Using Pivot Points
-
When calculating pivot points, the pivot point itself is
the primary support/resistance. This means that the largest price
movement is expected to occur at this price. The other support and
resistance levels are less influential, but may still generate
significant price movements.
Pivot points can be used in two ways. The first way is for
determining overall market trend: if the pivot point price is broken
in an upward movement, then the market is bullish, and vice versa.
Keep in mind, however, that pivot points are short-term trend
indicators, useful for only one day until they need to be
recalculated. The second method is to use pivot point price levels
to enter and exit the markets. For example, a trader might put in a
limit order to buy 100 shares if the price breaks a resistance
level. Alternatively, a trader might set a stop-loss for his active
trade if a support level is broken. |
