Results are arithmetic on the numbers you enter, not trading advice. Brokers may use different contract sizes (especially for exotic pairs and CFDs), round lot sizes differently and convert profits at their own rates. Leveraged forex and CFD trading carries a high risk of losing money quickly; most retail CFD accounts lose money. Check your broker's contract specification before you trade.
Pivot point formulas
H, L and C are the previous period's high, low and close. All five methods start from these three numbers; DeMark also uses the open.
| Method | Pivot | Resistance | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic (floor) | P = (H + L + C) ÷ 3 | R1 = 2P − L R2 = P + (H − L) R3 = H + 2(P − L) | S1 = 2P − H S2 = P − (H − L) S3 = L − 2(H − P) |
| Fibonacci | P = (H + L + C) ÷ 3 | R1 = P + 0.382(H − L) R2 = P + 0.618(H − L) R3 = P + (H − L) | S1 = P − 0.382(H − L) S2 = P − 0.618(H − L) S3 = P − (H − L) |
| Camarilla | PP = (H + L + C) ÷ 3 (reference) | R1 = C + 1.1(H − L)/12 R2 = C + 1.1(H − L)/6 R3 = C + 1.1(H − L)/4 R4 = C + 1.1(H − L)/2 | S1 = C − 1.1(H − L)/12 S2 = C − 1.1(H − L)/6 S3 = C − 1.1(H − L)/4 S4 = C − 1.1(H − L)/2 |
| Woodie | P = (H + L + 2C) ÷ 4 | R1 = 2P − L R2 = P + (H − L) | S1 = 2P − H S2 = P − (H − L) |
| DeMark | X = 2H + L + C if C > O; H + 2L + C if C < O; H + L + 2C if C = O. P = X ÷ 4 | R1 = X ÷ 2 − L | S1 = X ÷ 2 − H |
Charting platforms sometimes use slightly different variants (for example other definitions of classic R3/S3 or extra Camarilla R5/S5 levels), so small differences between tools are normal. A step-by-step worked example is in our guide how to calculate pivot points.
Which high, low and close to use
- Daily pivots (the most common, also used on 5- and 15-minute charts): the previous trading day's high, low and close. Forex has no single official close; most platforms use their server's day, often aligned with 5 pm New York time. Different "day" definitions give different pivots.
- Weekly pivots (swing trading on 1-hour to 4-hour charts): last week's high, low and close.
- Monthly pivots (position trading): last month's values.
Pivots are reference levels, not signals
Pivot points are simple arithmetic on yesterday's prices. Many traders watch them, which is why price sometimes reacts near them, but there is no guarantee that a level will hold. In strong trends price often runs through several levels. Use them alongside your own analysis and a defined stop-loss — see support and resistance.
