Step 1: Calculating Pivot Points

Pivot Point (P): 𝑃=(𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ+𝐿𝑜𝑤+𝐶𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑒)3

$\textbf{Pivot Point (P) Formula:}$

\[ \displaystyle P = \frac{\text{High} + \text{Low} + \text{Close}}{3} \]

$\textbf{범례:}$

$P$ = Pivot Point

$\text{High}$ = Highest price point in the period

$\text{Low}$ = Lowest price point in the period

$\text{Close}$ = Closing price of the period

Support and Resistance Levels:
- First Level:
  - Resistance 1 (R1):
  - 𝑅1=(2×𝑃)−𝐿𝑜𝑤

$\textbf{Resistance Level 1 (R1) Formula:}$

\[ \displaystyle R1 = (2 \times P) – \text{Low} \]

$\textbf{Legend:}$𝑆1=(2×𝑃)−𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ

Support 1 (S1):
𝑆1=(2×𝑃)−𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ

$\textbf{Support Level 1 (S1) Formula:}$

\[ \displaystyle S1 = (2 \times P) – \text{High} \]

$\textbf{범례:}$

$S1$ = Support Level 1

$P$ = Pivot Point

$\text{High}$ = Highest price point in the period

Second Level:
- Resistance 2 (R2):
- 𝑅2=𝑃+(𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ−𝐿𝑜𝑤)

$\textbf{Resistance Level 2 (R2) Formula:}$

\[ \displaystyle R2 = P + (\text{High} – \text{Low}) \]

$\textbf{범례:}$

$R2$ = Resistance Level 2

$P$ = Pivot Point

$\text{High}$ = Highest price point in the period

$\text{Low}$ = Lowest price point in the period

Support 2 (S2):
𝑆2=𝑃−(𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ−𝐿𝑜𝑤)

$\textbf{Support Level 2 (S2) Formula:}$

\[ \displaystyle S2 = P – (\text{High} – \text{Low}) \]

$\textbf{범례:}$

$S2$ = Support Level 2

$P$ = Pivot Point

$\text{High}$ = Highest price point in the period

$\text{Low}$ = Lowest price point in the period

Example Calculation (Day 5):

Pivot Point (P):

𝑃=(170+160+165)3=4953=165

$\textbf{Pivot Point (P) Calculation:}$

\[ \displaystyle P = \frac{170 + 160 + 165}{3} = \frac{495}{3} = 165 \]

$\textbf{범례:}$

$P$ = Pivot Point

$170$ = High Price

$160$ = Low Price

$165$ = Closing Price

Support and Resistance Levels:

Resistance 1 (R1):

𝑅1=(2×165)−160=330−160=170

$\textbf{Resistance Level 1 (R1) Calculation:}$

\[ \displaystyle R1 = (2 \times 165) – 160 = 330 – 160 = 170 \]

$\textbf{범례:}$

$R1$ = Resistance Level 1

$165$ = Pivot Point (P)

$160$ = Low Price

Support 1 (S1):

𝑆1=(2×165)−170=330−170=160

$\textbf{Support Level 1 (S1) Calculation:}$

\[ \displaystyle S1 = (2 \times 165) – 170 = 330 – 170 = 160 \]

$\textbf{범례:}$

$S1$ = Support Level 1

$165$ = Pivot Point (P)

$170$ = High Price

Resistance 2 (R2):

𝑅2=165+(170−160)=165+10=175

$\textbf{Resistance Level 2 (R2) Calculation:}$

\[ \displaystyle R2 = 165 + (170 – 160) = 165 + 10 = 175 \]

$\textbf{범례:}$

$R2$ = Resistance Level 2

$165$ = Pivot Point (P)

$170$ = High Price

$160$ = Low Price

Support 2 (S2):

𝑆2=165−(170−160)=165−10=155

$\textbf{Support Level 2 (S2) Calculation:}$

\[ \displaystyle S2 = 165 – (170 – 160) = 165 – 10 = 155 \]

$\textbf{범례:}$

$S2$ = Support Level 2

$165$ = Pivot Point (P)

$170$ = High Price

$160$ = Low Price

Step 3: Identifying Key Support and Resistance Levels

Key Resistance Levels: $170 (R1), $175 (R2)
Key Support Levels: $160 (S1), $155 (S2)

Significance:

Resistance Levels: Indicate potential selling points where the price may face upward resistance.
Support Levels: Indicate potential buying points where the price may find downward support.

팁과 모범 사례:

Accuracy: Ensure accurate calculations for reliable support and resistance levels.
Combine Indicators: Use pivot points in conjunction with other technical indicators for better analysis.

Step 1: Trading Strategy Development

Entry Points:
- Buy Position: Enter a buy position when the stock price approaches and bounces off the support level (S1 or S2) with confirmation (e.g., bullish candlestick pattern).
- Sell Position: Enter a sell position when the stock price approaches and reverses at the resistance level (R1 or R2) with confirmation (e.g., bearish candlestick pattern).
Exit Points:
- For Buy Position:
  - Initial Target: Pivot Point (P)
  - Secondary Target: Resistance 1 (R1)
- For Sell Position:
  - Initial Target: Pivot Point (P)
  - Secondary Target: Support 1 (S1)
정지 손실:
- For Buy Position: Set a stop-loss order slightly below the lower support level (S2).
- For Sell Position: Set a stop-loss order slightly above the higher resistance level (R2).

Step 2: Risk and Reward Analysis

Potential Risks:
- False Signals: The price may not always respect pivot levels, leading to false signals.
- Market Volatility: High volatility can cause significant price swings, hitting stop-loss orders.
- Confirmation Required: Always wait for confirmation signals before entering a trade.
Potential Rewards:
- Clear Entry/Exit Points: Pivot points provide clear levels for entering and exiting trades.
- High Reward-to-Risk Ratio: Properly identified pivot points can offer high reward-to-risk trading opportunities.
- Predictable Reversals: Pivot points can help predict potential price reversals, allowing traders to enter and exit at optimal points.

Example Strategy Application:

Buy Position:
- Entry Point: $160 (S1) with bullish candlestick confirmation.
- Exit Points: $165 (initial target, P), $170 (secondary target, R1).
- Stop Loss: $155 (S2).
Sell Position:
- Entry Point: $170 (R1) with bearish candlestick confirmation.
- Exit Points: $165 (initial target, P), $160 (secondary target, S1).
- Stop Loss: $175 (R2).

팁과 모범 사례:

Confirm Entries: Always wait for confirmation signals before entering trades based on pivot points.
Use Stop Losses: Implement stop-loss orders to manage risk and protect against unexpected price movements.
Review Performance: Regularly review the performance of your trading strategy and adjust as necessary.
