Markets are permanently doing "pivots"... that famous "V" shape... so you can use those V`s to organize your timing moments...
For example lets deal with two scenarios where we can take two diferent types of timing methods :
1) The Pivot Swing Timing
in this case you enter a trade with the criteria of swinging an x pivot... some kind of a break trader...
2) The Pivot Inflection Timimg
In this case you are timing right on the V formation actually, you can use averages crossing themselfs or oscillators crossing levels like I use to do with cci... ( you may want to check the flip thread, lots of cci timing examples there)...
So those are two types of timimg methods you may use acording to your strategy needs... cheers Walter.
