Default Pivot Points in Forex

A pivot point is a turning point/condition. In the Forex market, it is the level in which the sentiment of the market changes. If the market breaks this level up, then the sentiment is said to be an uptrend or a bull market and this condition is likely to continue. Now, if the market breaks this level down, then the sentiment is bear, and expected to continue its way down. It is also in this level that the market is expected to have some kind of support/resistance and if price can't break the pivot point, there might be a possible bounce from it.

Pivot Points is best on liquid market.

if you can picture a graph her illustration will become more concrete. on this graph you need to picture a high and a low point on the Y-axis. if the trend (or that line you draw between charted points, following the x-axis) goes above your high point, she says that the market will tend to continue going up. its like once the market hits that high, interia will carry it further for a predictable amount of time. similarly, if the trend goes below your low point, she says the market will likely continue to be bearish (under-perform) for a while. as far as "bounce" is concerned, if the market performance cannot reach your high or low points, it is likely that there is a market influence that is perhaps unseen, or difficult to predict, which will bolster whatever move the market makes next. to mitigate this risk, it is always adviseable to set your limits prior to trading. decide which gains and losses are acceptable and even put a cap on gains, so that you automatically sell when you've realized a certain gain.

Money management is important in trading and in gambling, and in anything that concerns investing and spending money. This is limiting and controling yourself from spending more as the natural reaction is that one tends to spend more and more no matter what the result was, be it that you won or gained or lost... there is still a tendency to spend for various reasons.
