, then devide by 3.

Hope someone finds this useful, or at least interesting.

Thanks for your valuable contribution to Humanity! I have downloaded and installed the Daily Pivot Points indicator from your page, it shows in the navigator as grey-colored and will not attach to chart. Please help.

Thx.

Not sure what you mean by attach. You "drag the indicator onto the chart (MT4) and release.

Then right click on the indicator and select "properties". There you can change the color.

 

EDIT:

 

Go to the folder that contains the MT4 or5 program you are planning to use. Open it. You will see a folder called "Experts", open it. Now you should see a folder called "Indicators", open it. Paste or copy or drag the new indicator into the "Indicator" folder. Now, if the MT$ is runnung you must re start it. When this is done click on the "Navigator" tab. You shold see the new indicator you just added. Drag it onto the chart and configure the colors etc. Hope this helps.

Dear Mystic,

 

Thank you for the reply Mystic, I have gone the steps as you laid out to install the Daily Pivots indicator but it did not even show in the navigator; I further tried another step where I copied the indicator, clicked the on the 'file' at the top left corner of the mt4, clicked on 'open data folder', clicked on mql4 and clicked on indicator and pasted the indicator, this time it shows in the navigator however when I drag and release on the chart nothing appears on the chart. I have attached the indicator for you to verify if it is the correct one.

I'll appreciate further advice.

Thank you Mystic

Thank you Mystic;

 

You've tried for me but for some reason this indicator is not responding; I have precisely followed steps with no success. I had wanted to try using it o the Monday R3/S3 gbp/chf strategy. I love your screen and indicators though any chance hooking me up with some of your indicator.

Thanks regards.

It's worth a try, you could be right ... ... I get an "invalid file type" when I tr to use the ex4 suffix. Apparrently we need an mq4 extention. Try this, put it in the expert, indicator, folder .

I took it out of my original download folder.

Hi Mystic,

I see there is an additional number '25' wedged before the '20' making it

read; Daily%2520Pivot%2520Points (1).mq4.

Please look into whether it should read as; Daily%20Pivot%20Points (1).mq4. and may

it might work.

 

Thank you for your support.

Hi King,

 

Apparently it comes down to weather you have MT4 build 5 or build 6. The indicator works with either one but is installed differently.

 

First. Here is a YouTube link that walks you thru the install process for either build:

 

 

 

The second problem is thar TL does not recognize .ex4 as a valid extention.

If you PM me you email I will send you copies of both The Daily Pivots. and the newer Missed Daily Pivots.

 

 

Also, here is what's going on recently with EUR/USD when it comes to missed pivots:

The first missed pivot in the yellow box (Sundays) was missed to the down side and we deed indeed have downward movement. Monday's pivot was hit. In the second yell bow we have not YET hit the pivot. IF we don't I will expect further downward movement tommorow .

    • In Italy, I saw many of our brothers from different parts of Africa, sleeping and living in the park, the weather was very cold and its obvious that they were looked down upon. It made me want to cry and several questions overwhelmed my heart.   Is it not better to remain in Africa than to be homeless in this freezing cold weather?   I wish I have all the money in the world to rescue them...   Is this the reason why our skin color is looked down upon?   Do our government officials see this sight when they also travel outside of the country...does it hurt them or pain them like it pained me?

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
