Camarilla Pivot Levels for Intraday Long and Short Signals

Article Strategy library · Author: ChaoZhang

Summary

The strategy calculates four Camarilla resistance levels and four support levels from a selected period’s high, low, and close. It then chooses configurable levels for long and short triggers and uses price relative to those levels to maintain a directional position; a reverse-trade option flips the signals. The accompanying explanation presents the levels as intraday support and resistance derived from the prior day’s price range, with H3/L3 associated with countertrend setups and H4/L4 with breakouts.

The document’s overview also mentions Bollinger Bands and stop placement near their bands, but the supplied strategy code does not calculate or use Bollinger Bands or implement those stops. The stated BTC/USDT futures backtest spans only a brief period and includes no performance results. The text flags sensitivity to indicator settings and overnight gaps, so it offers a trading rule description rather than evidence of effectiveness.

Key ideas

  • Camarilla levels are calculated from a selected period’s high, low, and close.
  • The strategy exposes selectable support and resistance trigger levels and can reverse signal direction.
  • The explanatory text discusses Bollinger Bands, but the supplied code does not implement them.
  • The published backtest settings are brief and are not accompanied by performance evidence.
