Monthly Pivots for YM

[Soultrader]

POC or point of control is completely different with the PP or daily pivot. POC is a market profile concept while PP is just the central pivot when calculating daily pivots.

The PP is: (high + low + close) / 3

POC is the area where the longest line of TPO count took place. It is the price level where most activity took place.

There are a couple of different pivot point calculations that can be used and some people only use the cash session while others use the whole session (for instance, YM form 7:15 pm to 5 pm EST).

Can anyone tell me what is used most in the pits both in terms of calculations (be that standard or woodie pivots or other) and what time frame the data is taken from?

In some cases the pivots are pretty close and in other cases not close at all (20+ points difference).

thanks for your help,

Fred
