Using Daily Pivot Points to Identify Support and Resistance

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This indicator displays a daily pivot point alongside three resistance levels and corresponding support levels. Traders can choose which chart corner shows the values, and the indicator can draw horizontal level guides on the chart. The levels are presented as reference points for interpreting price location and possible areas of resistance or support.

The described reading is directional: trading above the pivot is treated as a bullish indication, with resistance levels as potential obstacles; trading below it is treated as bearish, with support levels as potential destinations. The description gives no calculation details, market examples, or performance evidence. These levels therefore serve as a charting aid and sentiment heuristic rather than a validated forecast, and the text does not explain how to handle breaks, false signals, or changing market conditions.
