Q:  WHAT WILL THIS COURSE DO FOR ME?

This course will give you knowledge of the essential trading components that take much of the guesswork out of day trading. Finally, you will be able to both intelligently and intuitively understand what is happening on your trading charts. 

All techniques and rules of the KISS trading methodology are clearly laid out and illustrated.  Discretionary trading requires a certain amount of subjective decision making.  PMT trading provides the rules and tools to enable you to make intelligent trading decisions with confidence. 

Q:  WHAT IS PIVOT MAGIC TRADING (PMT) 
ALL ABOUT?

Pivot Magic Trading (PMT) is a complete How-to course, teaching a Reading-the-Tape approach to day trading Pivot Levels (PLs).  On the tape, PLs are the horizontal topography against which we chart the intraday price action - the "chartscape" against which PMT traders trade. These PLs are the same Pit Pivot Points that the BBs (the Big boys, the Locals, the traders on the floor of the exchange) so successfully employ against non-PMT traders. Obviously, knowing how the BBs trade can give you a powerful trading edge!

PMT nurtures the Risk-conservative : Let Profits Run attitude and discipline that serves as the foundation for successful daytrading.

PMT course is packed with illustrations and examples to adequately train you in all the necessary techniques, methods, and skills empowering you to confidently trade real time.

Q: HOW DO FLOOR TRADERS CONSISTENTLY PROFIT?

  1. FIRST, THEY DETERMINE THE PIT PIVOT POINTS
    Crunching yesterday's High, Low, and Closing prices in a very simplistic mathematical formula, the Locals project the most powerful, anticipated Support/Resistance levels for today's trading - Pit Pivot Points.
  2. THEN THEY TRADE THEM
    Pivot Levels form the underlying strategic grid against which locals buy and sell. During the upcoming session, the BBs will trade up and down rather strictly between these calculated points.
  3. SO CAN YOU!

Q: CAN I USE PMT IN ANY MARKET I WANT?  STOCKS?  FOREX? COMMODITIES AND FUTURES?

The fundamental techniques, methods, and philosophy of PMTrading are applicable to daytrading all markets - stocks, commodities, or futures.

To keep us all on the same page, so to speak, the course, the exercise materials, and the daily discussions focus on daytrading the E-mini.  Students are asked to follow this market for the duration of the course. 

Toward the end of the course, special attention is given  to understanding and adapting PMT parameters to the individual characteristics prevailing in other markets.  

Q: WHAT ARE SOME BASIC PMT PRINCIPLES?

Pivot Magic Trading embodies a Risk-conservative : Let Profits Run/Reward, KISS philosophy and approach to trading. (The course presents specific rules and techniques, and endeavors to make these crystal clear.)

  • ENTRY SIGNALS
    We only consider a small set of powerful, tried and tested, "TA Approved", Reversal Signals for entry.
  • PROVEN MOVES ONLY
    Never initiate a position until the signaled move has proven to be truly under way.
  • MAXIMIZE REWARD
    Favorable Risk:Reward ratio. Only enter into a satisfactory, minimum acceptable Price Window (potential Reward/Profit) with acceptable, limited, and controlled Risk.
  • PROFIT-LOCKING STOP MISSION STATEMENT
    At all times systematically seek to reduce Undefended At Risk, without unduly interfering with Reward.
  • THE FIRST RULE
    Any time you don't know what is happening, get out!
  • THAT'S PROFIT, NOT PROPHET
    Always Trade the Tape, not the Prognostic or gut feelings.

Q: WHAT DO OTHER TRADING PROFESSIONALS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE PIVOT MAGIC TRADING COURSE? 

Read for yourself:

"Unlike other forms of position trading, day trading commodities requires a trader to be focused on just the “right” set of signals before initiating a trade. For a day trader, a wrong move can spell substantial losses. Yet in spite of the dangers and the fast pace of day trading, more and more traders flock to the venue, unfortunately many enter the market ill prepared to trade.

Pivot points have long been used by traders in the pits to highlight important support and resistance levels based on the previous day’s action. And while pivot points might be commonplace, knowing how to trade them is not. In spite of their almost universal acceptance among floor traders, very little helpful information is available about how to actually use them! Enter Pivot Magic Trading.

Asher Landesman has taken it upon himself to fill this most urgent need for day traders. In his manual, Pivot Magic Trading, Asher takes you by the hand and explains how to use pivots to successfully day trade the markets. And while pivots can be used in any market, he gives specific insights into trading the extremely popular S&P E-mini.

Through the use of extremely detailed examples, Asher leaves no room for doubt about how to day trade with Pivots, but that is not all. He also provides you with the exact forms he uses to trade as well as a trading log to track your results.

For anyone interested in day trading using the same strategies that the Floor Traders use, Pivot Magic Trading is a must read. It is my hope that his book gives you the “edge” you need to succeed in day trading the commodity markets."
ES, CTA, Trader, Teacher

"Finally, a clear, well-written "How To" manual for intraday trading (daytrading) using Pivot Levels... Great stuff Asher!"
MJ, Trader, Teacher

"Amazing!  There are so many golden nuggets in this course that I never know where I will discover yet another one buried." 
ML, Technical Analyst, Teacher

"Asher, your manual is terrific! I  can’t believe all the information you’ve included. I don’t think I have ever seen a more thorough report on the “how to’s” of pivot trading."
ES, Trader and Trading Instructor

"I do really like the clarity and order of your presentation and the number of good tools you've provided. The detailed explanation and instructions for setting up the trading journal are very good. Too many people would just say, "Well, be sure to keep a trading journal" - and the user would have no idea where to start - and it wouldn't get done. The package is very good indeed. As they say - sign me up!."
BS, Trader, Analyst

"Asher has written the finest guide that I've seen for day trading price action. He has addressed the full range of problems and challenges that a new trader may encounter when day trading the e-mini. I recommend it highly for beginners as well as experienced day traders."
BA, TA Genius, Teacher, Guru

Questions and Inquires

Q:  WHY IS IT CALLED "PIVOT MAGIC";
 "MAGIC" SOUNDS A BIT HOKEY!?

I have been an active participant in the Internet Trading Community for many years.  The original Pivot Magic article (posted to one of the more popular Trading Forums) was intended to be a single, hopefully thought-provoking, post for friends to discuss.   I simply was looking for a short, cutesy title for my contribution, and I thought "Pivot Magic" was kinda cutesy.  

If you've ever seen the Pivot Magic Journal posts on Internet Trading Forums, you surely have observed that the PLs most of the time really do describe important intersections in the Price Action.  One week I posted about 3 or 4 days in a row of charts which behaved in a particularly uncanny compliance with the PLs.  I couldn't resist poking fun and concluded the commentary, "Well, what can I say, it sure looks like Magic!"   To further accentuate the joke, I again gave the post the title "Pivot Magic Trading" . . . and the name stuck. 


NOTE: PMT traders have at times been heard to mutter under their breath while trading.  These mutterings are rarely incantations.  We are actually reading-the-tape, out loud!
