Camarilla Pivots: A Guide to Mastering Reversals and BreakoutsIntroduction to Camarilla Pivot Points Before delving into the personal challenges I've encountered with Camarilla Pivots, and the often stark contrast between theoretical strategies and real-world trading outcomes, it's crucial to lay a foundational understanding of the Camarilla Pivot Points. This will set the stage for discussing the adjustments and solutions I implemented to navigate these challenges effectively. Understanding the Core Layers of Camarilla Pivots: S3 and R3 Camarilla Pivots are structured around multiple layers of support (S) and resistance (R), with the third layer (S3 and R3) playing a pivotal role. Unlike the first two layers, which often see less action, S3 and R3 are key zones where momentum frequently stalls. These levels are battlegrounds for "Responsive Traders" who aim to reverse the price direction based on perceived fair values. Trading at R3: Recognized as a prime selling opportunity, traders should aim for S3 as a profit target with a stop loss set just above at R4. Trading at S3: This level is seen as a buying zone, with objectives set towards R3 and a stop loss placed below at S4. Advanced Layers: S4 and R4 (Reversal/Breakout Points) Reversal Scenario: S4 and R4 act as the last line of defense for pivot support or resistance. If the price fails to reverse at S3 or R3, it may continue to these outer layers, which then serve as optimal entry points for reversals due to their potentially lower risk and high strategic value. Breakout Scenario: In instances where the price fails to reverse at R4 and instead pushes above, R4 transforms from a resistance to a support level. This shift marks a critical entry point for traders anticipating further upward momentum, positioning R4 as a new buying zone. The Role of S5 and R5 (Profit-Taking Layers) Although not traditionally part of the Camarilla framework, S5 and R5 are frequently used by traders to exit positions, particularly after successful breakouts from S4 or R4. These levels act as final targets for taking profits, capturing gains from momentum-driven market moves. Practical Trading Tips: It's often wise to avoid trading within the narrow bands between S3 and S4 or R3 and R4, as these zones typically represent accumulation or distribution phases. Decisions in these areas are fraught with uncertainty, as the market has yet to indicate a clear dominance by either buyers or sellers. Conclusion and Upcoming Insights As we progress, I will explore deeper into the nuances of applying Camarilla Pivots in trading, focusing on how to adapt and thrive amidst the unpredictability of the markets. Stay tuned for more insights that will help refine your trading strategies and enhance market performance using Camarilla Pivots.

Mastering Market Dynamics with Camarilla Pivot PointsIntroduction to Camarilla Pivot Points: A Game-Changing Indicator Camarilla Pivot Points stand out as one of the most effective leading indicators in the realm of technical analysis. Franklin O. Ochoa's "Secrets of a Pivot Boss" offers a profound exploration of this method, widely used for identifying pivotal support and resistance levels in the financial markets. The book is acclaimed for its clear exposition of complex concepts and actionable strategies that cater to both novice and experienced traders, aiming to refine their market strategies across various conditions. Deep Dive into Camarilla Pivot Points Ochoa positions Camarilla Pivot Points as indispensable tools for intraday trading, delineating crucial levels that include S3, S4, R3, R4, and the extended targets of S5 and R5. These points are not merely theoretical constructs but are practical tools for navigating the ebb and flow of market dynamics. Support Levels (S3, S4): These levels are crucial when prices are falling, suggesting potential zones for buying. A rebound from S4, especially, is highlighted as a prime entry point, suggesting a robust setup with tightly managed risk controls. Resistance Levels (R3, R4): At these junctures, R3 serves as a preliminary profit target for rising positions, while a breach of R4 could indicate potential for further bullish momentum, making it an ideal spot for breakout strategies. Extended Levels (S5 and R5): Serving as further profit targets, these levels are significant during periods of extraordinary volatility, indicating strong market movements and potential zones for capturing gains before probable market retractions. Strategic Implementation and Challenges The integration of Camarilla Pivot Points with other market indicators and contextual analysis is emphasized to enhance the validity of trading signals. This holistic approach ensures that traders are not solely reliant on one method but are equipped to make informed decisions based on a comprehensive market view. However, the practical application of these strategies, as vividly recounted from personal experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, reveals challenges. Despite meticulous adherence to Ochoa's outlined strategies, the expected outcomes were not always realized, with an 80% incidence of being stopped out of trades. This discrepancy highlights a crucial aspect of trading: the unpredictable nature of markets and the necessity for continuous adaptation and learning. Conclusion: Looking Forward The journey with Camarilla Pivot Points underscores a critical lesson in trading: the importance of flexibility and ongoing education in strategy application. As we prepare to delve deeper into what might have been missing in the initial application and how to adjust strategies accordingly, traders are reminded of the impermanence of market conditions and the need for perpetual skill enhancement. Stay tuned for the next installment, where we explore these adaptations and continue our journey towards mastering the art of trading with Camarilla pivot points.

XAUUSD | SHORT BREAK BEFORE THE NORTH TRIP?Gold has been trading in a descending channel since May. But something had to happen after bottom got rejected... unfortunately it was war. Eastern conflict launched XAUUSD to the first checkpoint before the Moon. It broke through semi-channel resistance, static resistance at 1945, main channel upper dynamic resistance and finally stopped just below psychological 2000$. As you can see on my chart, latest rally from 1809 is very similar to the one from March. Same start and almost the same finish. If "copy" will be correct then we might see correction to 1945 first. Once we are there, most likely scenario (depending on upcoming US data and FOMC decision + uptades on Eastern conflict) will be bounce off from this lvl and preparation of the rocket for retesting -> eventually breaking through the 2k. On the right side you can see dotted lines with prices, these are Camarilla pivot points based on the weekly candle. In case you don't know, Camarilla points are the better (for most) version of classic pivot points. These are much more accurate since the levels are much more closer to the actual price action. Based on basic Camarilla's strategy, rejected 2005.46 will turn market to a short-term bearish sentiment . Breakout of 2029.91 would take us to retest all time high . Rejected 1956.56 would turn the bias bullish, and finally, breakout of 1932.11 could take us deeper to the south . Lately, most of the US (bullish for dollar) data was ignored by traders, and Gold kept going higher, along with DXY index. But most importantly, FED members with Jerome Powell on the top, shifted narration to more dovish one. By the time of writing this idea, traders bets 75% that there won't be more hikes this year. 99.9% that upcoming November's meeting will result in another pause (that's why you need to focus on the narration). Situation in the east is still tense. With warning of ground invasion on the line. Not to mention recent visits of Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak. Those two personas are leaning for the hold of the recent mentioned invasion. It's very important to follow the news and uptades on this topic, since it's a main driver for save-haven metal like Gold. Hope you'll find something useful in my analysis and opinion. Feel free to share your thoughts and thank you all for reading this! Take care

BTC Daily Analysis. The possibilities and what to look out forIndicators used. Camarilla pivots on monthly levels. Linear regression. HH HL LL LH with RSI. / Oscillation, ppo, shaff trend / MacD The Green and bullish path would indicate us breaking H4 and closing over it on a daily. The target would be H5. If this happens stoploss would be H3. To see these happen we would want to see more consolidation in the levels we are currently in without breaking and closing under the H3 beforehand. The yellow path is the healthy correction path and what it seems we might be more likely to take at this moment. We see some warning flags. such as caution dots on the daily as well are grinding under a downward linear regression channel and a daily mac-D cross down confirmed. for a trade on this path one would want to see a daily close under the H3. Target the L3. with a stoploss at the H4 The red path would only be if we took the yellow path and the bounce on the monthly L3 did not resolve a bounce. For this play one would want to see a daily close under the L4 and enter with a target of L5 and a stop loss at the L3. Personal Idea. I think it is not out of the realm of possibilities to see the corrective path at least. I am not supper bullish nor bearish in this place. The daily indicators at the current moment lean on it more in my personal experience. It should be noted I trade using pivot points and static levels and not Moving averages. So DYOR and trade to your plan and liking. This is not financial advice. Just the way Isee it.

Short $GBPUSD with Election Year SeasonalityOn average during election years, the pound has a sharp selloff beginning around June 15 - June 20 during election years that lasts the remainder of the year. There has been plenty of volatility in currencies and equities this year because of the virus reset, and this volatility can continue to year end. The target shown is just a minimum target, however a portion of the original short could be held until the end of the year and stops adjusted to break even once this target is satisfied.

LTCUSD 1H CAMARILLA MEAN REVERSAL STRATEGYNow, we know that this Camarilla pivot trading strategy tends to produce less trading signals. This means that you won’t be having a trade signal every day. Don’t worry about it because we have one more trick in our sleeves. We can show you a very reliable Camarilla mean reversion strategy. This Camarilla pivot trading strategy only uses the power of divergence along with the pivot points. It sounds complicated, but in practice is quite easy. To simplify the process we’re going to look at buying near Camarilla support S3. All you need to look for the price to make a new low that at the moment we touch the support S3. This means we broker below the most recent intraday swing low. In this particular example, the price broke below the support S3. Many times it will happen this way. So, don’t expect the Camarilla pivot support levels to hold to the pip. This is why we enter our position once the price gets back above the support S3. With this Camarilla pivot trading strategy we place the protective stop loss below the support S4. Note* Use the same rules, but in reverse for selling near the resistance R3.

ETHUSD 30M CAMARILLA PIVOT TRADING STRATEGYDay Trading Camarilla Pivot Trading Strategy Mean reversion day trading inherently has lower profit margins with Camarilla pivots. The reason behind this is very simple due to the proximity of the Camarilla points with the price action you’re left with lower profit margins. So, from the start, you have a handicap that as a trade you need to overcome. Trading is all about finding those situations where we maximize our profits and minimize the risk. That’s the reason why we prefer trading breakouts of the Camarilla pivot points. The profit potential is far greater. However, in order to confirm our breakout trade, we’re going to throw in another indicator. So, what’s the best combination with the Camarilla pivot points? The CCI or Commodity Channel Index can be used in combination with Camarilla points to confirm breakouts. Learn more about how the pro’s trade using the CCI trading system HERE. So, what are the rules to confirm the Camarilla pivot point breakouts? There are two rules: For bullish breakout trades above the resistance R4, we need to see a CCI reading of +100 at the moment the breakout happens. For bearish breakout trades below the support S3, we need to see a CCI reading of -100 to confirm the breakout. Note* an effective way to hide your protective stop loss would be below (above) the resistance R3 (support S3). You determine your own TP.
