Pivot Points - [RealFact]

Description:

The Pivot Points indicator is a powerful tool for identifying potential support and resistance levels based on previous price action. It calculates key pivot levels (P), along with support (S1, S2) and resistance (R1, R2) levels, which are used to forecast potential turning points in the market.

Key Features:

Pivot Calculation: Based on the previous period's high, low, and close prices.
Support and Resistance Levels: Three support (S1, S2) and three resistance (R1, R2) levels.
Customizable Timeframes: Applicable to various timeframes including daily, weekly, and monthly charts.
Visual Representation: Levels are clearly plotted on the chart, making it easy to identify key areas.
Trading Strategies: Useful for breakout, reversal, and trend-following strategies.

How to Use:

Identify Key Levels: Use the pivot point (P) to determine the general market trend.
Support and Resistance: Look for price reactions at S1, S2, R1 and R2 to find potential entry and exit points.
Combine with Other Indicators: Enhance analysis by combining with other technical indicators such as Moving Averages, RSI, or MACD.

Formula:

Pivot Point (P) = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Support 1 (S1) = 2P - High
Resistance 1 (R1) = 2P - Low
Support 2 (S2) = P - (High - Low)
Resistance 2 (R2) = P + (High - Low)

Best Practices:

Confirm with Volume: Look for volume confirmation when price approaches pivot levels.
Avoid False Breakouts: Be cautious of false breakouts and use other indicators to confirm price moves.
