Introduction to the Pivot Points MTF Indicator

Pivot Point levels are one of the few levels that seasoned traders take note of. This is because these levels are points of interest where price action may reverse from or break out of.

The Pivot Points MTF Indicator is a versatile variation of the Pivot Points Indicator which has more capabilities compared to other versions.

What is the Pivot Points MTF Indicator?

The Pivot Points MTF Indicator is a modified version of a Pivot Point Indicator. The acronym “MTF” on the Pivot Points MTF Indicator stands for “Multi Time Frame”. As the name suggests, the Pivot Points MTF Indicator is a variation of the Pivot Points indicator which has the capability to plot Pivot Points based on various timeframes instead of the usual daily, weekly, and monthly Pivot Points. Aside from the timeframes, this indicator also has various options which modifies the type of Pivot Points used.

This version of the Pivot Points plots up to nine Pivot Point levels – the main Pivot Point (PP), four Resistance lines above the main Pivot Point (R1, R2, R3, and R4), and four Support lines below the main Pivot Point (S1, S2, S3, and S4).

How the Pivot Points MTF Indicator Works

The Pivot Points MTF Indicator has several calculations within its algorithm because it allows traders to use different types of Pivot Point calculation methods within its settings. However, the classic Pivot Points calculation is as follows:

PP = (High + Low + Close) / 3

R1 = (PP x 2) – Low

R2 = PP + (High – Low)

S1 = (PP x 2) – High

S2 = PP – (High – Low)

It uses its calculations depending on the Pivot Point method used on the timeframe chosen. For example, a Daily Pivot Point would use the high, low, and close price of the previous day’s price candle.
