The Camarilla Pivot Points L3/4 D/W with Labels Alerts indicator provides daily, weekly, or monthly S3, S4, R3, and R4 Camarilla levels to help traders identify key market structure and potential price extremes. This tool is designed to offer a clean charting experience by focusing specifically on the most significant Camarilla levels while offering customizable visual markers and alerts for price crossovers.

Usage

The Usage section focuses on identifying price reaction zones based on Camarilla theory. Traders typically use the L3 (S3) and H3 (R3) levels as reversal points, while the L4 (S4) and H4 (R4) levels are often viewed as breakout or deep exhaustion points.

  • Market Extremes: Use the R4 and S4 levels to identify potential overextended market conditions where price might reverse or accelerate.
  • Decluttering: If you prefer a cleaner chart, you can disable the lines entirely. By setting the transparency to 100%, the lines disappear from the main chart area but the price values remain visible on the right-side price scale.
  • Label Positioning: Use the "Label Offset" setting to move the S3/S4 and R3/R4 labels horizontally. Setting a negative offset (e.g., -8) helps place the labels near the right axis for easier identification of current levels.
  • Alerts: The script includes built-in alert conditions for when price crosses any of the four plotted levels, allowing for passive monitoring of key Camarilla zones.

Details

Camarilla pivot points are calculated based on the previous period's high, low, and close. Unlike standard floor pivots, Camarilla pivots use a specific multiplier (0.55 for level 4 and 0.275 for level 3) to determine support and resistance. These levels are particularly effective in range-bound markets for identifying "reversal to mean" opportunities at the level 3 bounds, or breakout opportunities when level 4 is breached.

Settings

  • Resolution: Choose the timeframe for the pivot calculation (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly).
