Triple Pivot Scalper

How It Works?

Still wondering where you have to put the stop loss and take profit when you open a trade? This EA will do it on your behalf!

According to three different Pivot calculation, the EA will take care of your opened positions by placing stop loss and take profit right onto the pivot lines.

After an order is placed manually or by another EA, it will be modified by adding stop loss and take profit.

How to Use It?

It is very useful during a sideways phase for scalpers or for swing traders. My suggestion is to enable the first level S1/R1 for short-term trades or R3/S3 for medium-term trades. Alternatively, you can look for price bouncing between S1/Pivot or R1/Pivot (especially on overnight session).

Usage of pivot lines is very reliable because represents a point at which a major price movement is expected to occur.

This EA is named "Triple" because there are three different formulas to calculate pivot, support and resistance levels:

• Standard
• Fibonacci
• Camarilla

The EA works even as indicator: the pivot levels on the chart will be refreshed and painted with different colors on a daily basis.

What the EA Will Not Do

• Open orders automatically - there is no internal logic and conditions to open orders. So this EA is intended to work as a semi-automated system.
• Show previous days pivots - the EA will show only the current day Pivot, Support and Resistance based on the day before data.

Input Parameters

• Use Pivot Stops?: enable or disable the function. This function will move stop loss and take profit of any opened trade (with matching Magic Number) onto the pivot lines, including support and resistance. This function will not work if Use Fixed Stops? is already enabled.
• Pivot SL level: from 0 to 4. Zero if you want to place the stop loss right onto the Pivot line (blue) or 1 to 4 if you want to place the stop loss on R1, R2, R3, R4 if short, or S1, S2, S3, S4 if long.
• Pivot TP level: from 0 to 4. Zero if you want to place the take profit right onto the Pivot line (blue) or 1 to 4 if you want to place the take profit on R1, R2, R3, R4 if long, or S1, S2, S3, S4 if short.
• Use Fixed Stops?: enable or disable the function. This function will move the SL and TP of any opened trade (with matching Magic Number) on a fixed pips value. This function will not work if Use Pivot Stops?is already enabled.
• Fixed SL values: pips for stop loss. This value will be used even if Use Fixed Stops? is disabled, as an alternative stop loss in case of a wrong pivot line, i.e. if you have a short deal opened, and the Pivot SL level is below (instead of above) the current price, the stop loss will be set to this value.
• Fixed TP values: pips for take profit. This value will be used even if Use Fixed Stops? is disabled, as an alternative take profit in case of a wrong pivot line, i.e. if you have a short deal opened, and the Pivot TP level is above (instead of below) the current price, the take profit will be set to this value.
• Pivot Formula: 1 for Fibonacci, 2 for Standard and 3 for Camarilla.
• Magic Number: set zero for manual trading or set your EA magic number.

Pivot Formula - How Is It Calculated?

L = yesterday_low;

H = yesterday_high;

C = yesterday_close;

R (Range) = yesterday_high - yesterday_low;

PP (Pivot Point) = (L + H + C)/3;

Standard:

R1_Std = ((2*PP) - L);

R2_Std = (PP + (R));

R3_Std = (R2_Std + (R));

R4_Std = (R3_Std + (R));

S1_Std = ((2*PP) - H);

S2_Std = (PP - (R));

S3_Std = (S2_Std - (R));

S4_Std = (S3_Std - (R)).

Fibonacci:

R4_Fibo = PP + (R * 1.382);

R3_Fibo = PP + (R * 1.000);

R2_Fibo = PP + (R * 0.618);

R1_Fibo = PP + (R * 0.382);

S1_Fibo = PP - (R * 0.382);

S2_Fibo = PP - (R * 0.618);

S3_Fibo = PP - (R * 1.000);

S4_Fibo = PP - (R * 1.382).

Camarilla:

R4_Cama = C + R * 1.1/2;

R3_Cama = C + R * 1.1/4;

R2_Cama = C + R * 1.1/6;

R1_Cama = C + R * 1.1/12;

S1_Cama = C - R * 1.1/12;

S2_Cama = C - R * 1.1/6;

S3_Cama = C - R * 1.1/4;

S4_Cama = C - R * 1.1/2.
