Cprweekly — Indicators and Strategies

Tomorrow Floor Pivots with CPR By Nifty Z The colors for resistance and support levels have been updated to gradient reds and greens for clearer distinction. The CPR band uses light blue and purple to stand out more effectively. Here's a detailed explanation of the user inputs and the typical use of **Floor Pivots for Tomorrow’s Market Range** in a trading context, focusing on support, resistance, and breakout scenarios: The script allows traders to customize key parameters for their analysis: 1. Pivot Timeframe: - Users can select different timeframes for calculating floor pivots, such as 1 hour, 4 hours, daily, weekly, monthly, etc. - This is crucial because the timeframe selection influences the granularity of the support and resistance levels for the next trading day. - For instance, selecting a **Daily** timeframe will calculate floor pivots for the next trading day, while selecting **Weekly** will give levels for the upcoming week. 2. Show Floor Pivots: - Users can toggle the visibility of the calculated **Floor Pivots**, which include resistance levels (R1, R2, R3, R4) and support levels (S1, S2, S3, S4). 3. Show CPR (Central Pivot Range): - CPR (Central Pivot Range) is a key area where the price tends to consolidate. - The script allows users to enable or disable the visibility of CPR, which consists of the BC (Bottom Central Pivot) and TC (Top Central Pivot). 4. Show Labels: - Users can choose whether or not to display labels indicating the **Pivot**, **Support**, and Resistance levels on the chart. This can be helpful for visual analysis when day trading. Understanding Floor Pivots The Floor Pivots (Pivot, Resistance, and Support levels) for tomorrow's market range are calculated based on today’s high, low, and close. These levels help traders anticipate how the market may behave in the upcoming session. 1. Pivot: - The Pivot Point is a central level, calculated as the average of the high, low, and close. It’s considered a reference point that determines the market’s overall bias. - If the price is trading **above the pivot**, it generally suggests a **bullish** sentiment for the day. - If the price is trading **below the pivot**, it suggests a **bearish** sentiment. 2. Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3, R4): - R1 is often the first area where price may stall in an uptrend. It represents the first major resistance level. - **R2**, **R3**, and **R4** mark additional levels of resistance, progressively further away from the current price. These are used to project potential upward targets. - These resistance levels are areas where the price might encounter selling pressure, especially during day trading. 3. **Support Levels (S1, S2, S3, S4):** - Similarly, **S1** is the first area where the price might find support in a downtrend. - **S2**, **S3**, and **S4** provide deeper support levels where the price may bounce from. - These support zones are used by day traders to anticipate where the price might reverse upward. ### **Role of Resistance and Support in Day Trading** - **Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3, R4)** indicate potential areas where price could **stall** during an uptrend. These levels are useful for **short-term traders** looking to set exit points or identify reversal zones. - **Support Levels (S1, S2, S3, S4)** highlight areas where the price could **find support** and potentially **bounce** higher. These levels are particularly helpful for identifying buy zones in a downtrend. - If a price **breaks out** above the resistance levels or **breaks down** below the support levels, it often signals a strong trend continuation. ### **Understanding the Central Pivot Range (CPR)** The **CPR** is formed by two key levels: - **BC (Bottom Central Pivot):** The midpoint of the day’s high and low. - **TC (Top Central Pivot):** The difference between the pivot and BC. The CPR acts as a region of **consolidation** or **indecision** where the market is likely to stay within a narrow range. The width of the CPR gives traders a sense of volatility: - A **narrow CPR** often signals that a **breakout** is imminent. - A **wider CPR** suggests that the market could remain range-bound. ### **Market Sentiment Based on Floor Pivots** The relationship between **today’s** and **tomorrow’s pivots** is crucial in determining the market sentiment for the next day. 1. **Bullish Case (Higher Highs):** - If **tomorrow's pivot** is higher than **today's pivot**, it indicates a **bullish sentiment**. This suggests that the market is likely to trend upward in the next session. - In a **bullish overlapping pivot range**, if **Day 1 (today)** is higher than **Day 2 (tomorrow)**, traders expect continued upward momentum. 2. **Bearish Case (Lower Lows):** - Conversely, if **tomorrow's pivot** is lower than **today's pivot**, it suggests a **bearish sentiment** and that the market could trend downward in the next session. - In a **bearish overlapping pivot range**, if **Day 1 (today)** is lower than **Day 2 (tomorrow)**, traders expect continued downward pressure. ### **Breakout Scenarios** A breakout occurs when the price **violates either the support or resistance levels** significantly, indicating that the price is moving in the direction of the breakout. 1. **Bullish Breakout:** - If the price consistently stays **above the CPR** and **resistance levels (R1, R2)**, it indicates a strong **bullish breakout**. - This is especially true when the **CPR is narrow** for both days, signaling a buildup in price action and a potential breakout to the upside. 2. **Bearish Breakout:** - If the price breaks **below the CPR** and **support levels (S1, S2)**, it indicates a **bearish breakout**. - A narrow CPR on **both days** suggests that a breakout to the downside could be imminent. 3. **Neutral or Ranging Days:** - Sometimes, the CPR stays **unchanged** for 4-5 days, indicating a period of **consolidation** where the price is moving within a tight range. This often leads to a significant breakout once the consolidation ends. Strategic Application of Floor Pivots for Tomorrow Traders use floor pivots to plan their next-day trades by: - **Aligning with Market Sentiment:** Based on whether tomorrow’s pivot is higher or lower than today’s, traders can align their trades in the direction of the market’s overall bias. - **Identifying Entry and Exit Points:** Resistance and support levels provide well-defined areas to enter or exit trades, making pivots essential for day trading strategies. - **Anticipating Breakouts:** Monitoring the width of the CPR and the relation between pivots helps traders anticipate potential breakouts, allowing them to react quickly to sudden price movements. By effectively using these pivots and understanding their significance, traders can improve their decision-making for short-term trades in the stock or futures markets.

Future Pivots CPR - All Timeframes Simple idea that allows you to display tomorrow CPR/ Standard Floor Trader Pivots based on the high, low and close of today session. Likewise, it works for higher timeframes taking into account the high, low, close of the period (e.g. weekly, monthly, year). Just be aware that -regardless of the timeframe- if the period is still in development, the indicator will constantly/ live update the values until the period is closed!! This indicator is meant to be used when preparing for the next trading period. If you want to use it live, I'd suggest using the function of this indicator which allows to display only current/closed pivots- Similar to other script I published, this indicator lower timeframes (Daily and Weekly) will work with lower timeframe bars, this is the Minutes and Hour bars. Conversely, higher timeframe CPR/Pivots will work better with timeframes/charts from Daily and above. Available tick/untick functions: - Select timeframe - Show current CPR & Support/Resistance - Show tomorrow CPR & Support/Resistance - Display historical CPR (CPR only) - Show extended support and resistance lines (S2,S3,R2,R3) for current and future pivots.

Dynamic Pivot Box for Month and Year The basic idea of the ‘Dynamic Pivot Box’ is to show only the Pivots that are closer to the Price. This is, the nearest pivots acting as support and resistance; thus hiding all other pivots which are further away from the price and also hiding the pivots from previous periods… Pivots will be hidden until price breaks out from the current box and moves to the next one. Hopefully, with this change you can focus more on the actual price action/ price patterns on the chart rather than on several/ noisy lines on the screen. **Please note that the recommended use for this indicator is on the daily or higher timeframes if you want to see Year pivots... Monthly pivots can be still seen on the hourly chart, but I am afraid that lower timeframes will not plot the indicator properly.** The Pivots are taken from Frank Ochoa’s book ‘Secrets of a Pivot Boss’, so if you are not familiar with them, I would recommend you to first take a look at the theory behind them. The Pivots in this indicator are divided in two groups: ‘Standard pivot’ and ‘Camarilla’ pivots.; and then this latter is group is divided in two also: the ‘Main Camarilla’ and ‘Regular Camarilla pivot’. You can select which groups of pivots are taken into account for the ‘Dynamic Pivot Box’. If you decide to select all Three Groups: ‘Standard Pivot’, ‘Main Camarilla’ and ‘Regular Camarilla pivot’ you will see ALWAYS 4 pivots surrounding the price. My recommendation is to select only ‘Standard Pivot’ and ‘Main Camarilla’ so that you see only between 2-3 pivots on the screen. This recommended view is actually the default settings. In addition, if you want to further reduce noise from the chart, you can unselect the ‘Lines’ option within the SETTINGS/ STYLE menu. What you see on the chart/sample is actually this indicator plotted twice: 1. Year Pivots which have the default settings and are shown as white ines 2. Month Pivots have also the default settings BUT I also selected the option ‘Previous Pivots’ to show the pivots from previous period , and also I unselected the ‘Lines’ options as mentioned above to reduce noise. You are more than welcome to enhance the current version, my only ask is to please share the enhanced version back with the community. I wish I could make amends or modify the current version myself but I actually just came up with the idea and I paid a coder in Fiverr to develop it.
