Ultimate Pivot Points
Jul 30, 2020

The Ultimate Pivot Points indicator provides a comprehensive multi-timeframe suite of pivot levels, combining standard Pivot, Woodie, Fibonacci, and Camarilla calculations into a single tool for identifying key support and resistance. By aggregating these various methodologies and including previous period high/low levels, it offers traders a robust framework for intraday and swing trading price action analysis.
Usage
The Usage section focuses on how these multi-dimensional levels act as dynamic areas of interest. Traders can use the indicator to identify potential trend reversals or breakout points based on the confluence of different pivot types.
- Support and Resistance: The tool plots R1/R2 and S1/S2 levels derived from Fibonacci ratios (0.38 and 0.78) to indicate likely exhaustion points.
- Camarilla Levels: CR3/CR4 and CS3/CS4 levels are included for mean reversion and breakout strategies, focusing on the relationship between the current price and the previous day's range.
- Previous Period High/Low: The Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) are automatically plotted, serving as critical structural markers for many intraday strategies.
- Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Users can change the "Timeframe" setting to view weekly or monthly pivots on lower-interval charts.
Details
The script executes calculations based on user-defined timeframes, typically defaulting to Daily ('D'). The pivot point (P) serves as the central anchor.
- Standard Pivot: Calculated as (High + Low + Close) / 3 from the previous period.
- Woodie Pivot: If enabled, the central pivot uses the current period's opening price: (High + Low + 2 * Open) / 4.
- Range-Based Levels: Support and resistance levels use the previous period's range (High - Low) multiplied by specific constants or Fibonacci ratios to determine the distance from the central pivot.
Settings
- Timeframe: Sets the anchor timeframe for pivot calculations (e.g., Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
- Show S/R for Day only?: When enabled, restricts the drawing of support and resistance lines to the most recent period to reduce chart clutter.
- Show Lines?: Toggles the visibility of the extended horizontal lines for pivot levels.
- Use Woodie central PP calc?: Switches the central Pivot Point formula from the standard version to the Woodie version.
- Show Regular Pivot point: Toggles the visibility of the primary central pivot line.
FAQ
How do I use these levels for entries?
Levels like CR3 and CS3 are often used for mean-reversion entries, while CR4 and CS4 are used as breakout triggers. Confluence between standard pivot levels and PDH/PDL often indicates stronger support or resistance.
Can I change the timeframe of the pivots?
Yes, you can adjust the "Timeframe" input in the settings menu to view Daily, Weekly, or Monthly pivots regardless of your current chart interval.
