• Our Methodology
• Each of our expert analysts covers multiple asset
  classes - Forex, Equity Indices, Commodities and
  Fixed Income - and applies technical analysis
  methods that are appropriate to each asset type
  The techniques that can be applied to Equity
  Indices may not work for spot FX. Therefore the
  analysis method used by each analyst has the same
  overall objective which is met by using slightly
  different techniques. Additionally, at PIA First
  we 'overlay' our own unique bespoke system which
  highlights areas of support and resistance,
  essential knowledge when trading any market.
• Technical analysis is the study of price and
  volume with the sole aim of forecasting future
  price movements. Our analysis reports look at
  these variables together with various indicators,
  which are mathematical transformations of price,
  in order to verify whether a market is trending
  or trading is controlled by willing buyers or
  anxious sellers is subdued or has over-reacted.
  We identify areas of support and resistance,
  trend lines, patterns and other variables. We
  deliver you all this information in our easy to
  read report along with a clear, actionable
  trading strategy based on our analytical views.

Performance Report

• Check our Profit and Loss report updated monthly
  -We publish the performance of our daily trading
  strategies so you can see how well our trade
  ideas have performed on a theoretical basis. Each
  trading strategy and its updates are date time
  stamped via the email delivery service and
  recorded via the market price at that time. Using
  our performance methodology detailed below, we
  calculate the performance for every daily
  predictive strategy that we publish. Historic
  performance is recorded in our pips table
  demonstrating a total points theoretical points
  return per month since May 2008.
• Performance report calculation -The Entry
  Level/Trigger is taken from a fusion of ASPEN,
  Saxo IG Market charting packages. As our
  performance is theoretical, in an attempt to
  achieve a fair reflection, we consult with
  multiple platforms (Exchange, CFD
  Spread-betting) A trade is considered open when
  prices on any platform have traded within a tick
  of the trigger price. A winning trade is
  considered closed when prices on any platform
  have traded within a tick of the target price. A
  losing trade is considered closed when prices on
  any platform have traded a tick through the stop
  price. A trade is considered closed at the price
  at 2100 hrs (UK) or 0600 hrs UK for
  Asian/Pacific, when prices on any platform have
  not achieved target or stop price.
