By Bramesh BhandariProfessional traders always are in search of key levels that either repel price or, after trading through it, accelerate price action in a predictable direction. The Camarilla pivot point trading strategy is a technique that has an astounding accuracy in both regards, with particularly reliable performance for day-trading equities. Camarilla pivot points were discovered in 1989 by Nick Scott, a successful bond trader. The basic thesis for this strategy is a common one: That price, as most time series, has a tendency to revert to its mean, right up until the point it doesn’t.As compared to classic pivots where traders look for Resistance 1 and Support 1 levels, the most important levels for the Camarilla pivot point variation are the third and fourth levels. Examples of each level, along with what might be considered an appropriate trade action, are shown here:Camarilla pivot point calculations are rather straightforward. We need to input the previous day’s open, high, low and close.
The formulas for each resistance and support level are:. R4 = Close + (High – Low).
1.1/2. R3 = Close + (High – Low). 1.1/4. R2 = Close + (High – Low).

1.1/6. R1 = Close + (High – Low). 1.1/12. S1 = Close – (High – Low). 1.1/12. S2 = Close – (High – Low). 1.1/6.
May 31, 2016 Camarilla Pivot Points is one of the most popular Intraday Trading techniques used by beginners and professional traders. We have already introduced this method in one of our previous posts with an online calculator. Please find it here. We have also created Camarilla Pivot Points Excel Sheet for all F&O stocks in NSE.

S3 = Close – (High – Low). 1.1/4.
S4 = Close – (High – Low). 1.1/2The calculation for further resistance and support levels varies from this norm. These levels can come into play during strong trend moves, so it’s important to understand how to identify them. For example, R5, R6, S5 and S6 are calculated as follows:. R5 = R4 + 1.168.
(R4 – R3). R6 = (High/Low). Close.
S5 = S4 – 1.168. (S3 – S4). S6 = Close – (R6 – Close)Trading strategiesCamarilla pivot points are interesting in that they offer guidance for both sideways and trending markets.
Depending on the price levels in play, the indicator can suggest a trade that would exploit a reversion to the mean or a breakout to new highs or lows. Let’s walk through various hypothetical trading scenarios to demonstrate the utility of this approach.Scenario 1: Price opens at or between Support 3 and Resistance 3When price opens between S3 and R3, we will use the following rules to guide our trade execution:. Long trades: Let the price move to S3. At S3, go long with a stop loss placed five ticks below S4. Profit targets for this trade are R1, R2 and R3.
Short trades: Let the price move to R3. At R3, go short with a stop loss placed five ticks above R4. Profit targets for this trade are S1, S2 and S3.The Financial Bull 3X Direxion (FAS) exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracks the value of financial sector stocks and provides roughly three times the leverage of cash positions in these stocks.On Aug. 14, FAS had the following: Open, 94.50; high, 95.14; low, 92.55; close, 93.35. Based on these values, our Camarilla pivot point resistance and support levels are:. R1 = 93.59; R2 = 93.82; R3 = 94.06; R4 = 94.77.
S1 = 93.11; S2 = 92.88; S3 = 92.64; S4 = 91.93Thus, the trading strategy for Aug. 15 is:.
Buy at 92.64. Stop loss: 91.88; Profit targets: 93.59, 93.82, 94.06.
Sell at 94.06. Stop loss: 94.82; Profit targets: 93.11, 92.88, 92.64The trade worked out. 15 FAS opened at the lower end of the range and our long trade at S3 (92.64) was triggered immediately. Price quickly reached our price targets, and we scaled out of the trade (see “Hitting our pivots,” below).
Another helpful risk-control guideline is to manage the stop loss actively. In this case, we moved the stop loss to the entry price when the first profit target was hit.Now consider another example of the same technique using the S&P 500. 14, the S&P 500 had the following: Open, 1351.30; high, 1351.30; low, 1340.83; close, 1350.50. Inputting these prices into the formulas, we find that our Camarilla pivot point resistance and support levels are:. R1 = 1351.46; R2 = 1352.42; R3 = 1353.38;. R4 = 1356.26 S1 = 1349.54; S2 = 1348.58; S3 = 1347.62; S4 = 1344.74Thus, the trading strategy for Feb.
15 is:. Buy at 1347.62. Stop loss: 1344.69; Profit targets: 1351.46, 1352.42, 1353.38. Sell at 1353.38. Stop loss: 1356.31; Profit targets: 1349.54, 1348.58, 1347.62On Feb. 15, the S&P 500 opened at 1350.52, which is between S3 and R3. A short trade was triggered, per our plan, at 11:15 a.m.
Subsequently, the S&P 500 made a high of 1355.87, below our stop loss. The market reversed lower and all profit targets were hit by 2 p.m. (see “Perfect timing,” below).

For me, there is only one indicator that counts: Camarilla. I have been a big fan of the Camarilla Pivot Point indicator, for good reasons which we will explain in detail below.
Order BlocksBy definition, the bullish order block is the height of the bearish candle prior to moving up. Conversely, a bearish order block is the low of a bullish candle prior to moving down. I personally extended the definition by classifying order blocks by their bullish or bearish wicks. Order blocks are also a very important part of the confluence. On my charts they are represented by red/blue dots. I mark it manually because not every order block has the same strength.Historical Buyers and SellersHistorical buyers and sellers are always a part of my analysis and template. The biggest advantage of thecompared to other markets is that price repeats itself.
The Historical vs. Now moment perspective is something that many analysts and traders don't know of, but in my analyses it is extremely important. When historical buyers or sellers are aligned with the now moment, it stacks even more odds in our favour and the price is likely to reject from that spot.POC ZonesNow, to sum it all up. All important aspects of price confluence can be found here. The POC zone. POC stands for the Point Of Confluence.
This is the zone where I expect price to react. Simply put, when price enters the zone we pull the trigger.
Going long or short. Simple as that.
So whenever you see the 'POC' on my charts, you will know that it is the zone for placing either a short or long.Source: Nenad Kerkez's Camarilla template - example on EUR/GBP H1 chartSo traders, 2018 should be another great year for ourand.
