Comparing Pivot Point Methods Across Timeframes

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document describes a chart indicator that plots several established pivot point methods: Classic, Camarilla, Woodie, Floor, Fibonacci, and Fibonacci retracement. These levels are commonly derived from prior price data and used as potential support or resistance references. The indicator lets a trader choose the timeframe used for each calculation and customize line width, color, and style.

It also supports displaying pivots from multiple timeframes on one chart, allowing traders to compare levels derived from different horizons. The document explains the available display options but gives no calculation formulas, trading rules, performance evidence, or guidance for interpreting conflicting levels. Pivot points should therefore be treated here as charting references; the text does not establish that price will react to them or that any particular method is superior.

Key ideas

  • The indicator plots Classic, Camarilla, Woodie, Floor, Fibonacci, and Fibonacci retracement pivot levels.
  • The calculation timeframe can be selected independently of the chart display settings.
  • Multiple pivot sets from different timeframes can appear on one chart.
  • Line width, color, and style are customizable.
  • The document provides no evidence that the plotted levels predict price movement.
