Monthly pivots are calculated from the high, low and close of the previous month’s session. Our Indicator Library also features Hourly Pivot levels, Daily Pivot Levels, Weekly Pivot levels and N-Montly Pivot levels. The Library Pivot versions can be compared to our Premium Pivot package here.
Indicator Description
The information required for calculating the Monthly Pivots (high, low and close of the previous month’s session), is available prior to the start of the current month session and does not change throughout its course.
The use of Monthly Pivots is a well known trading technique. It was originally used by market makers and local pit traders to calculate intraday support and resistance levels. The technique has been around for decades, and because of its simplicity and efficiency, it is still in use today. The Monthly Pivots display GLOBEX (ETH) pivots, calculated from the high, low and close of the past full session. To display Monthly pivots (high, low and close of the past month’s regular session),please refer to the premium Session Pivots package.
One should only use the indicator with trading times that reflect the contractual settings of the instruments. If your data provider supplies a settlement price, you may choose that instead of the regular close.
One may use Monthly Pivots to display the main-, central- and directional pivot, in addition to 4 major support/resistance levels. The indicator also comes with an option to display mid-levels pivots. Furthermore, you may choose between four (4) different formulas, namely Floor Pivots, Wide Pivots, Jackson Zones and Fibonacci Pivots.
