Daily structure, institutional discipline
This EA is engineered to operate on completed daily data, with strict execution gates, broker-aware safeguards, and risk controls designed for real-market deployment.

Pivot levels, systematised

Daily support and resistance levels are recalculated from the previous session and traded using structured pending orders and controlled follow-up entries.

How it trades
Daily reset At the start of a new trading day, levels are recalculated and stale orders are cleared.
Pivot levels Support/resistance levels are computed from the prior day’s high/low/close.
Execution Structured pending orders are placed at selected levels, subject to timing, spread and safety gates.
Risk & exits Fixed stops, optional protections, and catastrophic loss limits manage downside; targets align to pivot structure.

Trading logic summary

  • Signal driver: price interaction with daily pivot-derived levels.
  • Entries: pending BuyStop/SellStop at selected levels after an optional post-rollover delay.
  • Risk management: per-trade stop plus optional partial reduction, breakeven, and trailing.
  • Exposure control: capped positions per direction with bounded scaling rules.
  • Operational filters: spread / slippage / session safeguards.
Important note
Our models are continuously monitored in live conditions and recalibrated when market dynamics change. When an update is required, recalibration notes and configuration updates are shared transparently with our community.

Key strategy features

The diagram below illustrates how AQS-Daily Pivot PRO recalculates pivot levels from the prior trading day, schedules structured pending orders, and enforces risk and safety controls. It is intended to visualise the decision flow and operational logic rather than represent historical or live performance.

Illustrative annotated example of Daily Pivot calculation, order placement, and risk controls
  • Level calculation: pivot levels derived from prior day high/low/close at daily reset.
  • Order scheduling: pending orders placed at selected levels after an optional rollover delay.
  • Exposure logic: optional scaling / additional entries subject to caps per direction.
  • Risk & safeguards: fixed SL/targets, optional protections, and catastrophic loss limits with spread/slippage guards.

Why a daily pivot strategy?

Pivots levels defines points of accumulation and are widely used to identify statistically significant intraday reaction zones. AQS-Daily Pivot PRO formalises this concept into a fully systematic, repeatable trading process.

Daily recalculation

  • Pivots computed from the previous completed trading day.
  • Independent of intraday noise and partial sessions.
  • Consistent level placement across brokers.

Structured pending entries

  • Buy and sell stop orders placed at predefined pivot levels.
  • Optional delay after daily rollover.
  • Automatic cleanup and reset at the start of each day.

Basket scaling logic

  • Incremental position additions at controlled price intervals.
  • Configurable maximum exposure per direction.
  • Lot scaling designed to be bounded and deterministic.

Multi-layer risk defence

  • Fixed stop-loss protection per trade.
  • Optional partial profit reduction and breakeven logic.
  • Catastrophic stop based on total floating loss.

How the strategy works

The EA follows a strict daily lifecycle, ensuring that all decisions are based on confirmed data and executed within clearly defined operational constraints.

01 Compute daily Pivot levels
Support and resistance levels are calculated from the previous day’s high, low, and close using the Daily Pivot model.
02 Schedule daily pending orders
Buy and sell stop orders are placed at selected pivot levels after an optional post-rollover delay.
03 Manage entries and scaling
If price moves through key levels, additional positions may be added at predefined distances, subject to strict limits.
04 Apply exits and defensive logic
Fixed stops, partial reductions, breakeven adjustments, trailing logic, and catastrophic loss protection are enforced automatically.

Configuration overview

  • Daily pivot calculation: Controls how pivot levels are derived from prior sessions.
  • Entry and target selection: Defines which pivot levels are used for entries and exits.
  • Daily order timing: Manages when pending orders are placed after a new trading day.
  • Exposure limits: Caps the maximum number of positions per direction.
  • Scaling behaviour: Determines spacing and sizing of additional basket entries.
  • Risk protection: Fixed stops, partial reduction, and breakeven logic.
  • Catastrophic protection: Closes all positions if total loss exceeds a defined threshold.
  • Session and spread filters: Prevents execution under unfavourable market conditions.
  • Execution safeguards: Broker stop-level, freeze-level, and slippage awareness.
