Rolling Pivot Points

14 Jun 2023

Standard Pivot Points are calculated from the previous day’s (week/month/year) close/low/high values. But what is the day close for cryptocurrencies trading 24/7 on exchange? Does it make sense to use a specific time price as a close if it continues trading after that?

So I solved that issue with Rolling Pivot Points, where I calculate pivot points not at the end of the period but for every bar on a rolling basis. Every time I recalculate pivot points, I look at a window of period length in bars and base my calculations on these bars. This way, you get smooth pivot points changing with every bar, and it should better represent support and resistance for the price.

In this indicator, I implement three types of pivot points.

• Camarilla
  
• Fibonacci
  
• Traditional
  

In terms of period, you can select any one you want. If you’ll keep Auto Indicator well, compute period automatically. For two days, for example, use ‘Day’ in Period and 2 in Period Mult parameters.

You can also change the type of MA used to smooth Pivot Points.
