I opened the 3rd trade for USDCAD ... and this is my thinking about this possible trading system (price crossing pivot line) :
1. Price crossing pivot (with confirmation of AllAbsoluteStrengthTrend_v1 indicator by color) - it is good signal to enter.
2. Stop loss may be placed near pivot line - example :

3. But it is some problem with exit :

I mean - exit on S1 or R1 is good one but the price is not always going to far from pivot so it may be necessary for future possible EA to use standard take profit value for example.
4. One more additional indicator may be good to help with exit.
this is updated situation: +77 pips by equity

Hi Newdigital,
I find that with most of your trading, your stops are much higher than targets. In the long run due to this risk to reward ratio, does it hurt the performance as it takes many winners to make up 1 loss? thanks
This is because I entered too late. Basicly - we should open the trade when the price is crossing pivot line on close bar (confirmed with color). It means - stop loss (which is placed near pivot line) should be small.
Example :

I am just experimenting because there is some problem with exit with this possible system (means - i do not know where to exit)
There is some other way (scalping) about how to trade pivot (according to this article) but I did not try scalping with pivot sorry.
