Pivot point shift with Ema filter is an intraday forex trading system that is based on the support and resistance areas and moving averages. Support and resistance is the key concept of technical analysis and No trading system is complete without the use of support and resistance.
Support and resistance can be used for trend determination and also for taking entry exits. In This trading system pivot, a shift indicator is used which is just another form of support and resistance. Let’s try to understand the working of this trading system.
Support is the area when the downtrend is expected to pause due to lack of selling or more demand than the supply. A resistance level is the opposite of a support level. Resistance is the area when the uptrend is expected to pause due to lack of buying or more supply than the demand.
However, once the price has breached support and resistance levels then, it is likely to continue until meeting another Support level below the previous support or resistance level above the previous resistance.
When the price is breaking out of resistance and approaching the next resistance level, it means the price is in an uptrend. When price gives a breakdown of the support level and approaches the next support level it means the price is in a downtrend.
