Here are the pivot levels for 11-September-2006. The reason I calculate these levels, is to assist my profit taking decision in dummy trading.

September 2006: Week 1 review
It was a short week for me. Only 3 trades were made. As mentioned (or complained?) in my postmortem, Strategy runner was giving me troubles over the week. I closed the week with -1.22-R loss. Since there were only three trades for the week, I am not posting the performance graph now.
I have completed change of trading platform. I am currently on Tradestation. It is a platform with full of features and functions. I am still trying to figure out.
Let’s look forward for a better week with better trading.
Daily Pivot 08-September-2006
I am not sure if I am able to start my Tradestation today. I might call it a week early if the platform is not ready.

Charting headache – Strategy runner
I can’t make any trade today. Strategy runner charts s*ck the big time. It messed up totally. After confirming with Vincent, I know I am looking at some monkey charts.
Here are the charts of E-mini Nasdaq at the same period, same time frame. Can anyone tell me which one is the correct one?

Same problem for Dow and E-mini S&P charts. No way to trade. I will get my Tradestation up tomorrow or Monday.
Daily Pivot 07-September-2006
I start doing Pivot calculation everyday, basically, I am just plugging in High/Low/settlement price (from CME and eCBOT website) of the previous session into an spreadsheet. 5-min job.
Currently, I am using pivot levels as profit taking level for dummy trade. I have yet to implement pivot play until my tradestation 8 is up and running.
