Specs: 36 mins, 40 secs | 16.8 MB
  I've spoken with several successful traders in the past thirty days that focus exclusively on pivot points to find entry and exit levels in their trading. Mark Moskowitz tells us in this episode exactly how he calculates and uses pivot points, combined with very specific moving averages, to find consistently profitable trades. We also discuss the chart timeframes he follows and how be became better at using tape reading to assist him in predicting short-term moves. Mark also talks about how he uses leveraged ETFs to take advantage of market moves. Finally, we discuss the homework he does to prepare for the following trading day.
