			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The recent <a href="http://www.traderknowledge.com/trading/pivot-points/">Pivot Points</a> article has generated a bit of interest amongst the visitors here, so today I decided to program an <a href="http://www.traderknowledge.com/free-online-pivot-point-calculator.php"><strong>Online Pivot Point Calculator</strong></a> that is free for everyone to use.</p>
<p>The Pivot Point Calculator is very simple to use.  </p>
<p>To start, you need to retrieve the OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) prices of the financial instruments last day of trading.</p>
<p>Then type these prices into the relevant boxes on the Pivot Point Calculator, and then simply hit the <em>Calculate Pivot Points</em> button. </p>
<p>You will then be given the Pivot Point and support and resistance values.</p>
<p>Click <a href="http://www.traderknowledge.com/free-online-pivot-point-calculator.php"><strong>Online Pivot Point Calculator</strong></a> to start using the calculator now.</p>
<p>Also, remember to take a look at the recent <a href="http://www.traderknowledge.com/trading/pivot-points/">Pivot Points</a> article if you want to refresh your memory.</p>
<p>You can also sign up for our newsletter to be notified of any modifications &#8230; I&#8217;d eventually like the Pivot Point Calculator to automatically retrieve the previous days prices for any stock symbol that you type into a text box.  But that&#8217;s for another day.</p>
<p><strong>Update :</strong> We now also have an <a href="http://www.traderknowledge.com/free-online-compound-interest-calculator.php" target="_blank">Online Compound Interest Calculator</a> that is free to use to. You can check it out <a href="http://www.traderknowledge.com/free-online-compound-interest-calculator.php" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I first heard about <strong>Pivot Points</strong> when I used to <a href="http://www.traderknowledge.com/category/day-trading/">day trade</a> the <a href="http://www.traderknowledge.com/category/forex/">Forex Market</a>.  </p>
<p>In fact, the nature of <em>Pivot Points</em> would probably dictate that they would only be of any real use to the day trader as they are dependant upon the previous days prices and are therefore good for only 1 day of trading.</p>
<p>Pivot Points work by indicating points of support and resistance for the price of a financial instrument that is being traded.  </p>
<p>When the price reaches a pivot point, it will either bounce back from it (indicating support or resistance) or continue beyond it.</p>
<p><span id="more-85"></span>If the price continues beyond the Pivot Point, then the trader can enter the market with the knowledge that the price will statistically continue to rise or fall beyond the price indicated by the Pivot Point.</p>
<p>So how do we work out how to find where the Pivot Points occur?  Well there are several calculations for calculating the price of Pivot Points, one of the most common being:</p>
<p>R2 = P + (H &#8211; L) = P + (R1 &#8211; S1)<br />
R1 = (P x 2) &#8211; L<br />
P = (H + L + C) / 3<br />
S1 = (P x 2) &#8211; H<br />
S2 = P &#8211; (H &#8211; L) = P &#8211; (R1 &#8211; S1)</p>
<p>Where:<br />
P = Pivot Point<br />
R1 = 1st Resistance Level<br />
R2 = 2nd Resistance Level<br />
S1 = 1st Support Level<br />
S2 = 2nd Support Level<br />
H = Previous Days High<br />
L = Previous Days Low<br />
C = Previous Days Close</p>
<p>So the Pivot, Resistance and Support lines can now be plotted onto the day trading chart and acted upon when the price reaches them.</p>
<p>If you are thinking of giving Pivot Points a try, be sure to test and plan how you are going to use them before implementing them into your trading.</p>
