culsu,

Yes I do exits by ear, because every trade is different we are never in the same place for 2 different trades.

selling one at 1024.00

Exited at 1023.5 and short at 1023.5

Exited that trade +3, up 65.25 in the ES and 2.20 on those calls

I love Pivots...daily, weekly, monthly, I love it even better when there's a sq of nine near by.

As to your 2nd question it really doesn't matter why .146 (its phi to the 4th power) and .25 (1/4 or 2/8ths) but it all has to do with sq of nine....from each of my sq of nine numbers is sq root + or - .25 and then squared reason being that has to do with squaring a circle. All that matters is that it works.....146 used to work beautifully but now it moves that much in 2 min, so I don't use that any more once the markets calm down it will be useful once again.
