Pivot Types Guide

Choose the pivot system that fits your trading style. Each method calculates support and resistance from the previous candle's High, Low, and Close using a different mathematical approach.

Classic HLC
The standard method. Balanced for all timeframes and the most widely used by traders worldwide.
Best for: Swing trading, Daily & 4H timeframes
P = (H + L + C) / 3
R1 = 2P − L    R2 = P + Range    R3 = H + 2(P − L)
S1 = 2P − H    S2 = P − Range    S3 = L − 2(H − P)

How to Read Them
Price above P → Bullish bias. Look for longs at S1/S2, targets at R1/R2.
Price below P → Bearish bias. Look for shorts at R1/R2, targets at S1/S2.
Distance < 1% highlighted in red/green — price is very close to a key level, watch for a reaction.
ATR(14) = average candle range. Use for stop-loss: SL = entry ± 1.5 × ATR.
Camarilla only: R3/S3 = reversal zones. R4/S4 = breakout zones.
Which Timeframe?

Calculated from the previous closed candle. Daily pivots are the most widely watched. Weekly works well for swing trades. 4H suits intraday setups.

Limitations

Pivot points are lagging — based on past price action. They work best combined with other confluences: trend direction, volume, or candlestick patterns at the level.
