Mql5官网 Custom Pivots 外汇EA

Pivots Points are significant levels traders can use to determine directional movement, support and resistance. Pivot Points use the prior period’s high, low and close to formulate future support and resistance. In this regard, Pivot Points are predictive and leading indicators.

Pivot Points were originally used by floor traders to set key levels. Floor traders are the original day traders. They deal in a very fast moving environment with a short-term focus. At the beginning of the trading day, floor traders would look at the previous day’s high, low and close to calculate a Pivot Point for the current trading day. With this Pivot Point as the base, further calculations were used to set support 1, support 2, resistance 1 and resistance 2. These levels would then be used to assist their trading throughout the day.

Pivot Points are one of the simplest and oldest tools for technical analysis. Today traders from all over the world successfully incorporate Pivot Points in their strategies. However, this popular professional tool is not included by default in MetaTrader 4. That’s why I decided to create good and affordable Pivot Points indicator for MetaTrader 4.
