Here’s a Free Forex Pivot Point Calculator you can use directly. Pivot points are used by traders to determine potential support and resistance levels based on the previous day’s high, low, and close prices.
Forex Pivot Point Calculator
Example
🧮 Pivot Point Calculator (Classic Formula)
You’ll need:
- Previous Day High (
H) - Previous Day Low (
L) - Previous Day Close (
C)
Formulas:
- Pivot Point (PP) = (H + L + C) / 3
- Resistance 1 (R1) = (2 × PP) − L
- Support 1 (S1) = (2 × PP) − H
- Resistance 2 (R2) = PP + (R1 − S1)
- Support 2 (S2) = PP − (R1 − S1)
- Resistance 3 (R3) = H + 2 × (PP − L)
- Support 3 (S3) = L − 2 × (H − PP)
✅ Example Calculation
Let’s say:
- High = 1.1200
- Low = 1.1150
- Close = 1.1180
Then:
- PP = (1.1200 + 1.1150 + 1.1180) / 3 = 1.1177
- R1 = (2 × 1.1177) − 1.1150 = 1.1204
- S1 = (2 × 1.1177) − 1.1200 = 1.1154
- R2 = 1.1177 + (1.1204 − 1.1154) = 1.1227
- S2 = 1.1177 − (1.1204 − 1.1154) = 1.1127
- R3 = 1.1200 + 2 × (1.1177 − 1.1150) = 1.1254
- S3 = 1.1150 − 2 × (1.1200 − 1.1177) = 1.1104
