Pivot Points Calculator

Pivot points help you identify where price might reverse or break through. This calculator computes Classical, Camarilla, and Woodie levels from yesterday's high, low, and close — no account needed, all math runs in your browser.

Pivot points are floor-trader math applied to forex. The core idea: yesterday's price action defines today's potential support and resistance zones. Three popular methods exist — Classical (most common), Camarilla (tighter levels), and Woodie (weighted toward close). All start from the same three inputs: previous day's high (H), low (L), and close (C).

Formula block:

Classical PP = (H + L + C) / 3
R1 = 2 × PP - L
S1 = 2 × PP - H
R2 = PP + (H - L)
S2 = PP - (H - L)
R3 = H + 2 × (PP - L)
S3 = L - 2 × (H - PP)

The math is exact — no rounding or broker markup. For AUD-denominated accounts, pip values are already in your base currency. For JPY pairs, note that 0.01 pip-steps apply instead of 0.0001. All calculations are pip-decimal neutral; the tool outputs the same precision your broker displays.

Example: AUD/USD

• Previous high: 0.6620
• Previous low: 0.6555
• Previous close: 0.6580

We sum H, L, C (0.6620 + 0.6555 + 0.6580 = 1.9755) and divide by 3 to get the pivot point. Resistance and support levels expand outward symmetrically.

Result: PP = 0.6585; R1 = 0.6615; S1 = 0.6550 per pip

The spread between S1 and R1 is 65 pips — your round-trip cost (spread + commission) should be less than 5% of that range for intraday setups to be viable.

• JPY pairs (USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, etc.) — pip step is 0.01, not 0.0001. The calculator handles this automatically, but verify your broker's decimal convention.
• Non-AUD accounts — if your account is in USD or EUR, pip value in AUD terms adds FX conversion drag. The calculator shows raw levels; your broker's conversion rate applies at execution.
• Mini/micro lots — levels scale linearly. A 0.01 lot position has the same pivot levels as a standard lot; only pip value changes.
• Gapping markets — if yesterday's range is unusually wide (e.g., after a news event), Camarilla levels may cluster tightly. Consider using Classical instead.

• Fibonacci Calculator — retracement and extension levels from swing highs/lows, often used alongside pivots.
• VWAP Calculator — volume-weighted average price for intraday mean-reversion strategies.
• Position Size Calculator — determine lot size based on account risk and stop distance.

• Support — price level where buying pressure historically overcomes selling pressure.
• Resistance — price level where selling pressure historically overcomes buying pressure.
• Trend — sustained directional movement; pivots help identify trend reversals vs. continuations.
