Pivot
False Break Reversal
Pivot trades failed breakouts at key levels. Entries trigger on a sweep followed by rejection back inside the level; three scaled targets exit progressively as the trapped move unwinds.

Account sizing
Maximum position size per account that satisfies three filters: empirical drawdown ≤ hard DD limit, single SL impact within daily limit, Monte Carlo blow rate ≤ 15%/y. Two percentiles show median (P50) and best-case (P90) outcomes over a 1,500-path simulation × 3-year horizon. Net $/y is annualized payouts after profit split (90% Futures Prop, 85% Forex Prop).

Sizing matched to Futures Prop EOD Trailing close-of-day rules. Static EOD accounts inherit identical sizing safely; Trailing intraday accounts should drop one tier (e.g. 100K trailing intraday → use 50K preset). Monte Carlo v6: 1,500 paths × 3-year horizon, block bootstrap of daily P&L with 5-day blocks, 25% dropout for variance robustness. P10/P50/P90 are 10th/50th/90th percentile across paths. Amber-highlighted Blow/y values exceed the 10% caution threshold.
How Pivot works
Pivot trades the failed breakout. Key levels act as stop magnets — price often pushes just far enough through to harvest clustered stops before reversing. The strategy is built around capturing that sweep-and-reverse, not the breakout itself.
Setups that don't fail are skipped. When the failure prints — sweep, then rejection back inside the level — the trade is opened, and three scaled targets (T1/T2/T3) exit as the trapped move unwinds.
The result: zero modeled blow rate across both MGC variants (100K and 150K Futures Prop). Trade-off is long time-to-payout — P50 TTP 331d on 100K MGC, 459d on 150K MGC — and modest BEST/y by Trace/Reject standards ($5.4k on 100K MGC P90). Pivot is a build-the-base strategy, not a quick-funded one. The XAU Forex Prop variant has lower viability (66.5%) and should be operated with realistic expectations — disclosed transparently.
How these numbers were calculated
Trade counts, win rates, profit factors, drawdown values come directly from TradingView Strategy Tester for the baseline preset. Verify by running the strategy in your own TV after purchase — numbers match 1:1.
DD%, SL%, Pass:Blow ratio and percentile breakdowns are computed from the same trade list using industry-standard methodology. Reproducible in Excel or Python.
Time-to-payout, Pay/y, Net $/y, Blow rate, and Viability come from a 1,500-path Monte Carlo v6 simulation over a 3-year horizon. Block bootstrap (5-day blocks) preserves serial autocorrelation of trade streaks.
