How to Trade Daily Pivots & Central Pivot Range (CPR)

Pivot points are mathematical price magnets calculated from the previous day's price range. Because institutional algorithms and thousands of intraday market makers monitor these identical levels, price reacts with remarkable precision around them.

CPR Rule 1

Trading a Narrow CPR Day

When the distance between Top Central (TC) and Bottom Central (BC) is narrow (<0.25%), it signifies consolidation. Expect an explosive breakout. Enter in the direction of the first 15-minute candle breakout with targets at R1 or R2.

CPR Rule 2

Trading a Wide CPR Day

A wide CPR occurs after a trending day. Price is likely to trade sideways inside the CPR boundary. Avoid buying breakouts; instead, look for mean-reverting reversal setups when price tests R1 or S1.

Essential Formulas
Central Pivot (P)(High + Low + Close) ÷ 3
Bottom Central (BC)(High + Low) ÷ 2
Top Central (TC)(2 × Pivot) - BC

Frequently Asked Questions

Which timeframe works best for Pivot Point calculations?

For intraday trading (Nifty, Bank Nifty, stocks), calculate pivots using the Daily timeframe (yesterday's 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM OHLC). Apply the resulting levels onto your 5-minute or 15-minute execution chart.

What is the difference between Camarilla H3/L3 and H4/L4?

H3 and L3 are mean-reversion zones where price often rejects and turns back toward the center. H4 and L4 are breakout/breakdown zones: if price strongly crosses H4, enter a long momentum breakout trade.
