Re: Pivot Points - John F. Carter

one key thing with pivots is that the first test of a pivot USUALLY will hold. carter claims this, and i have found it to be true. and you will get at least a 5-8 pt bounce (on YM).

the first test of a pivot level is practically a 'gimme trade'. it's a higher probability setup.

of course, you have to watch market internals, but a good general rule is to take the first test of a pivot level if market internals are not saying otherwise
