The Pivot Custom Indicator for MT4 automatically calculates and plots pivot levels for multiple timeframes on a single chart. In addition to the central pivot, the indicator plots three resistance levels (R1, R2, R3) above and three support levels (S1, S2, S3) below the pivot. These levels allow forex traders to identify potential buy, sell, and exit points with precision.

Why Use the Pivot Custom Indicator?

The indicator is suitable for both novice and advanced traders and works on all intraday timeframes as well as daily, weekly, and monthly charts. Pivot trading functions similarly to Support And Resistance strategies, enabling traders to anticipate trend reversals or breakouts.

Trading Signals with Pivot Levels

On the GBPUSD H4 chart, the indicator displays:

Mid Pivot Line – Light blue
Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3) – Red
Support Levels (S1, S2, S3) – Blue

Bullish Signals:

When the price is above the mid pivot line, the market shows a potential bullish trend.
Buy near support levels and target profit at higher pivot levels.
Use the pivot level below entry as a stop loss to manage risk.

Bearish Signals:

When the price is below the mid pivot line, the market indicates a bearish trend.
Sell near resistance levels and target support levels for profit.
The pivot above the entry acts as a stop loss to prevent losses.

Trading with R3 and S3 Levels:

R3 indicates potential overbought conditions; traders may enter sell positions at R3.
S3 indicates potential oversold conditions; traders may enter buy positions at S3.
This strategy captures the entire retracement or reversal move, maximizing potential profits.
