GBP/CHF Weekly Pivot

Recommended Posts

This is something I did "live" for about a year, then for what ever reason it stop working. That happens sometimes. A bread and butter method just stops producing. I have not even looked at this for over a year, last week while eyeballing some charts, I stopped and spent a little time on GBP/CHF and it occurred to me it might be worth looking into, dusting off, and putting it back in my toolbag.

It's not a System or even a Method. I guess you would call it a trick or a gimmick. I am going to trade it for the next 4 weeks or so on demo, see what the results are.

 

The way it was first told to me, it is traded a lot more aggressively than I trade it.

Here's how it was first described to me:

On Sunday night, EST, wait for the previous weeks pivot to print. It varies platform to platform but is usually about 7 PM.

IF price is 75 or MORE pips away from the Weekly Pivot, you have a setup. If not, you can wait. If you enter a position later in the day, or later in the week it is ok as long as price HAS NOT hit the Weekly Pivot. I would not enter the trade later than 5 PM Wednesday of that week.

Assuming we are good to go ( more than 75 pips away and pivot has not yet been hit ),

place an Entry Order 50 pips from the pivot, towards the pivot. TP is 40 pips. So, if the weekly Pivot is at 14700, and price is at 14625, place an Entry order at 14650 with TP at 14690, 40 pips. SL, for me is 60 pips. The reason I am good with the poor R/R is because this gimmick is based on the very high probability that price will hit the weekly pivot.

I will be posting the setup on Sunday eve, with a chart, assuming we have met the requirements. One position, Entry Order. Most of the people I know that used this had 9 positions, stacked in the direction of the pivot. You can make a crapload of money, and you can lose a crapload of money. If you folow along with this you will see that although watching PA on the GBP/CHF can be as exciting as watching paint dry, when it does move, it does so in no uncertain terms.

Sometime around 03:45 EST, The TP was hit. +40 Pips.So that's it. as far as this gimmick goes trading is over for the week. This little Trick is called "The Monday Accelerator .

It was shown to me by my friend Mike K. It ok to distribute, I just don't know if he wants to take credit for it.

 

We will do it again next Sunday. After everyone has a grasp of what we are doing here, I will go into some variations for the really greedy people. Any questions?

 

Remember, this is mt thread I don't want to see anyone attacking anyone else.

We have the Weekly Pivot at 14637. Price is currently at 14564, just more than 75 pips away. I I have a Buy entry order at 14587 ( 50 pips from the pivot ). TP is at 14727, SL 14527

Now we wait.

 

We shall assume the target you wrote is a typo?

Yes. The TP will always be the pivot less 10 pips. Thanks for the catch.

The Weekly Pivot has printed at 14612. Price is currently at 14634, less than 75 pips away so no entry for now. If price continues to move away from thepivot we will place an entry order 50 pips away, when, price is at least 75 pips away from the pivot.

 

More to follow.

The Weekly Pivot has been hit before we had room to place our entry. Too bad. It's a nice way to start the week with some pips in your pockets. We will of course tray again next week. BTW the Weekly Pivot has been hit 31 times for the las 31 weeks.

We have followed this for 3 weeks in a row now. Because of the nature of the setup ( weekly ), We have had 2 successful trades and 1 no entry. It is not a fast paced thread and may not generate a lot of excitement. I don't even know if anyone is reading it.

 

Like I said in the first post it's not a system. I am just trying to bring to light the fairly high probability that GBP/CHF makes a move towards it's weekly pivot, in a consistent manner that can be exploited.

 

If anyone would like to see it again this coming Sun/Mon let me know, otherwise no sense beating a dead horse and I'll think of something to move on too.

If anyone has noticed a different way, or variation we can try on this, let's try it.

I'm reading it when you are posting....

 

Just a thought. GBP/CHF is fairly wild cross that gets good sized daily ranges usually. GBP, EUR, CHF are probably your most correlated highly liquid currencies. Since the Swiss pegged to EUR a year ago, it has become a lot more like a more volatile version of EUR/GBP. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this method you have outlined has excelled since this fundamental change in Swiss policy.

 

With kind regards,

MK

Hi MidKnight,

 

Thanks for reading, you may be the only one ha ha :)

 

This was developed about 5 years ago. Like I said in the beginning I haven't traded it in about a year. I still don't know what to call it, The person who brought it to our trading group's attention was Micheal K. He called it "The Monday Accelerator . According to him the G/C had the highest probability of hitting the weekly pivot ( at that time).

Maybe next week I'll start a new thread called "The Monday Accelerator" and try it on a few different pairs. As time goes on we can drop pairs that don't seem to be producing, add new ones etc. Even just gaining small insights into pair behavior makes it worth the effort in my opinion. I know numbers are numbers and charts are charts, but it does seem like some pairs have their own flavor. GBP/JPY is called the Orient Express by some, and USD/CAD the Loonie.

I am going to pick up this thread this coming weekend. With the GBP/CHF, and as Midnight suggested some other pairs. The thread will have a new name, " The Monday Accelerator "

So, if anyone has some pairs they would like to see tried, post them here and we will see how they fly.

We don't want to make too big, unwieldy, hard to follow. And we will always include the GBP/CHF, the pair the research was done on and use it as a baseline.

So if anyone has some suggestions, some pairs they would like to see done, suggest them here,

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
