Pivot Point Calculator by TradingFinder
TradingFinder’s Pivot Point Calculator provides insights into determining key price levels and anticipating potential market movements.
What are Pivot Points?
Pivot Points are technical indicators used to determine potential Support and Resistance levels. They are calculated using the previous period’s High, Low, and Close prices.
Pivot Points are particularly useful in markets with high liquidity, such as Forex, Indices, and Commodities, as they provide a mathematical framework for anticipating price action without the need for complex indicators.
How to Calculate Pivot Points?
There are multiple strategies for calculating pivot points based on High (H), Low (L), and Close (C) prices, each with unique formulas and applications. TradingFinder Pivot Point Calculator’s strategies:
- Fibonacci
- DeMark
- Camarilla
- Woodie
- Floor
Fibonacci Pivot Points
Fibonacci-based pivots use standard calculations but integrate Fibonacci retracement levels.
PP (Pivot Point) | (H+L+C)/3 |
R1 (Resistance) | PP+((H-L)×0.382) |
R2 | PP+((H-L)×0.618) |
R3 | PP+((H-L)×1.000) |
S1 (Support) | PP-((H-L)×0.382) |
S2 | PP-((H-L)×0.618) |
S3 | PP-((H-L)×1.000) |
DeMark Pivot Points
DeMark’s method is unique as it adjusts the Pivot Point based on the relationship between the opening and closing prices:
X (If Close < Open) | H+(2×L)+C |
X (If Close > Open) | (2×H)+L+C |
X (If Close = Open) | H+L+(2×C) |
PP (Pivot Point) | X/4 |
R1 (Resistance) | (X/2)-L |
S1 (Support) | (X/2)-H |
Camarilla Pivot Points
Camarilla Pivot Points are particularly useful for short-term and day trading strategies, as they provide more detailed levels compared to traditional Floor pivot points.
PP (Pivot Point) | (H+L+C)/3 |
R1 (Resistance) | C+(1.1×(H-L))/12 |
R2 | C+(1.1×(H-L))/6 |
R3 | C+(1.1×(H-L))/4 |
R4 | C+(1.1×(H-L))/2 |
S1 (Support) | C-(1.1×(H-L))/12 |
S2 | C-(1.1×(H-L))/6 |
S3 | C-(1.1×(H-L))/4 |
S4 | C-(1.1×(H-L))/2 |
Woodie Pivot Points
Woodie’s formula places greater weight on the closing price rather than just the average of high, low, and close. This method is particularly popular among day traders and scalpers, as it adjusts pivot calculations based on recent market sentiment.
PP (Pivot Point) | (H+L+(2×C))/4 |
R1 (Resistance) | (2×PP)-L |
R2 | P+H-L |
S1 (Support) | (2×PP)-H |
S2 | P-H+L |
Floor Pivot Points
Floor is among the most commonly used methods for calculating pivot points in trading. They are called "Floor" pivots because floor traders initially used them in exchanges to determine potential support and resistance levels for the upcoming trading session.
PP (Pivot Point) | (H+L+C)/3 |
R1 (Resistance) | (2×PP)-L |
R2 | PP+H-L |
R3 | H+2×(PP-L) |
S1 (Support) | (2×PP)-H |
S2 | P-H-L |
S3 | L-2×(H-P) |
Applications of TradingFinder's Pivot Point Calculator
The TradingFinder product provides a structured way to analyze price movements, helping traders identify entry, exit, and stop-loss placements.
