Pivot points are a great way for technical traders to pick entry and exit points.  Now that the fed meeting is behind us, I believe technical levels will be more reliable in the financial markets.  We have the quarterly USDA report today at 11 CST, so we could see heightened volatility in the grain markets.  With the expected volatility I would recommend using the points R2 and S2 rather than R1 and S1.  These levels should be substantially stronger support and resistance.
