You can get maximum efficiency by detecting pivots up and down; Pivots are price turning points that include major and minor pivots. Numbers can vary depending on what time frame you work in, and these are the things that make a dynamic market.
Trend detection is very important in using this tool. Usually we will have a low pivot after each high pivot.
Sometimes we have to have a few pivots up or a few pivots in a row to complete the patterns, in which case capital management helps us.
