The SPX moved sharply lower

    Posted by steve on 25th of Sep 2014 at 10:01 am

    The SPX moved sharply lower right out of the gate this morning...unless it can regain the primary pivot (and hold above), I will favor more downside.  If short, you must decide if you wish to take some profits intraday...trade your plan in accordance with your objectives 

    what is the primary pivot?

    Click on link and scroll down to daily pivots. Click on headers--Classic, Woody, etc to get formula for pivot calculations. Also note that different providers show slightly different pivot numbers. This appears to result from providers using different closing quotes.

    Thanks for sharing mikesm...one must be aware that there are several different pivots calculated.  I focus on the floor trader pivots.  Use whatever works. 

    The intraday pivots are calculated

    The intraday pivots are calculated each evening by the quote providers (and shown on the charts). 

    S&P Primary Piv = 1992.25
