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 .

    • Date: 10th March 2025.   SNP500 Hits a 6-Month Low: Trade Policy & Recession Fears Weigh on Market`s.   The SNP500 completes a 3-week decline and falls to its lowest price since September 2024. The price continues to remain under pressure from President Trump’s trade policy. In addition to this, investors are becoming increasingly cautious about a potential US recession. SNP500 - Trade Policy and The Federal Reserve’s View On The Economy The US Non-Farm Employment data on Friday read lower than what analysts were expecting. However, the data does not yet indicate a recession. Investors are increasingly showing a lower risk appetite and cautiousness due to Trump’s trade policy on China, Mexico and Canada. The NFP Change read 151,000, 8,000 lower than predictions and the Unemployment Rate rose to 4.1%. The poor price movement is more driven by comments from the US President. Yesterday evening on Fox News, the US President addressed concerns about a potential US recession, advising the economy will undergo ‘a period of transition.’ However, some see this as a subtle warning of a short economic downturn. Though the Chairman of the Federal Reserve is taking a different tone and looking to reassure the market.     Mr Jerome Powell advises the FOMC is not expecting or worried about a US recession. ‘The US economy remains in a strong position despite heightened uncertainty,’ Powell stated at a University of Chicago event. He also said that sentiment readings have been a reliable tool for predicting consumption growth in recent years. ‘There is no need to rush, we are in a good position to wait for more clarity,’ was his answer to questions about interest rates. On the one hand, the SNP500 may witness support from the positive comments from the Fed regarding the economy. He also clarified that certain economic indicators are not predicting a recession regardless of the lower figures. However, the comments on interest rates and keeping them unchanged for a longer period can pressure the price of the index. Will The SNP500 Continue Declining? The FedWatch tool indicated a 92% chance of a pause in this month’s Fed Rate Decision, but the figure has risen to 97%. If the possibility of a rate cut continues to be unlikely in the near future, the SNP500 may continue to remain under pressure. Currently, the VIX, an index used as an indication of risk, is trading more than 4.00% higher. For this reason, the VIX continues to indicate a poor performance in the short-term. Asian and European indices are trading lower this morning as are US indices. As a result, the performance of the global stock market shows a ‘risk off’ sentiment. SNP500 - Technical Analysis The price of the SNP500 is currently trading 0.73% lower and gains bearish momentum as the European market opens. In the 2-hour timeframe, the price is trading below the main Moving Averages and VWAP. The index also remains within the ‘sell’ zone of the RSI and MACD. On the 3-minute chart, the price remains below the 200-bar SMA and sell signals may continue to materialize for as long as the price remains below this level.     Key Takeaways: The SNP500 has declined for three consecutive weeks, hitting its lowest level since September 2024. The main cause of pressure is from Trump’s trade policies and recession concerns. Weaker-than-expected US employment data raised caution. However, the Fed reassured markets, stating there is no imminent recession and no rush to adjust interest rates. The FedWatch tool now shows a 97% chance of a rate pause, reducing hopes for near-term cuts. Technical indicators suggest continued bearish momentum, with the index trading below key moving averages and remaining in the sell zone on RSI. Always trade with strict risk management.
