Our services: - PIA was born out of a requirement from the institutional world of financial trading for an unbiased, professional, high quality technical analysis based trading approach. Banks, hedge funds, central banks and professional proprietary traders sought assistance to complement their trading strategies and to provide them with a clear technical based idea to assist in their decision making. 1. Analysis DAILY PREDICTIVE Buy or Sell Trading Ideas: - Buy or Sell trading ideas are published with specified trigger levels, target levels and an accompanying stop loss level. Our ideas are formulated with 2 profit target levels which may be adjusted as directed in updates. Methodology behind our analysis is for taking profit on 75% of a position at the 1st target level. For performance purposes, profit is calculated to the 1st target only. Once 1st target is achieved, the stop is moved to entry or trigger level. MEDIUM TERM PREDICTIVE Buy or Sell Trading Ideas: - Buy or Sell trading ideas are published (video) with specified trigger levels or area, target levels and an accompanying stop loss level. Due to the more medium term nature of theses trade ideas specific trigger levels are replaced with trigger areas. Often prices stall in front of key levels/areas and for a medium term perspective, an area is more reliable to predict rather than a specific level. Using an 'in front of' strategy allows a position to be built prior to levels being reached. However, it is important to build the position in a way that produces an average price close to the level. DAILY REACTIVE Buy or Sell Trading Ideas: - Buy or Sell trading ideas are published (email) with specified trigger level, target level and an accompanying stop loss level. Our ideas are formulated with 1 profit target levels which will not be adjusted. Methodology behind our analysis is for taking profit on 100% of a position at the target level. For performance purposes, profit is calculated to the target only. 2. The Platform PIA-First analysis and trading strategies are delivered on our proprietary and easy-to-use online platform.
