Trading With PIA

PIA- First has an established and successful track record in accurately forecasting the direction of market sentiment and identifying profitable trading opportunities based on our analysis. For 7 years as an Investment bank research team we maintained a success rate of 7/10 in our published calls. This success was in accurately forecasting the direction, timing and size of price changes.

While many clients use our forecasts to optimise the timing of their trades and hedge financial transactions, many also take trading positions based on our calls. Each PIA recommendation contains all the important criteria on which to base a specific trade.

As an example this is the above information as published in our trade recommendation for EURUSD on Friday 18th January.

Trading With PIA Daily Calls

These calls are the most practical to trade due to their high frequency and real time updates.

Over the past 8 years our expertise and experience has been in forecasting the net direction of price changes for the European morning so our clients can know with confidence what possible opportunities trading will provide. You can use our calls to improve the timing of the deals you already plan to do or to specifically enter a trade based on our recommendation. All are daily calls are therefore aimed at correctly forecasting the market between a 7am-1pm window in London time. The performance tables and hit ratio's of all our European calls reflect this.

Suggested criteria for trading with PIA Calls:

Why is 1pm our cut off point?

Dues to the release of US economic data from 1.30pm onwards, and US related news and developments, sentiment in the US trading session may change from the sentiment that dominated in the European morning.

Example

This is a real example taken from the London trading session in EURUSD in the week of the 10th December. Daily calls are published Tuesday-Friday. The table shows the published calls each day, the degree of confidence in the call, the 7am opening price and 1pm closing price, the maximum gain based on our criteria, and whether the call was a hit or a miss.

FTSE and US markets

Due to the later opening time the trading window for our calls in FTSE is from 8am -1pm, and in US markets ( S&P, NASDAQ, DOW, T Notes) it is from the days open to the days close.

Weekly calls

The exact same criteria applies to trading with our weekly calls with the exception that the time horizon the forecast covers is from 7am Monday morning – 1pm Friday.( Open – close for US markets). Trades are entered from 7am Monday, and the trade will be successful if it either meets the 2nd target over the week or is still profitable by 1pm Friday when we automatically recommend closing out the trade. The stop level for the trade is the risk level used in the weekly call. Every week there is a trading recommendation for each of the 26 markets we cover in FX, Equity Indices and Interest rate futures.
