Woodie Pivot Points on the Charts
According to investopedia: pivot indicators are used to determine the overall trend of the market over different time frames. The pivot point itself is simply the average of the intraday high and low, and the closing price from the previous trading day. On the subsequent day, trading above the pivot point is thought to indicate ongoing bullish sentiment, while trading below the pivot point indicates bearish sentiment.
For the Woodie Pivots, more weight is given to the recent price action when compared to the standard pivot. The support (S) and resistance (R) levels are calculated as follows:
  • S1: 2 * Pivot - High
  • S2: Pivot - (High + Low )
  • R1: 2 * Pivot - Low
  • R2: Pivot + (High - Low)
While the indicator defaults to an open time of Midnight at UTC+0, the timezone offset, and opening hour and minute can be adjusted to suit your preferred market's daily open time by locating and opening the Javascript Code under Data Building Procedure -> Procedure Loop under ’Pivot Points Fib’ Procedure Loop.
