All,
Just wanted to share some observations. There have been lots of questions on how to use the pivot and the R/S levels, so am trying to start with some points
- Generally, the market will get attracted "towards" the pivot. Today, the pivot was 32 points below yesterday's close and further more we had a gap-up. But, still we moved towards the pivot and finally closed much below it. Expect the opposite in case the previous closing is below the next day's calculated pivot - the market will tend to move up.
- Observe if there any levels that a bit far off. (lik$e more than 30 points apart for NF). These trading ranges are good to trade. Like today the pivot and R1 were 44 points apart and breaking of R1 took us down, atleast all the way till S1. And once S1 held up, we got an 30-40 point upmove before the last hour selling. So watch these trading range for possible trades in either direction.
- After a narrow range day, all the R/S levels will be bunched together with hardly 10 point difference between successive levels. The next day, Expect a R7 or a S7 kind of day. Watch out the NR7 thread as well on how these trends evolve.
Standard disclaimers apply - these are based on probabilities and observations and all rules will be broken by the market. But these points can help us in preparing better what to expect and have strategies around them.

Enygma.
