do you simply use key numbers?..pivot, support, resistance?...key highs, lows???
I do look at "key numbers" but how I arrive at these numbers is far more "complicated" than pivots, s/r, key highs/lows.
I use a "predictive" indicator that plots S/R ahead of time. Before the level of S/R actually holds valid... as most S1,S2,S3,R1,R2,R3 is based on past data.. which makes no sense to me.
If I see VERY tight gaps in these levels, I will over-leverage, $100/pip, $1,000/pip-- if the gaps are LARGE.. more than 5 pips, I will trade standards-to-minis.
The levels of support/resistance lets me know where I should try to enter the market. But at times, these same levels can also be your worst enemy. I use various cross' to give me an indication of if I should enter near that level (arrow up, arrow down, position of price in the channel, if a trend on the upside(downside) is about to start, etc.
Giving any further details would reveal "my edge." I am not a forex guru.. and don't plan to be one anytime soon/and or near future lol
