Sure. — The European traders start around 2:00am EST. The NY desks start around 8:00am EST. Many people consider the overlap the best time to trade but I like 3:00am EST to 2:00pm EST. The Euro fix takes place around 11:30 EST. I'd ask someone ...

Yep... — I'm acquainted with several bank traders but I don't fly to NY very often to hang out with them. Yes... I am saying they use daily pivots and S/R. Additionally... it's easy to deduce someone very big is using them because of how price ...

Thanks EV... — By the way... EV has redefined how to trade pivots and psych levels. If you get a chance... read through his calls. Mike

Totally agree... — Demo accounts are for testing the system and gaining system confidence. It's different when it's your own capital at risk. m

LOL... — The darkness is clearing. With the death of MJ, Farrah and that guy that screams during the commercials I need to start being nicer. I'm not too far away from 50 and apparently that hasn't been a lucky number lately.

15 min with daily pivots... — Check out the attached chart. Today's eurusd range. These are daily pivots and the chart is a basic 15 min chart. Bounced off the pivot... moved to S1... bounced off S1. Mike

Hmmmm — You have to admit 21 is close to 20 and in my world I don't deal in minutia. I must admit math is one of my weak areas. I do appreciate the award... I don't get many... and have never been knighted let alone the king of something. I'm ...
