Pivot Points
Pivot points are more commonly used by short term traders. This is because they help you determine the future support and resistance levels.
They are mainly created by simple mathematical formulas. The formulas consist of high, low, open and close prices that are in a certain time frame. They can also be used as indicators of the trend and their intervention levels.
HOW TO CALCULATE PIVOT POINTS?
Below shows classical steps of pivot calculation:
|
Pivot Point (PP) |
= (high+low+close)/3 |
|
Resistance 1 (R1) |
= (Pivot*2)-low |
|
Resistance 2 (R2) |
= Pivot + (high-low) |
|
Support 1 |
= (S1) : (Pivot*2) – high |
|
Support2 (S2) |
= Pivot – ( High – low) |
How do we use pivot points as trading strategies?
Pivots are mostly used in short-term strategies.
Generally pivots are the central levels that predict that prices will be oscillating around them. If the price is traded above the pivot, an uptrend potential will follow. If the price is below the pivot a downtrend will follow.
If there is no big economic figure in the data flow, the price coverage most commonly will hit support or resistance.
