Forex Pivot Points Publisher's Description.

Floor traders love pivot points. They act as magnet for price movements.

If you observe how price move during any trading session, you'll notice that price often stalls or stops at pivot points before resuming its movement. To calculate daily forex pivot points you need High, Low, and Close Price of the previous day. Simply set these three prices in the Forex Pivot Point Calculator and it will give the values.

Here are the used formulas for calculating daily pivot points:

P = (High + Low + Close) / 3;

R3 = High + 2 * (P - Low);

S3 = Low – 2 * (High - P)

As you can see from the above formula, just by having the previous day's high, low and close you eventually finish up with 7 points, 3 resistance levels, 3 support levels and the actual pivot point.

If the market opens above the pivot point then the bias for the day is long trades. If the market opens below the pivot point then the bias for the day is for short trades.

The three most important pivot points are R1, S1 and the actual pivot point.

The general idea behind trading pivot points is to look for a reversal or break of R1 or S1. By the time the market reaches R2, R3 or S2, S3 the market will already be overbought or oversold and these levels should be used for exits rather than entries.

Forex Pivot Points calculator is compatible with Microsoft Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/Vista. Net Framework v2 is required to run the program. Free to download, use and distribute - no registration is needed.

Pivot Point Calculator Rules.

Pivot (P) = (H + L + C) / 3.

The floor pivot points , presented in the first column of the calculation results table, are the most basic and popular type of pivots used in Forex trading technical analysis. The pivot point is interpreted as the primary support/resistance level — the point at which the main trend will be born. First-third level resistance and support points serve as additional indicators of possible trend reversal or continuation. The formula to calculate floor pivot points are quite simple.

Tom DeMark's.

If Close < Open Then X = H + 2 × L + C.

If Close > Open Then X = 2 × H + L + C.

If Close = Open Then X = H + L + 2 × C.

New High = X / 2 − L.

New Low = X / 2 − H.

Other popular method of calculating the pivots to forecast the future of the trend is Tom DeMark's pivot points , which are not pivot points exactly, but are the predicted lows and highs of the period. To calculate DeMark's pivot points follow the rules displayed on the right.

Pivot (P) = (H + L + 2 × C) / 4.

Woodie's pivot points are similar to floor pivot points, but are calculated in a somewhat different way, giving more weight to the Close price of the previous period. To calculate Woodie's pivot points, the presented pivot point calculator uses the rules presented to the right.

Camarilla pivot points are a set of eight very probable levels which resemble support and resistance values for a current trend. The origin and the precise way to calculate these pivot points are unclear. The most important is that these pivot points work for all traders and help in setting the right stop-loss and take-profit orders. The given rules are used to calculate Camarilla pivot points.

You can find a history of the Camarilla pivot points method and some interesting examples of its usage in a short e-book entitled Camarilla Levels.

You might also be interested in our Fibonacci calculator. It will help you to calculate the retracement levels of the completed trend waves. The resulting levels can then be used in combination with pivots generated by this calculator to fine-tune your entry and exit levels.

Forex pivot point is a level in which the sentiment of traders and investors changes from bull to bear or vice versa. They work simply because many individual forex traders and investors use and trust them, as well as bank and institutional traders. It is known to every trader that the pivot point is an important measure of strength and weakness of any market.

Last week I spoke to you about the power of historical support and resistance levels to give us advance insight into the way prices can behave over the coming days, weeks and months.

Today I’d like to look at some short-term levels that you can use as a guide in day trading.

What I’m talking about are five horizontal lines that you can draw on your chart every morning that give you some serious clues about which way the market will go … where it might bounce back or hesitate … and where you can expect a breakout to move to …

It only takes a few moments each morning to calculate these levels and mark them up on your chart. I think you’ll find that it’s time well spent.

What the markets hinge on.

The lines I’m talking about here are pivot points. And once you get used to seeing them on your chart each morning – you’ll feel lost without them.

For many years, traders have used these support and resistance levels, and you’ll find that they really come into their own when you’re looking for entry and exit levels for your trades.

The key pivot points are 5 levels: central pivot point; resistance 1; resistance 2; support 1; support 2.

Plotted on a chart, they’ll look something like this:

This chart is a day that I chose at random from the FTSE last month. The green line is the central pivot point – this is our most important level. Above it are two levels of resistance: R1 & R2. Below it are two levels of support: S1 & S2.

Each of these lines can offer a degree of support and resistance to the price. Of course, as with all trading signals, it’s not an exact science.

This week I’d like to show you exactly how to calculate these levels and put them up on your chart – and next week, I’ll show the strategies you can apply to them.

The calculation for pivot points is dead simple, and I’ve laid it out below. However, I really don’t see any reason for getting the calculator out, when someone else (namely me!) is prepared to do the work for you.

That’s why I’m offering my own pivot point calculator (it’s just a very basic Excel spreadsheet) as a free download to all Trader’s Bulletin members.

All you need to do is check the high, low and close prices on the daily chart for the previous day’s trading, and input those into the calculator.

The calculator will give you your five key pivot point levels. Switch to a smaller timeframe that you work on for day trading (say a 5 or 10 minute chart), and add these five levels to your chart.

You’ll also see on the calculator some more advanced levels – R3 & S3, plus mid-levels of M1, M2, M3 and M4 (we’ll get on to those next week).

(Some charting packages will calculate and draw your pivot lines for you, which can save you even more time.)

And if you prefer to do it long-hand, here are the calculations (H = previous day’s high; L = previous day’s low; C = previous day’s closing price):

Using pivot points in forex trading.

Pivot points can be applied across all instruments, including forex. However, because forex markets are 24-hour, you need to give a little thought to what reference you’re going to use for highs, lows and closing prices for the trading “day”.

Some traders will use pivot points based on Eastern Standard Time, others will use points based on GMT. Both are valid, and my advice would be to work with the session that you trade – i. e. if you’re trading the London session, use GMT. If you’re unsure what times your broker’s prices work to, it’s worth dropping them a line to double-check.

How to use pivot points to make profits.

Pivot points are powerful tools for identifying entry and exit levels, and for spotting the key levels that need to be broken for a move to qualify as a breakout.

Next week, I’ll show you some quick and simple strategies that you can use to apply these tools to your trading.

Another great guide – thanks Mark.

Thanks for the feedback. Hope it’s working well for you.

Good clear thinking. All lines are imaginary in trading. It is how the mind interpret the price behaviour around it that is the key to trading. Stop loss and riding profit is the name of the game.

Too true – good luck with your pivot point trading.
