10. Pivot Point Support Resistancewith Market Volume and MACD

Volume is required to move a market, but it’s a particular type of volume that really matters: institutional money, or “smart money,” which is large amounts of money being traded in a similar way, thus affecting the market greatly.

Only volume shows when price is being affected by this type of activity. Knowing how institutional money operates, we are able to track those traders and trade along with them, so that we’re swimming along with the proverbial sharks rather than being their next meal

Trading requires reference points (support and resistance), which are used to determine when to enter the market, place stops and take profits.

Many strategies can be developed using the pivot level as a base, but the accuracy of using pivot lines increases when Japanese candlestick formations can also be identified.

For example, if prices traded below the central pivot (P) for most of the session and then made a foray above the pivot while simultaneously creating a reversal formation (such as a shooting star, doji or hanging man), you could sell short in anticipation of the price resuming trading back below the pivot point.

And this Forex Pivot Point Support Resistance Trading System with Market Volume and MACD Indicator is highly effective Pivot trading system.

 

BREAKING DOWN ‘Moving Average Convergence Divergence – MACD’

There are three common methods used to interpret the MACD:

• Crossovers – As shown in the chart above, when the MACD falls below the signal line, it is a bearish signal, which indicates that it may be time to sell. Conversely, when the MACD rises above the signal line, the indicator gives a bullish signal, which suggests that the price of the asset is likely to experience upward momentum. Many traders wait for a confirmed cross above the signal line before entering into a position to avoid getting getting “faked out” or entering into a position too early, as shown by the first arrow.

• Divergence – When the security price diverges from the MACD. It signals the end of the current trend.

• Dramatic rise – When the MACD rises dramatically – that is, the shorter moving average pulls away from the longer-term moving average – it is a signal that the security is overbought and will soon return to normal levels.

Traders also watch for a move above or below the zero line because this signals the position of the short-term average relative to the long-term average. When the MACD is above zero, the short-term average is above the long-term average, which signals upward momentum. The opposite is true when the MACD is below zero. As you can see from the chart above, the zero line often acts as an area of support and resistance for the indicator.
