Hello Mypivots,
As of this writting the High on the ES was 1254. If we take the low this A.M. @ 1243.75 and get the Square root which is 35.26684 and add (since it was a low, If it were a high then I would subtract .146) then I square the number by itself i.e. 35.26684 + .146 = 35.41284 now we square 35.41284 x 35.41284 =1254.06 or 1254 which was this A.M.s first high. I didn't trade since I didn't have another signal. I missed a great short, but I would rather follow my rules then trade on a whim. Also .25 works good and .382.
Todays high 1254, find Square root and subtract .25 and square it is 1236.3 or 1236.5, this may be a good trade since 1256 is another one of my numbers.
Happy trading
Joe

Thank you redsixspeed & anouska,
Todays high so far 1241.25 was a daily pivot. The trade was entered and +3 points was the result. I only enter trades with more than one reason, the 30 min chart looked weak.
Look for a bounce on the S&P CASH @ 1224 ish level.
1220 is old low from may 2006 and so is 1224, 1225 is a Square of nine number and 1223 is a prime number.
I missed the bottom today Square root - .382 from yesterdays high = 1232, market hit 1233.75 and headed north without me.

The Square root +.146 of Todays low (so far) 1233.75 = 1244, also 1243 is a prime #.
Short from 1243.5

Trade was exited because it seemed to find support @ 1241.25 i.e. daily pivot, I didn't go long because I need 2 reasons for entry and 1 reason for exit.
Seems like were headed for 1177 on S&P cash, there's a massive head and shoulders formation on the weekly chart. But I really don't care were it goes.

1251.25-50 is Square root +.25 todays low (1233.75) Also 1250.25 is daily pivot.
Markets having trouble @ 1247 i.e. weekly pivot, no trade entered need other S&R numbers and I don't have any more at that level.

1236.75 is Square root - .146 of todays High so far 1237.25, trade passed there is no other number I have at that level. If something works 40% of the time mix it with something that works 30% of the time and you got a great system, or take something that works 30% of the time and do the opposite LOL make 70% then.
1232.25 was weekly pivot and 1231 is Prime number. I got a poor fill on a long @1234 and out @ 2points+ go back and look at a 10 sec chart and see how the markets react at these levels.

I said 1232.25 was a weekly pivot, its a monthly pivot, those are rare. Last time we hit one was Fed day in june 1337ish. I was short and man that market tanked. I don't watch the market news it effects me negitive, I didn't even know it was the fed until days later. Fed yeah right it was the monthly pivot.

Good eye Bruce,
I have them colored on my charts and I am so used to seeing weekly pivots, It didn't even register that it was monthly until after the trade I was loging it in my books and I saw that it was a different number.
