How to trade pivot points in forex?

There are many ways to trade pivot points in forex, but simplicity is key. So, the easiest and most common ways to use Pivot Points in forex trading is by utilizing them as levels of support & resistance.

So, for example if price is bullish, and approaching a pivot point, then we will treat that level as resistance and act accordingly. If we get a bounce we sell, if we get a breakout we buy. Bear in mind that trading is not that simple, but that is the main idea behind it, and also it is by far the most common way traders use pivot points.

One other way traders use pivot points is to determine Stop Loss and Profit Taking levels. Usually the SL & TP are placed right above or below a pivot point for extra protection in case of a SL, and just before hitting the Pivot Point in case of Profit Taking.
