Pivot Oscillator Displays Price Relative to Pivot Levels

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This indicator presents pivot levels in a separate chart window and plots price position relative to those levels. The display is intended to make intraday movement around pivots easier to inspect than pivot lines drawn over the main price chart. It is a visualization of price location; the document does not define entry, exit, or position-sizing rules, nor does it claim that crossing or approaching a pivot predicts future movement.

The default calculation uses daily pivots, but the user can select other MetaTrader 5 timeframes, including automatic timeframe choices offered in the platform’s timeframe menu. The text gives no formula for calculating the pivot levels, no example market or chart, and no testing results. Traders should therefore treat it as a configurable charting aid rather than a validated trading strategy. Its usefulness depends on the chosen pivot timeframe and how the trader interprets the displayed relationship between price and the levels.

Key ideas

  • The indicator plots pivot levels and relative price position in a separate window.
  • Its default setting uses daily pivots.
  • Users can select other timeframes supported by MetaTrader 5.
  • The description provides no trading rules, pivot formula, or performance evidence.
