I'm watching the Monthly R1(MR1) pivot(green line marked R1) for resistance at 11755 on the Dow Jones this week. 1285 is the S&P 500's MR1 pivot. Support comes in at 11575 on the 20dma(yellow line) and open gap there from 12/31.
Trading is a visual game. Buy support and sell resistance. In my 17 years as a trader, I've learned where support and resistance using a combination of MPG.

1) Protect your capital 2) see rule #1 3) don't trade what you think, just trade what the charts say 4) use stops on all orders 5) never let a winner turn into a loser 6) never buy R2 7) never short S2 8) 3 losing trades in a row= strike 3.......shut down the computer for the day. Something is wrong in my head!
