It’s a pleasure for me to announce the launch of Pivot Points on our trading platform, Fyers Web. I understand that this has been long overdue due to various factors involved in the execution of this feature. However, I hope you will like it and think it’s worth the wait. Based on the popular feedback of our thousands of users, we have worked alongside TradingView by giving them our inputs to able to deliver the best features to our clients. Some of the pivot point features available are unique in India and exclusively available on Fyers Web trading platform. You can view our video tutorials on this topic on our Youtube channel in both, English & Hindi.Â
How are pivot points useful?
For those who are not aware, pivot points are used to determine key price levels which can cause a reaction by buyers and sellers during the trading day. Originally, they were created by the floor traders of the exchanges to quickly identify key levels. These price levels act as support and resistance lines and can also indicate levels where short-term reversals can occur and do often occur on a regular basis. Pivot points are commonly used by all types of traders but particularly those who are more interested in day trading & short-duration swing trading. Pivot points can be used in multiple timeframes and there are no fixed standards with regards to its usage as a technical analysis tool. They are most useful when combined with other technical analysis indicators/tools to identify momentum such as chart patterns, stochastics/RSI/MACD etc. Since they are so widely used by day traders around the world, the price levels can have a self-fulfilling prophecy in the short-term.
Interpreting Pivot Points:
They can be useful in identifying the overall market trend and the predictable range. On days when the market volatility is high, the higher support & resistances should be considered as the potential range and on days when the market volatility is low, the lower support and resistance levels should be considered as the potential range during the day. Pivot point levels are also widely used to enter and exit trades. Usually, if the price breaks out of the uppermost resistance or the lowermost support, there might be a further movement in the same direction. However, if the prices are within their normal range, then these levels can indicate reversals.
List of Pivot Points features on Fyers Web:
In total, we have 6 types of Pivot Points on our trading platform which is the highest on any trading platform in India. While most retail traders use standard pivot points, we have several variants for you. These will help you analyze trading opportunities using different levels as reference points. The different types of pivot points are as follows with the appropriate explanation for each of them:
-
Traditional
 These pivot points are calculated using the previous period’s closing prices and it is a simple average of the low, high and close. The support & resistance lines are derived from the pivot points. For instance, in this case:
– Pivot Point (P) = (Low + High + Close) / 3
– Resistance 1 (R1) = (Pivot * 2) – Low
– Support 1 (S1) = (Pivot * 2) – High
– Resistance 2 (R2) = Pivot + (High – Low)
– Support 2 (S2) = Pivot – (High – Low)
– Resistance 3 (R3) = Pivot * 2 + (High – 2 * Low)
– Support 3 (S3) = Pivot * 2 – (2 * High – Low)
– Resistance 4 (R4) = Pivot * 3 + (High – 3 * Low)
– Support 4 (S4) = Â Pivot * 3 – (3 * High – Low)
– Resistance 5 (R5) = Pivot * 4 + (High – 4 * Low)
– Support 5 (S5) = Â Pivot * 4 – (4 * High – Low)
-
Fibonacci
The starting point of Fibonacci pivot points are the same as standard pivot points. However, they use the Fibonacci series numbers in the calculation of support and resistances unlike standard pivot points. It uses the previous day’s range (High – Low) with its corresponding Fibonacci level. Fibonacci series is used in multiple different indicators to project potential price levels using retracements, extensions, Arcs etc. This is yet another variant of the Fibonacci indicators available. The calculations are as follows:
– Pivot Point (P) = (Low + High + Close) / 3
– Resistance 1 (R1) = Pivot + 0.382 (High – Low)
– Support 1 (S1) = Pivot – 0.382 (High – Low)
– Resistance 2 (R2) = Pivot + 0.618 (High – Low)
– Support 2 (S2) = Pivot – 0.618 (High – Low)
– Resistance 3 (R3) = Pivot + (High – Low)
– Support 3 (S3) = Pivot – (High – Low)
-
Woodie
It gives more weightage to the closing price of the previous period as compared to the standard and Fibonacci pivot points. Hence, the resistance and support levels of the woodie calculations are very different from the rest mentioned above. However, one must take note of the fact that woodie pivot points are not as widely used but it can be useful if you prefer this method of identifying price levels.
– Pivot Point (P) = (Low + High + 2 * Open) / 4
– Resistance 1 (R1) = (Pivot * 2) – Low
– Support 1 (S1) = (Pivot * 2) – High
– Resistance 2 (R2) = Pivot + (High – Low)
– Support 2 (S2) = Pivot – (High – Low)
– Resistance 3 (R3) = High + 2 (Pivot – Low)
– Support 3 (S3) = High – 2 (High – Pivot)
– Resistance 4 (R4) = Pivot R3 + (High – Low)
– Support 4 (S4) = Â Pivot S3 – (High – Low)
-
Classic
 This method gives equal weight to all the prices of the previous period without a bias. The support and resistance levels are then calculated using the standard reference points of the highs and lows of the previous period. The calculation methodology for classic pivot points are as follows:
– Pivot Point (P) = (Low + High + Close) / 3
– Resistance 1 (R1) = (Pivot * 2) – Low
– Support 1 (S1) = (Pivot * 2) – High
– Resistance 2 (R2) = Pivot + (High – Low)
– Support 2 (S2) = Pivot – (High – Low)
– Resistance 3 (R3) = Pivot + 2 (Pivot – Low)
– Support 3 (S3) = Pivot – 2 (High – Low)
– Resistance 4 (R4) = Pivot + 3 (High – Low)
– Support 4 (S4) = Â Pivot – 3 (High – Low)
-
DeMark
This method of calculating pivot points use a different base and a set of formulas to calculate support and resistance levels. Unlike being fixed in other types, the Demark pivot points are conditional based on the open and close of the previous periods. The unique thing about this method is that these pivot points have only 1 resistance and support level unlike other calculation methods.
– If Close < Open, then X = High + (2 * Low) + Close
– If Close > Open, then X = (2 * High) + Low + Close
– If Close = Open, then X = High + Low + (2 * Close)
– Pivot Point (P) = X/4
– Support 1 (S1) = X/2 – High
– Resistance 1 (R1) = X/2 – Low -
Camarilla
The calculation methodology of the pivot point is the same as the classic pivot points However, the resistance and support levels are calculated differently.These pivot points are widely used for intraday trading. It relies on the principles of mean reversion and a bit of trend following too. Camarilla pivot points were discovered by a successful fixed income trader named Nick Scott in 1989. The most important levels in this method are the S3, R3, S4 and R4. In this method, S3 and R3 are considered points of reversal and S4 and R4 levels indicate that a mean reversion has failed and a break beyond those levels indicate breakouts. The calculation is as follows:
– Pivot Point (P) = (Low + High + Close) / 3
– Resistance 1 (R1) = Close + (High – Low) * 1.1 / 12
– Support 1 (S1) = Â Close – (High – Low) * 1.1 / 12
– Resistance 2 (R2) = Close + (High – Low) * 1.1 / 6
– Support 2 (S2) = Close – (High – Low) * 1.1 / 6
– Resistance 3 (R3) = Close + (High – Low) * 1.1 / 4
– Support 3 (S3) = Close – (High – Low) * 1.1 / 4
– Resistance 4 (R4) = Close + (High – Low) * 1.1 / 2
– Support 4 (S4) = Â Close – (High – Low) * 1.1 / 2
I have given you the formulas just so that you can analyze and decide which ones are the most beneficial for your kind of use. You can change the pivot points display from the settings window. Now that pivot points have been finally implemented, we will be introducing more features in the near future. We look forward to your continued patronage. If you like what we have done so far and want to spread the word about us, you can refer your friend to us here. It’ll go a long way in encouraging us to build a more robust trading platform for all traders in India.

Hai Sir, Is there any chance of FYER’S web introducing CPR ie central pivot range, which is a dominating tool in current trending market.
Hi Tejas,
Can you please add indicator ‘PriorDayOHLC’.. it is available in trading view charts, as fyers has the same charts, I think you can provide the same in fyers web also.. Please do the needful
Thanks
Hi Kishore, we have already asked for this feature from TradingView. Currently, they do not provide it to third parties.
Please add Central Pivot range(CPR)
The platform misses Central pivot range. I am putting the formula here below for you to refer and add to the platforms.
Lower Boundry = (High+Low)/2
Upper Boundry = (Pivot Point-LowerBoundry)+ PivotPoint
KINDLY ADD CENTRAL PIVOT RANGE INDICATOR
Is it popular? Do let us know where you have used this.
hi please add cpr its uite valuable. the only reason i have to still keep looking at trading view although i trade on fyers is cpr
Hi Kushal, we have already requested TradingView to provide us with this indicator. Since it depends on them, we cannot provide any timelines on this. Your feedback is noted.
Standard Pivot points are with pivot point, supports and resistances. But with CPR (Central Pivot Range) we have some other additional data as well as below:
1. Previous day high and previous day low
2. Previous week central pivot range (CPR)
3. Weekly supports and resistances
There are so many user written CPR indicators in TradingView platform. I see now a days so many people are using CPR for trading. Even i’m big fan of CPR and i use the same for trading everyday.
From one of my friend I came to know that Fyers doesn’t have CPR and hence i stepped back from opening the account with Fyers.
I have also seen some videos in Youtube where people have sent mail to Fyers asking to include CPR indicator. May be this is the right time to include this into your platform and add more value to your platform.
You can see several videos in youtube on the same. Code is available in TradingView and even I have written my own code CPR to have my desired stuffs. Please include it and make Fyers best platform for trading.
Thanks
Hi, Thank you for sharing it. It is very helpful and i was looking for it.
You’re welcome Rahul.
Sir, can we have at least one indicator on indicator option as in Trading view free platform and 4 vertical charts view
Hi Lakdhbinder Singh, Indicator on Indicator is not available on FYERS Web. Can’t commit on when this will be available either. You can view 4 charts just access the chart layout option on the top right-hand menu of FYERS Web.
Just as 2nd option in 3 chart view can we have the same in 4 chart view.
Hi Lakhbinder, Of course. You can go all the way upto 8 charts. You can also pop-out charts into separate on FYERS Web. Watch this video to learn more about charts – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-QosW6dd9E&list=PLgzB28RH71JsaTct1g2Gdyp3Q47Ua43eg&index=10
Central Pivot Range(CPR, some time referred as TC and BC or upper pivot or lower pivot) is missing in Floor/Standard Pivot indicator. Please correct this indicator.
Also advanced trading view platform is available for individuals on subscription bases. Current version of Fyer web missing few important indicators, features. To list a few,
Price alerts, liver technical screeners(on 5/15/… min time frame), Market Profile, Fundamental screener etc etc.
I was about to subscribe externally to trading view plans but the main issue is I am not able to place my orders on their platform as of now!!!.
As Fyer is the only broker which provides trading view in India. So my suggestion is to upgrade your Fyer web to latest version of trading view as soon as possible, if not for all users at least for those who ready to pay extra for premium features.
Hey Chandu, We are using the latest version of the TradingView API. There are some features which are available on their website which are not available in our platform and some of the stuff on our platform is not available on TradingView (Real-time streaming data for all Indian scrips including derivatives) etc.
However, we will get the mentioned future as soon as possible.
Pivot points and moving averages applied on charts are of same thickness , which creates conflicts. It would be great if we can customize the thickness as in Trading View. Also, is it possible, to add moving average on RSI as in trading View.
Hi Lakhbinder Singh, You can change the thickness of lines. Just click on the indicator settings window or simply double-click on any pivot line and you can adjust the thickness and colors.
Tejas sir am new silent in fyers.plz update black theme.and price aleart
Hi Suman, you mean client? Welcome aboard. We’re working with TradingView to get the night theme updated. But in the meanwhile, you can change the chart background color or even use the dark reader chrome extension – https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-reader/eimadpbcbfnmbkopoojfekhnkhdbieeh?hl=en
Sir, please provide camarilla pivot infyers one charts. Thank you
Facing issue with Pivots. The charts get compressed and loose their readability. Had posted a ticket regarding this. Please check.
Hi Raj, are you using a lot of drawing tools on the chart? Give me the ticket number so we can check it.
Request you to kindly include 75 min time frame in Fyers Web platform. This is very helpful to intra day traders like me.
You can get custom timeframes in Fyers One.
Any possibility that you can bring in Volume Profile in trade fyers? It would be great if you could bring the same
It’s a feature that is not freely available Sathish. We’ll take this up at a future date.
Any update on when we might get it?
There are no timelines on this. Volume profile is a paid indicator on TradingView.
Can you also bring in Volume Profile indicator. It would be useful for intraday traders
Suggestions to implement for Fyers Web.
1. Pine Editor for Scripting our own indicators or strategies just like in trading view
2. Conditional orders for futures and options based on underlying contract, so that i can execute market orders on futures/options when a particular price level is reached on underlying contract.
3. Price Alert: this we help all the traders to do their trade management well
FyersOne:
More charting tools like trend based fib retracements, price range with customizations
Hi Purushotham Gowda,
1. Pine Editor is something that I cannot comment on right now. There are certain fundamental policies surrounding this.
2. Does any broker in India provide such conditional orders? If yes, let me know.
3. This will be a big project as it is not as simple to execute in the back-end. We’ll take it up once we’re done with our existing developments.
i think Interactive Broker provides conditional order facility but i m not sure.
IB is a broker for institutional traders mostly.
SIR is it possible for you to introdue a order type in which after the execution of order we can convert in into bracket order by placing both target and stoploss so the one cancels the other instead of traditional bracket orders where we have to put all three at the same time.
Hi Amit, it is not possible as of now. You need to use our bracket order type to enter the “Target” and the “Stop-Loss” price along with the main price.
Dear sir;
i request you to remove Admin Square-off charges as this don’t effect large traders but can adversely effect small traders.
And even i don’t think that you have to manually close each and every open position ; so why you and others brokers are charging for this.
if you really need times to square off open position then you reduce the square off time to 3.10 or 3.15.
Above statement is just my view on admin square off charges and if there is some technical reason that i m unaware off then kindly forgive me.
Hi Amit, we understand that there are no physical efforts in squaring off the open positions, in fact, it is done by the system automatically. However, such things are subject to technical glitches if in excessive numbers. Therefore levying charges provokes traders to take care of their intraday open positions themselves and eradicates the risk of the technical glitch. Hope this clarifies.
can you please introduce real time price alert on fyers web?
Hi Ashish, presently there is no price alerts functionality on Fyers Web. Going forward, the same shall be integrated before long. As an alternative to that, you can use Fyers One (Desktop platform) to get the price alerts.
one request is to add the option of buying above current price using stop loss limit order in cover orders,as most of the trade i take is above certain level….right now using stop loss limit to buy is not available in cover orders
Will I get these features in fyers android app?
can you please introduce realtime “alert” on fyers web??
Sir,
Which pivot point type among these traditional,classic etc is mostly used by traders??
I can see some difference in values among zerodha kite chart & fyers web pivot point values?
Which one is widely used??
The values are calculated based on the data provided by the exchanges. Please double check if that is correct. Most traders in India use Classic IMO.
sir after applyinng pivots charts gets squeezed and we have to manually adjust it.
Is it possible to solve this issue?
Gets squeezed?
Sir i m not getting any proper word to explain the issue.
Actually after applying pivots candles become smaller looks very different .
Hope you understand the issue
Any plans to launch API trading? Any tentative date?
Hi Vijay, Launching APIs is not our immediate priority although they are ready. We’re working on other things at the moment. So, no tentative dates yet.
Can you integrate these types on the Fyers One as well?
Fyers One already has basic pivot points. I have written a post about this here – https://fyers.in/using-support-and-resistance-levels-to-time-your-trades-fyers-one/.
Thumbs up.. Any update on bracket orders?
Bracket Orders is next in line!
this is a good surprise the way the support team was telling, I thought you will take another 3 months.. good news keep it up.. Pls change backoffice also
Well, we ask the support team not to commit to any deadlines. Glad that you were pleasantly surprised.
Tejas Ji, Aap Fyers mein jo features laa rahe hain, unme aap poput chart bhi add kar dijiye.. day trading ke liye bahut useful rahega, thanks.
Dilip, thanks for your good feedback. The pop-out charts feature has not been given due to concerns over bandwidth consumption. We’ll look into this in the future. However, you can open up to 8 charts on the same screen.
A very good initiative from fyers all different calculations are very useful and increases effectiveness of technical analysis.
Thanks Sooraj. Do spread the word!
Great to see Camarilla pivot points and other so many types on Fyers trading platform.. good work! Waiting badly for Bracket orders to be launched by you.
Fyers platform has almost all the best features like data, best charts and trading too. But pls try to make sure that your platform will be stable even if your client base increases. You must be knowing that Zerodha platform failed a few days ago ad data was not showing.. Please dont repeat mistakes like them u can increase brokerage that’s not a problem but please make sure it is always stable like it is at this stage.
Harsh, we’re taking good measures to ensure that our scale-up is smooth! Our highest investment is on the IT infrastructure. Although in comparison to other brokerages, we spend a lot more on technology, we hope that our clients will appreciate it. Disruptions may happen, but I assure you that we will be proactive. Sometimes, even the exchanges can be down. For example, MCX servers were down 2 times today itself.
I hope Fyers introduced MCX soon because pivot points are most useful in commodities according to me.
Niranjan, we are in the final stages of launching MCX. There’s some starting trouble due to delays from third parties involved. We shall get everything resolved asap. Can’t commit on deadlines, but we are shooting for this month.
This is indeed a very useful update. Thanks team Fyers. Way to go!
Finally! I was on the edge of my seat for this one.
ONE OF THE MAIN ESSENTIAL TOOL WHICH WAS MISSING IN FYERS WEB PLATFORM, AND FINALLY THE WAIT IS OVER. NOW WE CAN TRADE WITH EASE. THANKS, FYERS TEAM .
Thank you for the update, Most waited for an update. It is really amazing worth waiting.
Thanks Rahul..
Well Done… This is the easiest way, one can explain about Pivot points.
Thx, I spent quite a bit of time writing this post.
Finally. Fyers team introduced all types of pivot points in one shot.. Tejas sir. I am happy to be ur client.
Hi Indrajit, thanks for your positive feedback. Feel free to spread the word about us. That’ll help us implement new features at a faster pace.
Good to know that the most awaited update has finally been given. I have been using Fyers web for a long while and this was probably the very needed feature lacking in the platform until now. Waiting for MCX and bracket order now 🙂
Finally. Great to know Fyers team introduced all types of pivot points in one shot.. kudos to ur efforts Tejas sir. I am happy to be ur client.
Pivotal point is good indicator it represents main key level of stock . usually its only available in fibinochhi , and standard calculated points , with
All other brokers trading platform as I seen , compare to that the trading tool which fyers providing will be an added advantage on technical analysis part , and all this different calculations of pivot points will improves the reliability on this indicators . thanks for the most valuable tool bought into the platform. Which is very simple ,logical and understandable even by beginners .
HI Yogesh, yes we took extra time to launch this but I’m glad you like the additional features that we have implemented. Soon, we will be launching MCX. Stay tuned for that.
I don’t use pivot points but I must say this is really well done. Users have so many options to choose from. My favourite setting within this indicator is ‘Pivot time frame’ where I can monitor ‘Daily’ pivot levels on all time frames without having to go to the daily time frame. Good job.
Yep, thanks Deepak! That’s one thing which will help traders keep the chart clutter free. You can also unselect certain resistance and support levels from the settings window if you don’t want them.
