Hi All,
Hi Alexis whose work in the forums is very qualitative - thank you,
I would like someone of you to program the following pivot points.
This is similar to the CBOT Floor Trader Pivots Pivots.
What is different ?
The calculations of the different levels are different as we will use TODAY's range and 1/2 range to calculate the levels for TOMORROW's intra-day trading activity and will will use also some Fibonnacci numbers to calulate these zones/bands.
We will use 9 levels in total to calculate :
- the Balance Point (BP)
- 2 support zones/bands for which 4 levels are needed
- 2 resitance zones for which 4 levels are needed too.
If, in addition of the 9 levels, we could get colored support and resistance zones/bands it would be great ! With some EFS color painting functions maybe ?
You will find everything needed to calculate the levels herafter and in the Word format document attached.
Thanks to you all for your help, work and time.

Intra-day Trading ‘Fibonacci’ Zones/Bands
Similar to CBOT Floor Trader Pivot Poins but with different calculations for the levels that consist in :
- a Balance Point (BP) just like the Pivot Point
- 2 support zones/bands for which 4 levels are needed
- 2 resistance zones/bands for which 4 levels are needed too.
Creating the zones through 9 levels
These zones are based on the High + Low + Close of TODAY (after the close) and then projecting the zones/bands for TOMORROW’s day-trading activity.
We need to create 9 levels as follows :
E1
= Resistance Zone/Band 2
E
D1
= Resistance Zone/Band 1
D
C = Balance Point (BP)
B
= Support Zone/Band 1
B1
A
= Support Zone/Band 2
A1
Calculations – Step 1
1. Add today’s (H + L + C) / 3 = Balance Point (BP) = C level.
2. Calculate 50 % of TODAY’s range and ad dit to C level = D level.
3. Calculate 50 % of TODAY’s range and deduct it from C level = B level.
4. Addd the entire TODAY’s range to the BP (C level) = E level.
5. Deduct the entire TODAY’s range to the BP (C level) = A level.
We have created 5 price levels.
Calculations – Step 2
We will use the Fibonacci Ratios of .618 and 1.382 of the TODAY’s range.
6. Support Zone/Band 1
Calculate .618 of TODAY’s range and DEDUCT it from C level (BP) = B1 level.
The LIGHT GREEN colored area between B level and B1 level = Support Zone/Band 1.
7. Support Zone/Band 2
Calculate 1.382 of TODAY’s range and DEDUCT it from C level (BP) = A1 level.
The DARK GREEN colored area between A level and A1 level = Support Zone/Band 2.
8. Resistance Zone/Band 1
Calculate .618 of TODAY’s range and ADD it to C level (BP) = D1 level.
The ORANGE colored area between D level and D1 level = Resistance Zone/Band 1.
9. Resistance Zone/Band 2
Calculate 1.382 of TODAY’s range and ADD it to C level (BP) = E1 level.
The RED colored area between E level and E1 level = Resistance Zone/Band 2.
