Secrets of a Pivot Boss: Revealing Proven Methods for Profiting in the Market

This book is an excellent primer on using pivot points to identify possible support and resistance levels, as well as profit targets. The author does a great job of first explaining the drivers of the market, and the auction process. He then proceeds to describe how to anticipate the PROBABLE behavior of the next trading session through analysis of multi-day pivot trend, pivot width, and volume profile. The discussion includes several types of candlestick formations that when combined with key pivot levels will provide good risk to reward opportunities. The central theme of the book is that pivot points are superior to other types of indicators because they are not subjective and are based on the most important price and volume data, and inherently take volatility into account. They also have the benefit of lending themselves well to automation. It should be noted that while there are some trade setup's discussed, they are not to be traded blindly. As with all trading, the key is to look for a confluence of factors that point strongly to one likely outcome over another. I think this book does a great job of presenting the reader with information that should help to become much better at analyzing the market and finding the confluence of evidence. I was a little put off when I realized that you can buy the book from the authors website for about half the price on Amazon and thought about taking off a star for that, but I also found the author provides a lot of free/complementary videos on youtube so I am not going to complain about the extra price. Besides, the book content is excellent and I my only real regret is that I did not find this book much earlier in my trading journey.

First is to say that this book is selling far below its true value. To be honest, it should sell much higher! The author practically revealed his trading secret in this masterpiece. The information contained in the book is a lifetime reference. In as much as the book is enriched with life changing trading strategies, there is still to test them extensively and arrive at the same position with the author. Another uniqueness of the book is showing how to predict and interpret market behaviour intraday and daily for a profitable trade. However, it should be noted that due to increased volatility in the market now especially forex and crypto, the suitable pivot is camarilla and not cpr. I must admit that the book has greatly improved my trading even though i have been trading for years. The sad part is that i discovered it late. I proudly recommend the book to any serious trader.

This book is the Holy Grail. A must have for any trader who wants to be the best.

I was skeptical of pivots and particularly of this book because it seemed more expensive than other books. However, it was recommended by a trader i respect and bought it. I read it in four days and applied what i learned today (2021-08-27) for a breakout trade on AMD using Camarilla Pivots... the knowledge on this book just works... it is not magic, but really good and worth knowledge.

There two unique elements that make this book exceptional. The first is the level of innovation: New innovative indicators that are price based and are very powerful in predicting price behavior on all time frames. They provide the trader with a fresh outlook of the market.The second is the presentation. Mr Ochoa has a gift of a true teacher who describes concepts that seem complicated in an easy to understand, highly readable way. I read the book in one day. I regard this book as a true gift for all traders,mostly the lost and the perplexed.I read the book in the kindle edition and the layout including the charts are superb.

Of all the technical books I've read this one made me feel the best equipped and prepared for trading in the market. However there is one big problem: the first trading strategy he describes is "The moneyzone" created by Nirvana Systems. Which is basically a graph version of the market profile. He uses OmniTrader and VisualTrader Platforms. He even includes the programming codes for these platforms so the platform will find the setups for you. I read half the book and the strategies sound so amazing I want to try them out. Turn out TOS, TD Ameritrades plaform doesn't include "the money zone" graph setup. I say no problem. I'll get the platforms he uses: OmniTrader or VisualTrader. BIG PROBLEM: They cost $2,000!!! (for the professional version so you can use the programmer codes) An expensive book, an even more expensive platform required. I would feel slightly scammed but the material in the book really is phenomenal and I believe it really has upped my day trading game. The thing that surprises me most is no other Amazon reviewers mentioned this??? Did they all drop 2 grand on a trading platform????

The best thing I can say about this book is it is complete. Changed my trading forever - instead of reacting to what the market does, the book shows you how to lay-out a gameplan for the day (with options for each fork in the road). I spent a few days just watching it unfold and what I could see happening based on the pivot/money zone analysis and I felt like nostradamous. The ONLY critique I have is when he says that a pivot range should be "unusually" wide or narrow he never defines "unusual". Is that 10% wider than average? 200%?

The entire book is sound. Gives you a pretty good image of the strategy. I will not deny that. My wife and I share this account on amazon and I have NEVER written a review, good or bad, except this one. I spent a ridiculous amount of time studying this book. Highlighting, taking notes, writing on on the margins etc... I read it cover to cover. So here is my take on this: This strategy is based on HIS pivot system. Although he does give you a code to using VBA coding to make the indicator and states "If you do not trade with these platforms, the easy language syntax is fairly close to that of other trading programs, so assimilating the information should be fairly easy (Page 297)." What he does not tell you is that this VBA coding, and perhaps in 2010, when this book was written, it was the latest up to date, but now is obsolete. The software he uses is Omnitrader, which in 2010 apparently used VBA Coding, but now uses VB.net language. This is completely different and is NOT 'easy' to translate. He then has a website (His actual pivotboss website downloads something onto your computer and I have no idea what it is and have to delete it. According to other youtube comments, I wasn't the only one). On his website you would have to pay $1000 EXTRA just to get his classes and 'proprietary indicators.' This is what made me angry. Not only is this book completely based on an indicator that you end up having to pay EXTRA 1000 bucks for, but the ridiculous cost of his tools themselves. Then you also have to have a subscription to take those $1000.00 tools and then subscribe to OmniTrader platform which is $172.00 ($140 if discounted) per MONTH to even be able to USE those tools. He says you could use them on Ninjatrader and TOS etc..But if you don't have those brokers as your broker, you wasted money. He does not respond to his youtube comment section, which was rather frustrating considering the cost of this book and his low subscriber count. I mean 17.6k subscriber count(as of 8/30/22) is not so big that you can't respond to each one. Infact the most comments i've seen on his youtube is 11. So yes, he can respond. Don't fall for this like I did. If you're good at programing and can read VBA and change it to Pine script (tradingview) or vb.net and are willing to pay an additional 1200 bucks JUST to setup all these indicators on a platform you're only going to use for this strategy, don't do it. *sigh* ...all the best.

Iam writing this review after reading and implementation of each details mentioned in the book. This book makes you discipline trader, you will enter into the market at certain levels not every now and then. You will know the the probable direction of the market and plan your trade accordingly. Those three pivot strategy are great and if you combine them altogether it will make deadly weapon. Most important you will know the psychology of the market that how market moves. All you need a little patience to wait for those levels to come and that's why it make you disciplined. This is worth investment if you want to grow as a more skilled trader, you should definitely read this book. Cheers Haappyy Trading 👍👍

A MUST HAVE. Pricy, but it is indeed a great investment.
