Calculate standard, Fibonacci, Woodie, Camarilla, and DeMark pivot points with support and resistance levels from OHLC data.
A pivot point distills the previous period's high, low, close, and open into a central level, then places support and resistance around it. This calculator runs all five major conventions - standard, Fibonacci, Woodie, Camarilla, and DeMark - from one set of OHLC entries, so you can compare methods side by side instead of juggling five formula sheets. The thing most users get wrong: enter the previous period's data, not the session you are about to trade. Every level it returns applies to the period that follows the one you entered.
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
High 100.00, Low 90.00, Close 95.00, Open 92.00 (previous session)
Expected output
Standard: Pivot 95.00, R1 100.00, R2 105.00, R3 110.00, S1 90.00, S2 85.00, S3 80.00. Woodie: Pivot 95.00 (R1, R2, S1, S2 identical to standard here). Fibonacci: Pivot 95.00, R1 98.82, R2 101.18, R3 105.00, S1 91.18, S2 88.82, S3 85.00. Camarilla: Pivot 95.00, R1 95.92, R2 96.83, R3 97.75, R4 100.50, S1 94.08, S2 93.17, S3 92.25, S4 89.50. DeMark: Pivot 96.25, R1 102.50, S1 92.50.
Four methods land on the same 95.00 pivot because each is a variation on the high-low-close average (standard P = (100 + 90 + 95)/3; Woodie's P = (H + L + 2C)/4 also gives 95.00). DeMark is the only formula that reads the open: close 95 above open 92 triggers X = 2H + L + C = 385, so its pivot sits at 96.25.
All five methods start from the previous period's high, low, and close; DeMark also reads the open. Standard sets P = (H + L + C)/3, with R1 = 2P - L and S1 = 2P - H. Fibonacci offsets the same pivot by 38.2, 61.8, and 100 percent of the range. Woodie weights the close double: P = (H + L + 2C)/4. Camarilla steps outward from the close in fractions from 1.1/12 to 1.1/2. DeMark branches on close versus open, builds X, and takes P = X/4.
The levels apply to the next trading period, not the one you entered. Price above the pivot reads as a bullish bias for that session; R1 and S1 are where traders watch for reversals or breakouts. A wider high-low range pushes resistance and support further from the pivot. Each method row is computed independently, so you can see at a glance where the five agree and where they diverge.
None is more accurate, because all five are conventions, not forecasts. Practitioners choose by market and habit, and many prefer zones where several methods cluster, since more participants watch the same price. To match your charts, compare the calculator's rows against the pivot levels your trading platform already plots.
Not for the usual convention. Standard practice computes today's levels from yesterday's completed session, and that is what the input labels assume. Entering today's live numbers yields levels that shift all day and describe a period that does not exist yet. Use the last completed period's OHLC.
