The Dynamic Price Pivots indicator has been designed and developed to help you take advantage of leading price action in several different ways. We call it dynamic because that’s what it is, dynamically signalling changes in sentiment at the live edge of the market using a three candle pattern. If the centre candle has lower highs and lower lows than the candles on either side, then a pivot low is triggered, and conversely, if the centre candle has higher highs and higher lows, the a pivot high is formed. The indicator is triggered on the close of the candle.
The Dynamic Price Pivots indicator, can be used in several different ways, which is why we refer to it as the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of trading indicators – a simple yet powerful indicator.
First, the indicator can be used to identify changes in market sentiment, as the market ebbs and flows from bullish to bearish and back again. Second, the indicator can be used to identify support and resistance regions as they build in realtime. The pivot highs and the pivot lows define the floor and ceiling of support and resistance dynamically. Finally, the pivots can also be used to define the upper and lower regions of trends, again, as they build dynamically.
The Dynamic Price Pivots indicator is not an entry or exit signal indicator, but one that is used with a variety of others, including volume, to help define the market state in realtime. Are you in a congestion phase which is building, or a trend which is developing. The Dynamic Price Pivots indicator will help to tell frame the market conditions, which you can then confirm with all your other trading indicators.
