Pivot Calculator

 

The pivot calculator is defined as a technical indicator that is produced by calculating the numerical average of a particular currency pairs high, low and closing prices.

To calculate pivot points, the pivot point itself will be considered as the primary support/resistance level. Meaning that the largest price movement will occur at this level. The other support ad resistance levels have less important, but still can generate significant price movements.

Pivot points can be used in two ways. The first way is to determine the expected overall market trend. If the pivot point level broke in an upward price movement, then the next large move in the market is expected to be bullish move, and if the pivot point level broke in a downward price movement, then the next large move in the market is expected to be bearish move.

The pivot points are considered as short-term trend indicators, and can be useful for only short term trading “e.g. one day” until its recalculated. The second way is to use pivot price levels to determine when is the best time to enter and exit trades in the market.

Pivot points enable traders to take a look at price levels which are likely to cause an expected price movement. The major success of a pivot points mainly depends on how traders will follow them, and on their ability to use the pivot points together with other means of technical analysis.
