Formula

PP=(H+L+C)/3; R1=2·PP−L; S1=2·PP−H; R2=PP+(H−L); S2=PP−(H−L)

How to read

Intraday magnet and S/R. Opens above PP often lean toward R levels; below toward S levels.

Limitations

Daily pivots reset; they are not a trend system. Less useful on strong trend days that ignore levels.

Typical settings

Classic floor-trader (prior day H/L/C)
