In re People in the Interest of T.T.
T.T. sought to ensure that his name was not linked to the record of his earlier short-term commitment for treatment of a mental health condition. Under section 27-65-107(7), C.R.S. (2018), when a person is released from short-term treatment for a mental health condition, the clerk of the district court shall seal the record in the case and omit the name of the person from the court's "index of cases." The key question in this case was whether "Eclipse," the user interface of the Colorado judicial branch's computerized case management system, was an "index of cases" as contemplated by section 27-65-107(7). The Colorado Supreme Court concluded the reference to "index of cases" in section 27-65-107(7) contemplated a list of matters before the court that could be used to locate the actual court records for those matters. The Eclipse user interface itself contained no data, and neither Eclipse nor its underlying database, ICON, functioned as an "index" or list of cases. Thus, contrary to the court of appeals' ruling, section 27-65-107(7) did not require the court clerk to remove T.T.'s name from the ICON/Eclipse case management system. Moreover, to remove an individual's name from this case management system would thwart the court's statutory obligations to link the record of a short-term mental health case with subsequent cases involving that individual and to share certain information with the federal government. Because the district court cannot comply with the relief directed by the court of appeals, the Supreme Court discharged the rule to show cause.

Ruybalid v. Bd. of Cty. Comm'rs
Francis Ruybalid committed numerous ethical violations arising out of cases that he either prosecuted or supervised while he was the District Attorney for the Colorado Third Judicial District. He argued he was entitled to the attorney's fees and costs he incurred while defending these allegations. The counties of the Third Judicial District refused to reimburse Ruybalid for these expenses. The Colorado Supreme Court determined that because Ruybalid's ethical violations were at times committed recklessly or knowingly, his attorney's fees and costs were not necessarily incurred in the discharge of his official duties, therefore, he was not entitled to reimbursement for fees.

Colo. Dept. of Labor & Emp. Div. of Workers' Comp. v. Dami Hosp.
Dami Hospitality, LLC ("Dami") was the owner-operator of a Denver motel that employed between four and ten people at any given time. As an employer of three or more persons, Dami was required by statute to maintain workers' compensation insurance. Dami allowed its workers' compensation coverage to lapse on in 2005. Upon receiving notification of the lapse from the Division of Workers' Compensation ("DWC"), Dami conceded the violation and paid a corresponding settlement in June 2006. Dami again allowed its workers' compensation coverage to lapse in 2006. From June 2007 to September 2010, Dami carried the proper insurance, but the company's workers' compensation coverage again lapsed on September 12, 2010 and went without insurance until July 9, 2014. On February 19, 2014, the DWC discovered that Dami had allowed its workers' compensation insurance to lapse for these periods of time and issued a notice to Dami regarding this. Dami faxed a copy of workers' compensation insurance for the July 10, 2014 - July 10, 2015 period; Dami offered no such evidence for any other period, nor any explanation for the lapses. Fines accrued for noncompliance, totaling $841,200. The DWC ultimately issued an order upholding the fines. Dami appealed to the Industrial Claim Appeals Office ("ICAO"). The ICAO rejected all but Dami's excessive fines argument. The ICAO remanded the matter to the DWC, directing it to review the constitutionality of the aggregated per diem fines assessed in accordance with the test established by the court of appeals in Associated Business Products v. Industrial Claim Appeals Office, 126 P.3d 323 (Colo. App. 2005). The ICAO would ultimately affirm the resulting fines, and Dami appealed to the Court of Appeals. The appellate court set aside the fines, assuming, without deciding, the Excessive Fines Clause could be applied to challenge regulatory fees imposed on a corporation. The Colorado Supreme Court concluded the proper test to assess the constitutionality of government fines under the Eighth Amendment required an assessment of whether the fine was grossly disproportional to the offense for which it was imposed. The Supreme Court thus reversed the court of appeals' ruling and remanded to that court for return to the Division of Workers' Compensation with instructions to, as appropriate and necessary, develop an evidentiary record sufficient to determine whether the $250–$500 fine that a business was required to pay for each day that it was out of compliance with Colorado's workers' compensation law is proportional to the harm or risk of harm caused by each day of noncompliance.

Department of Revenue v. Oracle
Oracle was a Delaware corporation headquartered in California, and it is the parent of a worldwide group of affiliated corporations. OJH was a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oracle, existing solely as a holding company. During the period at issue in this matter, OJH held stock in Oracle Japan, and it sold 8.7 million shares of that stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, realizing capital gains of approximately $6.4 billion. The tax treatment of these gains was at the center of this dispute. Specifically, the issues this case presented for the Colorado Supreme Court's review were: (1) whether the Colorado Department of Revenue could require Oracle Corporation ("Oracle") to include its holding company, Oracle Japan Holding, Inc. ("OJH"), in its Colorado combined income tax return for the tax year ending May 31, 2000; and (2) if no, then whether the Department could nevertheless allocate OJH's gain from the sale of shares that it held in Oracle Corporation Japan ("Oracle Japan") to Oracle in order to avoid abuse and to clearly reflect income. For the reasons set forth in Department of Revenue v. Agilent Technologies, Inc., 2019 CO __, __ P.3d __, the Colorado Supreme Court concluded the pertinent statutory provisions and regulations did not permit the Department either to require Oracle to include OJH in its combined tax return for the tax year at issue or to allocate OJH's capital gains income to Oracle. Accordingly, the Supreme Court concluded the district court properly granted summary judgment in Oracle's favor. View "Department of Revenue v. Oracle" on Justia Law

Colo. Custom Maid v. ICAO & Div. of Unemp. Ins.
Colorado Custom Maid (CCM) places house cleaners with clients who need their homes cleaned. In doing so, it has tried to avoid becoming the house cleaners' employer, hoping instead to maintain the relationship as one between a referral service and a group of independent contractors so that it could avoid paying unemployment taxes on the money it paid to those cleaners. In 2014, the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment Division of Employment and Training (Division) concluded that, despite CCM's efforts to characterize them as independent contractors, CCM's cleaners were in fact employees for whom the company should be paying unemployment taxes. After evaluating the dynamics of the relationship between CCM and its cleaners, the Colorado Supreme Court agreed. The Court affirmed the conclusion of an Industrial Claim Appeals Office Panel that the realities of CCM's relationship with its cleaners established an employment relationship. View "Colo. Custom Maid v. ICAO & Div. of Unemp. Ins." on Justia Law
Department of Revenue v. Agilent Technologies
Agilent Technologies, Inc. was a Delaware corporation headquartered in California, and was the parent company of a worldwide family of affiliated corporations. Agilent maintains research and development and manufacturing sites in Colorado and is thus subject to Colorado corporate income tax. World Trade, Inc. is a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Agilent, and existed solely as a holding company. World Trade earned substantial dividends on its shares in its noted subsidiaries, the tax treatment of dividends gave rise to the dispute before the Colorado Supreme Court. Specifically, the issues reduced to: (1) whether the Colorado Department of Revenue and Michael Hartman, in his official capacity as the Executive Director of the Department, could require Agilent to include its holding company, Agilent Technologies World Trade in its Colorado combined income tax returns for the tax years 2000–07; if not, then whether the Department could nevertheless allocate World Trade's gross income to Agilent in order to avoid abuse and to clearly reflect income. The Colorado Court determined sections 39-22-303(11)–(12), C.R.S. (2018), did not authorize the Department to require Agilent to include World Trade in its combined tax returns for the tax years at issue because World Trade was not an includable C corporation within the meaning of those provisions. As to the second question, the Court likewise concluded the Department could not allocate World Trade's income to Agilent under section 39-22-303(6) because: (1) that section has been superseded by section 39-22-303(11) as a vehicle for requiring combined reporting for affiliated C corporations; and (2) even if section 39-22-303(6) could apply, on the undisputed facts presented here, no allocation would be necessary to avoid abuse or clearly reflect income.

In re Reeves-Toney v. School Dist. No. 1 in the City & County of Denver
In 2010, the Colorado General Assembly enacted Senate Bill 10-191 (SB 191), which significantly amended Teacher Employment, Compensation, and Dismissal Act of 1990 (TECDA) provisions concerning teacher contracts and the transfer process. SB191 eliminated the earlier practice of transferring teachers to schools without the consent of the principal of the recipient school. Under SB 191, nonprobationary teachers who were deemed effective during the prior school year and who have not secured a mutual consent placement become members of a "priority hiring pool" for available positions. However, nonprobationary teachers who were unable to secure such a position after the longer of twelve months or two hiring cycles are placed on unpaid leave until they are able to secure an assignment. Defendant-Petitioner School District No. 1 in the City and County of Denver (DPS) sought review of the trial court's denial of its motion to dismiss Plaintiff-Respondent Rebecca Reeves-Toney's constitutional challenge to the "mutual consent" provisions of section 22-63-202(2)(c.5) of the TECDA. Reeves-Toney alleged these provisions violated the local control clause of article IX, section 15 of the Colorado Constitution by delegating local school boards' hiring decisions to principals and other administrators. DPS moved to dismiss Reeves-Toney's complaint, arguing, among other things, that she lacked standing to bring her claim. The trial court agreed that Reeves-Toney lacked individual standing, but nevertheless concluded that she sufficiently alleged taxpayer standing to challenge section 22-63-202(2)(c.5) and plausibly alleged that the statute was facially unconstitutional. The court thus denied the motion to dismiss. The Colorado Supreme Court determined Reeves-Toney did not allege an injury based on an unlawful expenditure of taxpayer money, thus failing to demonstrate a clear nexus between her status as a taxpayer and the challenged government action. Reeves-Toney therefore lacked taxpayer standing to bring her constitutional challenge to section 22-63-202(2)(c.5). Accordingly, the Court reversed and remanded for the trial court to dismiss Reeves-Toney's complaint. View "In re Reeves-Toney v. School Dist. No. 1 in the City & County of Denver" on Justia Law

Concerning the Application for Water Rights of S. Cade Huffaker
A series of appeals concerned a dispute over competing rights to irrigation tail and waste water that collected in a borrow ditch. The Colorado Supreme Court was asked to determine whether a driveway that interrupted the flow of water in the ditch rendered the sections of borrow ditch on either side of the driveway separate sources of water for purposes of the postponement doctrine. S. Cade and Bradley Huffaker and a neighboring landowner, Lee Crowther, filed competing applications for rights to this water. The Huffakers filed their application in 2013; Crowther filed his in 2016. The Huffakers argued that under the postponement doctrine, they were entitled to the senior right in the borrow ditch water because they filed their application first. The water court held that the postponement doctrine did not apply here because it concluded the water rights claimed by the Huffakers and Crowther did not derive from the same source. Therefore, the court held that Crowther's right to divert water at the culvert was not junior to the Huffakers' right, even though Crowther's application was filed two and a half years after the Huffakers' application. The Huffakers appealed, again contending that the postponement doctrine applied to determine the priority of the applicants' competing rights to the water in the borrow ditch, and that they were entitled to the senior priority because they filed their application first. They further argued the collection area of their absolute water right began not at the driveway, but farther south (upstream) at the same point as Crowther's right. The Supreme Court agreed with both contentions and reversed the water court. View "Concerning the Application for Water Rights of S. Cade Huffaker" on Justia Law
Hinsdale County v. HDH Partnership
Respondents were four Ranch owners who, with notice of the Lake Fork Hunting and Fishing Club's (the Club) restrictive covenants and bylaws, purchased deeds conferring record title to their respective Ranches. In 2015, the Hinsdale County Assessor conducted valuations of the Respondents' Ranches and assessed property taxes to their parcels. Respondents protested these valuations and assessments to the Hinsdale County Board of Equalization (the BOE), which denied their petitions. Respondents then appealed the BOE's determination to the Board of Assessment Appeals (the BAA), arguing that because of the Club's restrictive covenants and bylaws, the Club was the true owner of those parcels and should have been held responsible for real property taxes. The BAA denied the Respondents' appeal and affirmed the Assessor's valuation of the Ranch parcels. The Ranch owners then appealed the BAA's decision to the court of appeals, which reversed the BAA's order. Given the extent of the Club's control over the property, the court of appeals concluded that the Club was the true owner of the parcels for purposes of property taxation and viewed the Ranch owners' interests as akin to mere licenses to conduct certain activities on the Club's property. The Colorado Supreme Court reversed, finding Colorado's property tax scheme reflected the legislative intent to assess property taxes to the record fee owners of real property. "Because Respondents voluntarily agreed to the restrictive covenants and bylaws that facilitate the collective use of their property for recreational purposes, we hold that they cannot rely on these same restrictive covenants and bylaws to avoid property tax liability that flows from their record title ownership." Accordingly, the court of appeals erred in relying on the Club's restrictive covenants and bylaws to conclude that the Club is the "owner" of the Ranch parcels and that the Ranch owners hold mere licenses to use Club grounds. The court further erred in holding that the Assessor therefore improperly valued the Respondents' parcels. View "Hinsdale County v. HDH Partnership" on Justia Law
Concerning the Application for Water Rights of Donald E. Dill, Cathie G. Dill, Jerry R. Pearce, and Frances M. Pearce in Fremont County
The question presented by this appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court was a 1909 water rights decree adjudicated an enforceable water right for the Campbell Ditch in nine springs. Yamasaki Ring, LLC, which owned some of the Campbell Ditch's water rights, asked the Court to answer the question in the affirmative. The Dills and the Pearces, who owned properties where water from the springs had been put to beneficial use since as early as 1903, urged the Court to answer the question in the negative. In two orders issued in 2016, the water court agreed with the Dills/Pearces and determined that the 1909 decree did not adjudicate a water right in the springs' water because it did not set forth "the necessary information" for adjudication, including an appropriation date, a priority number, or quantification details. Therefore, the water court concluded the Campbell Ditch's unquantifiable entitlement to "receive and conduct water" from the springs could not be enforced or administered against any adjudicated water rights. The Supreme Court agreed and therefore affirmed the water court's judgment. View "Concerning the Application for Water Rights of Donald E. Dill, Cathie G. Dill, Jerry R. Pearce, and Frances M.

Brexit divorce talks between UK and EU go down to the wire
LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Cabinet colleagues that it will require a "significant amount of work" to strike a Brexit deal with the European Union, amid signs of progress in last-minute talks but also deep-seated skepticism about the chances of an agreement. require(["medianetNativeAdOnArticle"], function (medianetNativeAdOnArticle) { medianetNativeAdOnArticle.getMedianetNativeAds(true); }); Britain is due to leave the 28-nation bloc on Oct. 31, and attempts to find a deal have foundered over plans for keeping an open border between EU member Ireland and the U.K.

(Bloomberg) -- U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Brexit deal was hanging in the balance Tuesday, after the European Union Presidency said more time was needed before a summit of its leaders this week.
Antti Rinne, premier of Finland -- which currently has the rotating presidency of the EU -- said negotiations may need to continue after the EU Council summit that starts Thursday.
"I think there is no time in a practical way and in a legal base to reach an agreement before the Council meeting, I think we need to have more time," Rinne told reporters in Helsinki.
Boris Johnson Strikes Brexit Deal With E.U.
BRUSSELS — Britain and the European Union agreed on the draft text of a withdrawal deal on Thursday, an 11th-hour breakthrough in Prime Minister Boris Johnson's effort to settle his country's anguished, yearslong debate over Brexit and pave the way for its departure from the bloc. The deal must still clear several hurdles, including approval from Europe's leaders and, most crucially, passage in the British Parliament, where Mr. Johnson's predecessor, Theresa May, suffered three thunderous defeats after bringing back an agreement with Brussels.
Boris Johnson has said he can see "a way forward" to reaching a deal with the EU in "all our interests" before Brexit is due to happen on 31 October. But the prime minister warned the cabinet there was still a "significant amount of work" to do, as EU and UK officials continue to hold talks.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been accused of politicizing the role of monarch. Amid a heady mix pomp and politics on Monday, Britain' s Queen Elizabeth II Johnson ' s predecessor Theresa May sought approval for her Brexit deal by parliament on three separate occasions, but each time failed.
With 16 days before the U.K. is due to leave the EU, Johnson repeatedly pledged to "get Brexit done," as he spoke in Parliament on Monday following a Queen's Speech that laid the ground for a general election. He's refused to ask for a delay to Brexit, even though the Benn Act says he must do so if he hasn't finalized a deal with both the EU and U.K. Parliament by Oct. 19.
The EU plans to decide Wednesday whether there will be a deal for leaders to sign during the Oct. 17-18 summit and has ruled out negotiating during the actual meeting of leaders.
Michel Barnier, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator, said on Wednesday that a deal is still possible this week -- but talks remain tough, saying it's high time to "turn good intentions in to a legal text." The pound climbed on his comments.
Boris Johnson can't celebrate his Brexit win for long
As Boris Johnson travels back to London from Brussels after proving the doubters wrong, Britain's leader has good reason to feel upbeat. Now, he faces what will likely be two of the most painful days of his career back in London. On Friday, Johnson will have to convince lawmakers across the political divide that they should back his new Brexit deal.It's a tough ask. The main opposition Labour Party hates the deal, and wants to negotiate its own one and then put that deal to a public referendum. Other opposition parties want to scrap Brexit altogether.
Boris Johnson is edging towards the parliamentary numbers needed to pass a Brexit deal after more hardline Eurosceptics and pro- deal Labour MPs indicated they could back a new agreement made with the EU. The prime minister will need to win over almost all the 28 Tory "Spartans" who held out
Boris Johnson and Brexit merchandise for sale at the Tory conference. The group, which includes former cabinet ministers, wrote in the Sunday Times: "We are particularly concerned that if the knife - edge negotiations fail or parliament blocks a deal , the Tory party may consider fighting a
Johnson postponed a meeting of his political cabinet to Wednesday, when it may become clearer whether a Brexit deal will be done this week, and the government will then be able to decide whether to call MPs in for a sitting Saturday.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Sajid Javid also announced Nov. 6 as the date for his annual Budget, but that will only take place if the government gets a Brexit deal.
With the clock ticking down, Johnson's Brexit opponents in the U.K. met Monday to discuss their next move. They concluded any deal Johnson brings back would probably be incomplete, meaning he'd likely have to delay Brexit anyway, according to two people familiar with the discussions.
Brexit Decision Day Looms as U.K Lawmakers Weigh Vote on Deal
Boris Johnson will put his Brexit deal to Parliament to accept or reject Saturday, knowing that his political future and that of the country he leads are on the line in the knife-edge vote. The U.K.'s 650 members of Parliament will convene in Westminster for only the fourth Saturday sitting since World War II to decide whether to endorse the Brexit agreement Johnson struck Thursday with the European Union.Will Johnson Win? We're Counting the VotesIf the British prime minister wins the critical vote, the country will be on course to leave the EU at the end of the month in an orderly break-up.

The group, which consists of some Labour MPs, the Liberal Democrats, Wales' Plaid Cymru, the Scottish National Party and Greens — alongside some former Conservatives — said they'd wait and see how the next 48 hours pans out.
If Johnson gets a deal they would then decide whether to seek a confirmatory public vote on it as a price for allowing it to pass Parliament, the people said.
But Johnson once again ruled out another referendum on Brexit on Monday.
"If there could be one thing more divisive more toxic than the first referendum, it would be a second referendum," he said.

Chapter 4 - Sanctification of the Spirit
It is the Word of God that we are going to read, it is not the word of man, it is God's Word which He has caused by His Holy Spirit to be written. And we shall read firstly two fragments of a general character and then one or two of a more specific nature. The first is Romans 8:9. "If any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His". That is God's Word; not mine or anyone else's. "If any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His". Now, the word "Spirit" is spelt with a capital "S" and it is necessary perhaps to point out that that does not mean just the kind of disposition that the Lord Jesus had. It does not mean that. We speak of people being of a very nice spirit, a kind spirit, a good spirit about them; it does not mean that at all; it means the Person of the Holy Spirit. It means having dwelling within, the Holy Spirit; the third Person of the Godhead who is known as the Spirit of Christ just as He is known in the Word of God as the Spirit of God. "If any man hath not the Spirit of Christ he is none of His" that is, he does not belong to Christ.
Now the other passage, the second of these two, is in the letter to the Ephesians 5:18: "Be filled with the Spirit". The first brings us into a relationship with the Lord Jesus. Our relationship with the Lord Jesus as saved men and women, as children of God, depends entirely upon our having received the Holy Spirit of God to dwell in us. That is a basic necessity to the Christian life, to salvation. The second passage is just as imperative and just as important for the purpose of God, and is just as much in the nature of a command and a demand, "Be filled with the Spirit".
Now, those are general passages. We turn to some more, of a more specific character, one in the book of Exodus 29:42,43: "It shall be a continual burnt offering at the door... and the tent shall be sanctified by My glory". We will refer to that again later. Let us turn back to the New Testament, 2 Thessalonians 2:13,14: "God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: He called you through our gospel to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ". I want especially to underline that little fragment, "In sanctification of the Spirit". 1 Peter 1:2: "...in sanctification of the Spirit". Back to 1 Cor. 6:11: "Ye were sanctified... in the Spirit of our God".
Now we continue with our subject of being filled with the Spirit. We have been seeing, as we have said, the absolute necessity for being filled with the Spirit - we have had tremendously stressed that that is God's will for us. We have seen that the new creation in Christ Jesus is that creation which is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, that God has brought into being a new creation, and "if any man be in Christ there is a new creation, old things are passed away, behold all has become new, and all things are of God" and it is all the work of the Holy Spirit. Now as to being filled with the Spirit, we want to know what is really basic to that. And in the first place we must say an all-inclusive thing about it, a thing which embraces everything else, and that is this: the all-inclusive prerequisite of being filled with the Spirit is:-
Now, I know that very often sanctification is put afterwards and not before, and perhaps passages of Scripture would support that if they were taken by themselves, but it is quite an imperfect and inadequate apprehension of the meaning of sanctification to put it after the filling of the Spirit. Sanctification comes before the filling of the Spirit in one very important respect. But there are three phases of sanctification which are the following.
Firstly, we are sanctified in Christ Jesus as an objective thing, something altogether outside of ourselves. If you read Hebrews 10 you will see how clearly that is set forth. The words with which we are so familiar in Hebrews 10:10 "By the which will we are sanctified". That is, "Lo, I come to do Thy will", said the Lord Jesus, "...sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all". Then verse 14, "For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified". "By the which will we have been sanctified by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all". That is something that is done altogether apart from us, outside of us. That is a sanctification which is in Him; our sanctification is perfected in Christ by the work of His Cross. It is completed, it is absolute, it is secured in the Person of the Lord Jesus by reason of what He did in His Cross. And we who believe, who have faith in Him and His work, by that faith inherit that salvation which is in Him, and then we are said to be in Christ. And in Christ we are perfectly sanctified by His own work apart from anything that we do. It is an objective thing by reason of position.
We shall have a word further to say about that, but in the second phase, following that, is a thing to be an act on our part. It is an act by which we become voluntarily separated unto God.
Now let us consider the nature of sanctification. What is sanctification? It is a big word about which a very great deal has been written, and so often the third phase of sanctification (to which we will refer in a moment) is allowed to come in and confuse the real meaning of this word. The Old Testament is full of this word. The translation of the Hebrew word is "consecrated", or another word is "devoted". And in the act of sanctifying, or consecrating, or devoting a thing to God, what was done is simply this: it was taken, separated from all its connections of every kind, all its old relationships and associations and cleansed by the efficacy of precious blood and from that time recognised as wholly belonging to God. It was God's. It was for God. God had all the rights in it, all the claims over it, and no one had any claim to it but God. And it was, therefore, called a consecrated or a sanctified thing.
Now, that is very simple, and that is the second phase of sanctification. It is an act whereby we choose deliberately to be wholly for God, separated absolutely unto God. I do not mean that we go into monasteries or convents and break away from other people of this world and business and so on, but that henceforth every interest of ours is for God. Our interests in our homes are God's interests; our interests in our businesses are God's interests; our interests in people are God's interests. Every kind of interest that we have in life is for God, for His ends, for His purposes, for His glory. So we are sanctified unto God and we will have no connection voluntarily, no association, no interest, no kind of relationship that is not brought completely into line with God's will, and God's purpose, and God's interest. It is all now unto God, our life wholly for God. That is sanctification by an act. We take our place in separation unto God in Christ. The hour, the day, or the moment comes when we see the great privilege which is ours of being God's and God's will for us. And we consecrate (and we can rightly use the other word, we sanctify) ourselves unto God - that is, we give ourselves wholly to the Lord. That is sanctification in an act, the second phase.
The third phase of sanctification is the one which, for most people, runs over all the rest, and that is the progressive aspect that what is true in Christ as to our position, and what is true by our deliberate act and choice of consecration to God, is now, by the Holy Spirit acting, to be progressively reached in us. This means that we are day by day being sanctified in the sense of being made like Christ, being separated day by day from all that from which He, as our representative, has been separated - from the world, as an evil thing, and all those things which are contrary to the mind of God. He has been separated by His Cross from all that and wholly consumed unto God, but representatively, for us. Christ there, wholly consumed to God is the type and representation of every believer according to the will of God.
So, He is sanctified as we are, we secondly choose to be related with Him, joined with Him in that absolute consecration unto God, consuming unto God, and then the Holy Spirit works that thing in, in an experimental way, and makes it positional and conditional; objective and subjective.
Now, the Lord is evidently concerned about our foundations. There you have sanctification in its threefold aspect, and that sanctification, especially in the first and second aspects, is absolutely basic to the filling of the Holy Spirit. We can never be filled with the Spirit until we have seen firstly that the Lord Jesus is our Representative before God of a life absolutely given to God, and then that we have taken upon the ground of that, a deliberate and definite step and said, "As He is for God, so am I; I choose to be joined with Christ in a total consecration to God. In the same measure in which He has been consumed unto God, I choose to be consumed unto God, and to be cut off from everything that is contrary to God". And that ground alone is the only hope of our being filled with the Spirit initially.
You see, the work of the Lord Jesus is basic to the work of the Holy Spirit. That is why we read that magnificent passage in Exodus 29. You ought to be really tremendously impressed by those words. There it says, "It shall be a continual burnt offering... at the door". The door is where you go in, this was access, and that tabernacle was Christ in representation, in type, and you come into Christ by way of a continual burnt offering at the door, wholly consumed unto God. You pass through the door, the continual burnt offering, and you make a straight line through, past the manna, in through the holy place into the most holy place, and what do you find? The Shekinah glory filling it. On what ground does the Shekinah glory fill the tabernacle? What is it that brings the glory of God in? It is that continual burnt offering. That continual burnt offering represents the work of the Lord Jesus in His Cross. The glory comes in because of the work of the Cross, but what is the glory? The presence of the Spirit of God who is called distinctly "the Spirit of glory". The Holy Spirit is the Sanctifier. "It shall be sanctified by My glory" is this word, in other words, sanctified by the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit sanctifies the tent by His presence. He is the Spirit of glory, but He only comes and sanctifies because of that continual burnt offering at the door.
Two things are brought together, the first and the last: the sacrifice, the burnt offering and the glory of sanctification, the two things brought together; they are one. That is an alternative way of saying just this, that sanctification by the Holy Spirit demands the basic work of Calvary where there is an absolute separation unto God. The Holy Spirit can only perform His work on the ground that we have accepted Christ's work in the Cross, and that work in the Cross, as we know, is that by which we are separated from the old Adam, from the flesh, and from everything that belongs to that creation which God has left and put aside, and it is in that Cross: separation unto an entirely new creation in Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit works on the basis of Calvary, the work of the Cross, and only so. "A continual burnt offering" and "sanctified by My glory", sanctification of the Spirit. We read again and again in the New Testament, "sanctification of the Spirit", that is the Holy Spirit's sanctifying, but He sanctifies on the basis of the work of the Lord Jesus in His Cross. That is how we come to sanctification to begin with.
Now let us look at one or two other things in this connection of sanctification by the Spirit. There must be a definite act of faith in this matter. There must be faith's apprehension of and testimony to Christ and His work in the Cross. Let us divide that into these two halves.
There must be faith's apprehension of Christ and His work in the Cross. I do not mean by "apprehension of Christ" simply that you believe that Jesus Christ was a living character in history, that He came into this world in a very wonderful way, that He lived a very good life and went about doing good, that He said very wonderful things and died a cruel death and it is written that He rose again, but that you see clearly that the Lord Jesus came into this humanity and represented us, that He took upon Himself as a man, Himself sinless, the sin of the whole race, and took the race and its sin and sinful nature in His own Person to the cross where all the judgment of God was poured out upon Him as representing the race, and that He died under the judgment of God in our place, in our stead. We must see that, and having died under the judgment of God, and having been cut off as us, we see the all-inclusive Sinner by His own voluntary act and choice, dealt with on Him by God. So far as God is concerned there is no more need for any judgment of sin at all, and when God raised Him from the dead He raised Him without any of that sin which He had taken on Himself, which was never in Him by nature, but which He had taken on. He was an entirely new creation, sinless, beyond the need or the power of judgment, and God took Him to His own right hand as representing a new race which God was going to bring into being. And there He is, having been our Representative in sin, death and judgment. He is now our Representative in sinlessness and no-condemnation and eternal life and glory. That is the Person of Christ and we must see Him representatively or substitutionally, as ourselves in the mind of God, and we by faith take Him as that.
Now, that is the simple gospel, and it will not do any of us any harm to contemplate Him afresh in that way, that by faith we see Him as our Saviour, and if we do not, the judgment which God meted upon Him for us will have to come upon us because we have not accepted our deliverance in Christ. We shall be held responsible for the sin that Christ took upon Himself if we do not take Him as our Sin-bearer. Being "in Christ" means that we have escaped from the penalty and judgment of sin and the wrath of God, and being accepted in Christ, we accept God's way of deliverance and salvation.
Now we have to exercise faith in an act, a deliberate way, to apprehend Christ and His work in the Cross, to take Him and His work for ourselves, for it was for us individually. All that work on the cross is as much for the individual as for the whole world; for every one of us. Unto the great command of God to be filled with the Spirit, with all that that means, one of these primary things is a Divine act of faith in apprehending Christ in His Person and in His work by the Cross. But then there is a second part of that: bearing testimony thereto. In the Word, during the first days of the Christian believers, immediately they saw this great truth of Christ, what He was, and by faith accepted Him, apprehended Him and His work for them, the very next thing that they did was to give testimony to their faith and their acceptance of Christ. They gave public testimony thereto. They declared themselves as to where they stood, they let all who could see, see where they were in this matter, and it is an essential part. It is not enough that the Word of God says, "If thou shalt believe in thine heart and confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, thou shalt be saved" - there must be an open declaration as to where we stand in this matter.
Now we go on, and it looks very much like repetition in what we are further going to say, but it is not. The next thing towards being filled with the Spirit is what we may call:-
An Absolute Yielding to God.
In the previous chapter another word was used - surrender. Now, whether you like that or not, it is right; it is true, whichever word you prefer: 'surrender' or 'yielding'. The New Testament seems to use 'yielding' more than 'surrender'.
Romans 6:16,19: "Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves as servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness unto sanctification." Note: sanctification; yielding unto sanctification.
Now, what does this yielding or surrendering carry with it? Romans 12:1: "Present, yield your bodies", there is a first connection. 1 Cor. 6:19,20: "Know ye not that your bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit?" 2 Cor. 5:15: "He died for all that they which live should henceforth... live unto Him who for their sakes died and rose again." Now I am putting the emphasis on this because it is here that the emphasis is not always put and not sufficiently put.
We perhaps very often accept the surrender or yielding of what we call our "hearts" to the Lord, or our spirit to the Lord. And we think of consecration or sanctification (or surrender or yielding) as something that is inward; and rightly so. But it is the whole being God claims: spirit, soul and body - that is what is meant by entire consecration - by entire sanctification, that the whole man or woman, spirit, soul and body is given to the Lord. And to me it is a tremendous thing that God says, "Your bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit" and not just in the sense that the Holy Spirit dwells in our hearts and our hearts are in our bodies and in that way logically our bodies become a temple of the Holy Spirit. No, in a more direct and immediate way God demands that these bodies should be wholly under the control, government, and sanctifying beauty of the Holy Spirit; that we cannot do one thing with our bodies and another thing with our souls and spirits, that we cannot be Christians somewhere inside and otherwise outside - that the whole being is God's.
"Know ye not that your bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit", "Know ye not that ye were bought with a price", "Know ye not that ye are not your own"? What does that threefold interrogation mean? Why, that on every ground every bit of us is claimed by God and should be recognised as belonging to God, and we should yield utterly to God's ownership: spirit, soul and body.
"Not your own". Man loves to be free to direct his own course and choose his own way, and make his own arrangements and judge his own judgments. But God claims to have the government of man's life in every part and that is sanctification, that God's rights are recognised in every part of our being. That is the strong side, the side of demand, where rights come in: God's rights. Oh, the unspeakable privilege and honour of having a whole man belonging to God... that God should have His way and His pleasure in a man's entire being - spirit, soul and body. Do you think that you will lose anything if you give yourself to God? Do you think that life will be a meaner, smaller, narrower thing by being consecrated to God? Do you think that you will have to give up all sorts of things and life will be stripped of its enjoyment and pleasure if you become wholly God's? There never was a bigger lie in the universe than that! Ask anyone who has let this world go for God and they will say, "There is immeasurable gain". Some of us know something of that and we would scorn to contemplate an exchange with the unsaved; not because we have never known what they know, not because we have never tasted what they are tasting; it is because we have. At best there is a hollowness in their hearts and it takes them all their time to keep it up. When one bit of pleasure has been exhausted, they have to rush off and find something more or life is going to fritter out and be a wretched thing, but we have in our hearts an eternal satisfaction and we are absolutely independent of that. The world says, "You never do this and that, you never go here and there and it does not seem to bother you very much". Yes, that is true, that is the testimony; that is the fact.
Total consecration does not narrow life; it enriches life, it brings you to the secret of life, making you know that you have got a being. It brings you into the thought of God before this world was created, "We were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world" and God purposed a purpose in His Son before the world was. But you never discover this until you have accepted Christ and then the very first thing a young convert knows is that they have something to live for. They do not understand it, but they feel, "Now I know why I have come into this world." A purpose comes in, and to be wholly God's is not to lose; it is to gain, to come into the expansion of everything.
Suffer these familiar repetitions. The Lord does want us to know that to be wholly His is by no means to suffer loss, but to come fully into His thought and purpose for us. "Yield your bodies". Does that challenge us? Have we separated these things and thought of sanctification as something which belongs to the inner man, something spiritual, but we have not brought our bodies into that realm? What are we doing with our bodies? They are God's; they are temples of the Holy Spirit. And this was said to Corinthians, and it was said to these Corinthians at a time when they were failing to recognise this great fact, in order to correct them in their conduct. They were the Lord's children, they had been born again, but things were not just as they should be and they were making a profession of Christ and in the religious realm they were carrying out the Christian ordinances and regulations, but in the realm of their bodies there were still some serious delinquencies and they were not dividing between the two. "Don't you know that these bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit? Don't you know that you are not your own? Don't you know that you were bought with a price? Therefore, glorify God in your body." That is sanctification by the Holy Spirit, that is the work of the Cross, you see, paving the way for the sanctification of the spirit unto the glory following.
I mention three things, without dwelling upon them, as necessary to the filling, or being filled with the Spirit and of remaining filled with the Spirit. The next thing is: obedience. That is, believing God and acting on your belief in God, obeying God in everything upon which He puts His finger. That means not arguing about it, questioning, doubting it, but if He has pointed out anything, that you give God the benefit of the doubt, if there is a doubt. You are obedient. Any reservation in that trust in God which leads to implicit obedience, will at once grieve the Holy Spirit and limit Him. And do not forget that "grieved" is a love term. You cannot grieve anybody who does not love you. You may injure them, you may in a way hurt them, but you cannot grieve them. You only grieve people who love you, and when it says, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit" it means: do not do despite to the love of the Spirit, do not violate the Spirit's love for you. And that means, in effect, that you will not for one moment tolerate anything that the Spirit is against; if you do, you grieve the Spirit and immediately He is limited. Obedience to the Spirit is obedience to the love of God and that is basic to both being filled with and remaining filled with the Spirit.
We must mention two other things, the first being prayer. Do not neglect your prayer life; if you do, you will soon discover that the Holy Spirit again is checked and the life of fulness of the Spirit ceases to be your joyful experience. Watch your prayer life. The enemy is always out to counter the mighty results of a life filled with the Spirit and one of his main objects of attack is the curtailment of personal prayer life, cutting it short, interfering with it, putting his hand upon it to somehow encamp upon the secret ground of your prayer life. And that is a work against the Holy Spirit and the result of the Holy Spirit in your prayer life.
The second thing is: the Word. A rich life in the Word of God is indispensable to a life of the fulness of the Spirit. You must dwell much in the Word. Do not think that the Holy Spirit is going to be a sort of substitute for the Word of God. A lot of people think the Holy Spirit will act and give them a message to speak and they do not do anything with regard to the Word of God. It is a pernicious peril. The word says, "Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly" and the Holy Spirit demands the indwelling Word as the instrument and means of His work in us. The mental grasp of the Scriptures is not enough; we do not want to have a theoretical knowledge of the Lord. We want to live in the Word of God in order that the Holy Spirit may illuminate it, bring it up, and direct us by it.
You remember, everything in the days of Josiah's great revival was "according to the word of God", how frequently that was repeated, "according to the word of David", "according to the word of Solomon", everything was "according to the Word". That is, they had gone to the Word and their actions were being governed by the Scriptures. And the Holy Spirit must govern our lives by the Word of God. Look after your life in the Word. And do not forget that the enemy equally is out to monopolise our time, but we have got somehow to have this life in the Word of God. You will find that any life truly filled with the Spirit, is a life richly endued with the Word of God, a life that always walks with God in His Word. These are simple, elementary, basic things, but very necessary.
Now we have come to see the ground on which we can be filled with the Spirit. We have to ask ourselves, "What about my life in the Word of God? Have I been neglecting that? Is that a poor shrunken thing?" Shall we put that right now? What about our prayer life, has that been less than we know that it ought to have been, much less than the Lord would have it? What about our obedience? Is there something where the Lord has spoken to us, something in ourselves He has shown, perhaps rebuked us, something He wants us to do or not to do? We know perhaps best ourselves just where the point of obedience is raised for us with the Lord. What about the Holy Spirit's life in us - is it checked by withholding obedience? What about yielding the whole man to the Lord? What about these bodies being presented as well as these souls? Where have we violated the Spirit in the realm of our bodies? Have we asked, concerning that bodily matter, "Is that according to the mind of God? The way I use my body, treat my body, the way I deal with my body, where I let my body go, is that glorifying? My indulgences, is it all glorifying to God, is it for God that I do that?" Is there anything in our bodies that we can say that cannot be for the glory of God? "Present your bodies... Know ye not that your bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit?" Then getting right back to the first thing, of some whom it could not be said, "Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit" because the Holy Spirit has never yet come in. Have you accepted the Lord Jesus in all the work of His Cross for your salvation? Have you accepted Him by faith? May that be a transaction between you and the Lord.

Successes and challenges in moving ahead on Gansevoort Market Historic District
Late 2002 promises to be a critical time for our campaign to preserve the history, scale, and character of the Gansevoort Market neighborhood, Manhattan's last remaining historic market district.
Last fall we presented the New York City Landmarks Preservation (LPC) Commission with a persuasive argument, prepared by architectural historian Thomas Mellins and funded by Preserve NY (a grant program of the NY State Preservation League and NY State Council on the Arts), for the area's historical and architectural significance. Since then, we have met regularly with the LPC Chair and staff to update them on our efforts and meet their requests for informationnecessary to move forward on consideration of a district designation. As a result, we are presenting them with thorough building-by-building research on the entire district, photo-documentation and current use surveys of all buildings, and documentation of the area's critical industrial history.
Early this year, the LPC Commissioner committed to take action in Gansevoort by the second half of 2002. Our completed case for designation will be submitted to the Commission in early September. It is our hope that shortly thereafter the Commission will vote to calendar our proposed Gansevoort Historic District for a formal hearing.
We also hope to meet with the Department of City Planning to discuss zoning tools which, in addition to landmarking, could be helpful to preserve Gansevoort's unique character. We have taken senior staff at the Department of Business Services Commissioner on a tour of the area, to demonstrate Gansevoort's vital and diverse small business base and to work with them to formulate ways to protect it. In July, we secured a determination of eligibility for Gansevoort Market for listing on the State and National Register of Historic Places, which can provide some protection for the area, along with incentives and assistance for building preservation. This is the first determination of eligibility for a new area of Greenwich Village for listing on the National Register in over a generation. (Click here for more information.) We will be filing an extensive application for listing of the entire district in the fall (this is the first determination of eligibility for a new area of Greenwich Village for listing on the Register in over a generation). Lastly, Council Member Christine Quinn has requested on our behalf that the City's Independent Budget Office prepare an analysis of Gansevoort's economic output and growth, especially from its industrial base, to help make the case for preserving the businesses which provide the area's 1,000+ blue-collar jobs.
Meanwhile, we continue to firm up support for our campaign among preservationists and elected officials citywide, and have demonstrated our broad public support with over 5,000 postcards sent to the LPC by individuals supporting our historic district designation plan. We have also been successful in keeping a high profile for Gansevoort in the mainstream and preservation press, securing coverage in the New York Times, on ABC News, and in Preservation Magazine, among others. We have also produced a 28-page self-guided walking tour booklet of the neighborhood, highlighting the area's unique features and further building a constituency for its preservation, (call the GVSHP office at (212) 475-9585 if you desire a copy).
Of course, the threats to the district which originally spawned this campaign continue. The proposal for a 32-story, 400-foot tall luxury high-rise development at 848 Washington Street (at 13th Street) remains under consideration by the City's Board of Standards and Appeals. However, our strong opposition and that of a broad range of community leaders, elected officials, and even the City's own Department of City Planning, has delayed any further movement on that proposal. We are keeping a watchful eye on that process. To our disappointment, the City's Department of Environmental Protection has decided not to use the parking lot, located between Gansevoort, Hudson, 13th Street and 9th Avenue, as a staging area for water tunnel construction. This would have precluded development on the site for some time and possibly facilitated the development of a park there, a prospect which we strongly supported. Instead, the parking lot site has been cleared and the property owner has resurrected a plan for a hotel development. We are working closely with our local elected officials and the Community Board to see if the City acted appropriately in reversing its original decision to use this site, and will closely monitor the situation and any new development plans. Beyond that, several alterations and additions to buildings in the district have moved forward or been announced recently, underscoring the need for designation quickly in order to ensure that building changes maintain the area's distinctive and historic character.
We have begun a new postcard campaign calling upon the LPC to immediately schedule a hearing for designation. Kicked off at the Meat Markets' Annual Bastille Day celebration, our postcard campaign gathered hundreds of signatures in its very first day. If you would like hard copies of the postcard for yourself or to distribute, please contact us at (212) 475-9585.
We ask that you please send short note or letter to the Landmarks Preservation Commission Chair and the Mayor expressing similar sentiments. You can use as a model (or print out) the letters accessible below.
The next few months will be critical to building on these efforts and securing the protections the Gansevoort Market area needs. If we do not succeed now, we may not get a second chance to save this unique and treasured part of New York.
We hope that you will continue to remain interested in our efforts, and we expect to have more developments, and hopefully more successes, to report to you soon.

Recommended camera gear??
IanM replied to James 'Jamie C' Croucher's topic in Storm Chase USAMy advice is to go as wide and as fast as you can. I don't think I ever used a long lens on a chase, and once the wind, dust, rain and hail start flying you don't want to be swapping lenses. The 10-18 is a decent work horse, I'd be tempted to give the 17-40 a try out too for speed and image quality. You can always stitch shots together if needed.. Keep the 18-200 in the main bag for down day walk about use. Enjoy the tour and don't forget to put the camera down and take it all in sometimes! Ian

IanM replied to Paul Sherman's topic in Storm Chase USAFun day but nothing spinny, we did get battered by hail on the way to Norman, and a surprise lp cell popped up to deliver some structure too.
This puts things into perspective, we were less than half a mile from the debris and storm track of what may be one of the longest lived ef5's on record.
Enormous wedge. Reports of injuries and properties destroyed, we waited until it passed and checked noone needed help before heading to Salina for the night. We passed through Chapman, and with everyone's agreement were about to head back to see if they needed help, but good news came from a local who spoke to his sister in town, the tornado missed them by around 400m to the south, the debris signature was most likely the significant tree damage. Over 2 hours on the ground, averaging around a mile wide. Hopefully no fatalities.
Another day, another huge tornado... (and the only play in town right now too)
One more before shower and departure
It's gone 1am and we just reached our hotel in Pratt, so here's a quick edit of one of the sets of twins
Just the 17 tornadoes today, will share some more later including 3 sets of twins and a very rare triple tornado (if I got a shot).

Advanced Pivot Point Trading
Soultrader posted a topic in Trading ArticlesInitially used by floor traders, pivot points have become widely popular among the trading public. Pivot points are simple mathematical calculations used to determine support and resistance levels based on the close, high, and low. Depending on a traders preference, one may choose to use the midpoints, weekly, and monthly pivot levels in combination with the daily pivot levels. Pivot points can also be ranked in terms of importance: monthly coming first, weekly second, and the daily pivot in third. Similar to moving averages, the 200 period moving average will act as a stronger support/resistance than the 20 period moving average. This concept can be applied to pivot points as well. The S3 and R3 pivot points are usually a good level to fade since price will usually remain between these two levels. I will use the midpoints for the daily pivot point calculations but not for the weekly and monthly pivots. Here is the formula I use for pivot points: R3 = R2 + RANGE (same as: PP + RANGE * 2) R2 = PP + RANGE R1 = (2 * PP) - LOW PP = (HIGH + LOW + CLOSE) / 3 S1 = (2 * PP) - HIGH S2 = PP - RANGE S3 = S2 - RANGE (same as: PP - RANGE * 2) Simply divide the two pivots to find the midpoints. Example: (S1+S2)/2 = midpoint There are some rules when applying midpoints to the daily pivot calculations. In trading the Dow mini-sized futures contract, the distance between the two pivots must be over 40 points when applying the midpoint. The only exception to this rule is when the midpoints line up with the previous day's high, previous day's low, weekly pivot, monthly pivot, value low, value high, POC, or an unfilled gap. By using the midpoints for the daily pivot calculation, you will get 13 set of numbers between S3 and R3. Calculating the weekly and monthly pivots (without midpoints) will give you an additional 14 set of numbers. This will give you a total of 27 price levels. Advanced Pivot Point Analysis My core trading method is based on identifying key price levels using pivot point cluster zones. A cluster zone is an area in which pivot points line up within 10 points of each other. In addition to the daily, weekly, and monthly pivots I will identify the previous day's high, previous day's low, previous day's 50% range, unfilled gap, value low, value high, and POC (point of control). This gives me a total of 33 price levels. What I am looking for is any of these pivots to line up with each other and create a cluster zone. Let's take a look at the chart posted below. On August 21st, we have the following: High: 11418 Low: 11342 Midpoint between daily pivot and R1: 11413 Daily Pivot: 11389 Value High: 11381 Previous days 50% range: 11365 S1: 11361 Value Low: 11349 Midpoint between S1 and S2: 11339 By looking at these few numbers, we are able to come up with 4 key cluster zones. The first zone is the cluster between the high at 11418 and midpoint at 11413. This 5 point range is a cluster zone that will act as key resistance/support. The second zone is the cluster between the daily pivot at 11389 and value high at 11381. I will take the midpoint of these two levels at 11385 to base my trading decision. The third zone is the cluster between the previous days 50% range at 11365 and the S1 pivot at 11361. This area will also act as key resistance/support. The fourth zone is the cluster between the low at 11342 and the midpoint at 11339. This will be a key support zone. Of course you will have trading days when only 1 or 2 cluster zones exist. On these days I look to get into a sniper trading mode, looking for one or two good opportunities and focusing on my entry points. Trading setups using these cluster zones goes beyond the scope of this article. I just want to introduce a different method of pivot point analysis. Learn more about this trading method on my website through multimedia presentations and charts. Good luck and best of trading.
Pivot Points Question
bornebybees posted a topic in Day Trading and ScalpingHello traders, this is my first post on the forum. I'm getting started with some paper trading using pivot point strategy and I have a question about how to approach this situation from a purely strategic position and make a decision: Thursday (yesterday) I bought PM just below the pivot, at $73.26, with the intent of selling when the stock hit R1. R1 for PM on Thursday was $75.10. However the stock didn't make it that far, and topped out at $74.50, and then closed at $73.78. I decided to hang onto it overnight and see what was on tap for Friday. Calculating Friday's pivots of course yielded different numbers for R1 than Thursday's. Friday's R1 is $74.49. Question 1: Which day's R1 should I use w/rt selling this position? What is the best way to approach this situation from a strategy based on pivot points? As it turns out, PM surpassed Friday's R1 and topped out at $74.59. It was on a roll so I held onto it, hoping it might nudge up a little closer to Thursday's R1. But it didn't get that far, and ended up closing at $74.52 - above Friday's R1 but below Thursday's R1. Once again I decided to hang on, though thinking it might have been wise to sell off right at the end of the day. Question 2: Should I just sell it now or wait till Monday? Will there be a potential intra-week volatility that would be better simply avoided? Insight from seasoned experts would be appreciated. As I paper trade I see and learn from my mistakes on a daily basis and would like to base my future instincts on sound strategy. Thanks!
Dharmik Team posted a topic in TradingIn this article we will discuss about a widespread, well-known key element of technical analysis. Why do you think technical analysis especially some elements work so well for financial markets? Why do you think Fibonacci levels are usually strictly followed? Because thousands and billions of traders and computer programs for trading use these elements. This way everybody acts the same at the same time… This is why we decided to present in the category of technical analysis, the most used and well-known methods of predicting financial evolution. These methods are easy to understand and are very efficient. We will discuss about pivots. We will find out what pivots are and how they are calculated. We will use them in our charts and we will see how they act. We will discover how useful they are and, at the end, we will draw the conclusions. We will use pivots daily in our analyzing and trading system. 1. What are the pivots? Pivot points are a technique used by professional traders and market makers to determine entry and exit points for the trading day based on the previous day's trading activity. It's best to use this technique after determining the direction of the trend. Simply put, a pivot point and its support/resistance levels are areas at which the direction of price movement can possibly change. Pivots can be extremely useful in Forex since many currency pairs usually fluctuate between these levels. Pivots can be used as well in indices' market, DOW and S&P being trade by the same people, so the same methods are used. 2. How are the pivots calculated? The pivot point and associated support and resistance levels are calculated by using the last trading session's open, high, low, and close. The calculation for a pivot point is shown below: Pivot point (PP) = (High + Low + Close) / 3 Support and resistance levels are then calculated off the pivot point like so: First level support and resistance: First support (S1) = (2*PP) – High First resistance (R1) = (2*PP) – Low Second level of support and resistance: Second support (S2) = PP – (High – Low) Second resistance (R2) = PP + (High - Low) S3 = S2 – (High – Low) R3 = R2 + (High – Low) Don't worry you don't have to perform these calculations yourself. We will automatically insert these values in our analysis. Also keep in mind that some charting software also provides additional pivot point features such as a third support and resistance level and intermediate levels or mid-point levels (levels in between the main pivot point and support and resistance level). We presented the classical method of calculating pivot points. There are also some newer alternatives such as: Woodie, Camarilla, DeMark. For a deeper view into these methods you can find them on the internet. We don't recommend spending time with this because only a few traders actually use them. So it hardly counts in market's evolution 3. Chart examples for Dow and e-mini S&P 500. Let us study a few days in market evolution and see how these indices acted: a. We will first discuss about the day before Dow Jones reached the highest point in its entire evolution. Based on last trading session's data, we calculated the pivot points. During the first part of the day Dow tried twice to grow above 14.150 and each time bounced back. The price is going down towards the day's pivot. After the accumulation zone, the price descends roughly to the first support (S1). After another accumulation zone, the price goes down until it meets the second support. The Low of the day was 14.000 points. The price will grow to S1 and the day closes in that area. We can see how precise the market evolution was regarding the two estimated values. b. This is the analysis for the day of June 19th 2007. The price bounced back from the pivot and descended to S1. After an accumulation zone it goes up to the pivot and even reaches R1. Here, the prive bounced back three times and descends subsequently towards S1. The trading session closed at a value near the pivot. We can observe now that the three zones of support, resistance and accumulation overlap the mathematical points we calculated. c. In the next example there is the date April 5th 2007. DOW descends to S1, bounces back, goes up to the pivot and then passes a long accumulation zone and ascends to R1. After another short accumulation zone the price goes up to R2 where it bounces back. The day closes at R1. 4. Conclusions a) As the charts show, these mathematicaly calculated points are extremely useful, the market's evolution overlapping them. Most of the traders use this method. b) Trading methods based only on pivots analysis can be found and can work very well. These methods can be harmoniously correlated with other methods of financial analysis resulting in a complete and complex trading system approaching financial reality. c) We often use these pivot points amongst other various methods of analysis that we will describe later.
