This script is designed to automatically plot key price levels ? known as Pivot Points, Support, and Resistance levels ? on a price chart within the MetaTrader platform. These levels are often used by traders to identify potential areas where the price might change direction.
Here's how it works:
-
Data Input: The script gathers historical price data (High, Low, and Close) for the previous day, week, and month.
-
Pivot Point Calculation: Using these historical prices, the script calculates a "Pivot Point" for each of these periods (daily, weekly, and monthly). The Pivot Point is essentially the average of the High, Low, and Close prices for the previous period.
-
Support and Resistance Calculation: From the Pivot Point, the script then calculates Support and Resistance levels. Support levels are price levels where the price is likely to "bounce" upwards, while Resistance levels are where the price is likely to "bounce" downwards. The script calculates three Support levels (S1, S2, S3) and three Resistance levels (R1, R2, R3) for each of the daily, weekly and monthly pivots. These levels are derived using a mathematical formula based on the previous period's High, Low, and Close prices, as well as the calculated Pivot Point.
-
Visual Display: Finally, the script plots these calculated Pivot Points, Support levels, and Resistance levels as horizontal lines directly onto the price chart. It also adds text labels next to the lines to clearly identify what each line represents (e.g., "Daily Pivot," "Weekly R1"). These lines act as visual aids, helping traders quickly see potential areas of interest on the chart.
-
Customization: The user can choose to display daily, weekly, and monthly pivot points and support/resistance levels or not, as well as whether to include Sunday's price data in the calculation of the daily pivot points.
