How to Detect Market Reversals By Pivot Points

A pivot point is widely used by traders to predict the market movement. This technical indicator aims at confirming the overall market trend for certain time period.

The pivot point is computed based on the average of significant prices, including high, low and closing prices from the prior trading day. The way to determine the market sentiment is to compare the market movement and the daily pivot point. For example, if the market keeps moving above the pivot point is deemed as the bullish sentiment. You can keep your portfolio for the time being. However, if the pivot point drifts down, and the market keeps moving up, it would foretell the potential reversals. It may not be imminent, but it would occur in the near future.

On the other hand, the pivot point technical indicator is frequently used to detect the market support and resistance levels. From this point of view, you can treat it as a trend line indicator. The width of the trading range between the pivot point and the extremes (highest or lowest price level) from the prior trading day is used to determine the first support or resistance levels. Further, the full market movement width between extremes (highest and lowest price levels) is used to compute the second support and resistance levels.

When we calculate the pivot points, the pivot points themselves are working as the primary support or resistance for the general market.

Traders often utilize pivot points in two ways:

The first ways is to determine trend for the general market which can be tracked by Dow Jones, NASDAQ, or S&P 500. If the pivot points move up sharply and break the resistance to the upward direction, then we treat this market in bullish mode. Likewise, if the pivot points move dramatically low and break the support level to the downward direction, then we should take cautious and bearish stand. However, based on its formula, the pivot points reading is only good for one day. It needs to be recalculated next day. Therefore, this technical indicator can only be applied to short-term trading. That is the reason it is widely used by momentum traders, especially day traders.

On the other hand, pivot points can be used to make up the trading strategies, including entering and exiting the market. Traders can place order by either limit order or stop-loss depends on the movement of pivot points. If the pivot points move above the resistance and show bullishness, traders can set limit order to long stocks. Likewise, if the support level is broken, traders can plug in a stop-loss to sell stocks. If you are experienced traders, you can even short the stocks or market based on the movement and price levels of pivot points.

How Should We Treat Calories

The word calorie has a bad rap. We constantly come across calorie reduced or low calorie foods.

The calories that come from cake are empty calories, which means there’s no real nutritional value that your body can squeeze out and make use of. But in the bigger picture, it’s unwise for your metabolism to become calorie-avoidant.

If you suddenly decrease the amount of calories that you eat, your body won’t try to do more with less. It won’t necessarily provoke catabolism and thus reduce weight and fat cells. Instead, your body will try to keep you alive by slowing down its metabolism. It will simply believe that something is wrong, maybe you’re trapped somewhere without food, and it will just begin to become very stingy with energy.

So what’s the end result? If your body needs 2000 calories a day to survive, and you suddenly give it only 1000, it won’t begin to burn off 1000 calories worth of cells that you have lying around on your love handles.

Instead, your body will slow down its metabolism. It will really try and get as much energy out of those 1000 calories as it can, because it doesn’t want to waste anything.

You’ll feel more tired because your body is being very miserly with energy, and will devote its 1000-calorie ration to essential systems, like blood and oxygen supply.

Metabolically, you won’t be burning off extra calories. In fact, you can actually gain weight by dramatically reducing your calorie intake.

The flipside of this is, you should consume a daily caloric intake that is proportionate to your body size, type, and weight loss goals.

Once you determine the amount of calories that you need, you can provide that to your body via healthy, efficient calories. For example, if your body needs 1500 calories per day, and one slice of double-fudge chocolate cake delivers 500 of those, you can see that eating just one slice will take up a full 1/3 of your daily caloric needs, and that’s not good.

On the other hand, you can see that drinking a tasty fruit smoothy made with yogurt and nuts can deliver half as many calories, but provide you with essential nutrients, vitamins, and other elements that your body needs to healthily do its work.

Puppies or Adult Dogs

As we know, all adult dogs were once adorable puppies, and all adorable puppies will grow into adult dogs.

However, should we pick a puppy or an adult dog? This is the primary decision we have to make before picking a pooch. We might want to give this some serious thoughts. Anyway, our final decision may surprise us.

Most people just go out and get a puppy without second thoughts. Because these puppies are so cute, adorable and fun, the word “puppy” makes most people feel all warm and fuzzy inside their hearts.

However, perhaps we should at least consider the benefits of an adult dog before making our final decision:

Firstly, an adult dog is usually at least two years old. The habits, manners, personality, and temperament of an adult dog are already established, thus it is easy for us to evaluate. We are allowed to take a dog on a trial basis in most dog rescue groups, shelters, adoption services, etc. Therefore we can take him home for a few days to see if his personality is compatible with us, our family, and our other pets. In other words, we can find out if the adult dog fits what we’re looking for a in a new furry companion. If not, we can usually take him back.

On the other hand, with a puppy, we won’t necessarily know what kind of dog he will turn out to be, because this will depend very much on us and the time we spend with him.

Secondly, adult dogs typically need less care, attention and training than puppies. For example, an adult dog doesn’t need to go to the bathroom as often as a puppy. They are usually housetrained, and often know the difference between a chew toy and our favorite pair of shoes. An adopted adult dog may be an ideal “out of the box” companion that is so well trained, affectionate and “perfect” that we’ll wonder how anyone could give him up. But there is the possibility of the other extreme, as well. Since each dog is unique, the trial adoption period becomes important.

Thirdly, puppies are more likely to be adopted from shelters than adult dogs. If we want to rescue a dog, picking an older one is more likely to save a life.

Finally, the key to finding a good adult dog is to take plenty of time to evaluate his habits, behavior, and personality. Proper training can correct many bad habits and teach good ones. However, please be mindful that not all behavioral problems can be overcome.

A puppy, on the other hand, is like a lump of clay waiting to be molded by us. We can raise him to be our ideal companion. This, of course, presumes we know how to train a dog properly and have the time—and the desire—to do so. We know we’re one of those rare humans who realize what’s involved and is willing to go through it anyway—and that whatever pooch we bring home is going to be one lucky, well-trained, well-adjusted dog!

Keep this in mind: An adorable puppy will become an adolescent dog with a few months; that adolescent will quickly become an adult dog that can live from 10 to 20 years. So when considering a puppy, put a lot of thought into the grown dog it will become, and the long-term commitment we will make.

How Could the Market Order Harm Investors

We just want to emphasize the risk of market order.  When the darling of Wall Street stock, Facebook, finally debuted on 5/18/2012, many investors were afraid of missing the boat, and jumped in the stock at opening by placing market orders.  However, the stock plummeted since then! It took almost 14 months to recoup the loss, and break even. 

During the same time period, the NASDAQ gained 30%.  You can make observations from the next chart.
