Pivot Points

Pivot Points are a means of approximating support or resistance levels.  This Pivot Points indicator is designed to be used on a Daily Chart.

 

Pane: Overlay

 

Formula:  Previous Days High, Low, and Close values are used to calculate Today's Pivot Point Levels

 

R2 = PIVOT + (High - Low) = PIVOT + (R1 - S1)

 

R1 = (PIVOT x 2) - Low

 

PIVOT = (High + Low + Close) / 3

 

S1 = (PIVOT x 2) - High

 

S2 = PIVOT - (High - Low) = PIVOT - (R1 - S1)

 

Properties:  

 

Input: The Symbol field on which the study will be calculated.

 

High:  Field used in calculations for High.  Default is High.

 

Low:   Field used in calculations for Low.  Default is Low.

 

Close:  Field used in calculations for Close.  Default is Close.

 

PivDispl:  Displacement for plot placement.  Default is 1, which projects the study values 1 bar into the future.

 

PIVOT:  The color, line style and line width of the PIVOT plot.

 

S1:  The color, line style and line width of the S1 plot.

 

S2:  The color, line style and line width of the S2 plot.

 

R1:  The color, line style and line width of the R1 plot.

 

R2:  The color, line style and line width of the R2 plot.
