📋 Overview

Scalp Pivots are dynamic intraday Fibonacci levels that continuously adapt to recent market structure changes. Unlike traditional daily pivots that reset once per day, Scalp Pivots update based on the most recent swing highs and lows, providing real-time support and resistance levels optimized for scalping and short-term trading.

The system monitors recent market structure to identify the most current swing high and low within a specified range, then generates six Fibonacci levels projected from the base pivot point. This creates a dynamic trading framework perfect for quick scalping entries on M1-M5 timeframes, range trading between levels, and breakout confirmation beyond pivot extremes.

✨ Key Features

đŸŽ¯
Real-time Adaptation

Continuously recalculates based on recent price action within configurable lookback periods

⚡
Micro-Structure Focus

Uses recent swing highs and lows (default 60 bars) for ultra-responsive level detection

🔧
Context-Sensitive Direction

Shows bullish or bearish pivots based on most recent swing to guide bias

📊
Six-Level Fibonacci System

Generates exactly 6 levels: -61.8%, -23.6%, 0.0%, +38.2%, +61.8%, +100%

âš™ī¸ How It Works

đŸ”Ŧ The Technology Behind Road Levels

📊
Range Analysis

Swing high/low detection

  • └ Identifies highest and lowest points within lookback period (default 60 bars)
  • └ Determines if most recent swing high or low occurred later to set context
  • └ Filters minor fluctuations using threshold rules
📏
Fibonacci Calculation

Mathematical level projection

  • └ Projects six Fibonacci levels from base pivot using standard ratios
  • └ For Bullish Pivots: Base = Recent High, Levels project downward
  • └ For Bearish Pivots: Base = Recent Low, Levels project upward
⚡
Real-time Updates

Dynamic recalculation

  • └ Continuously monitors for new extremes and recalculates all levels
  • └ Sets bullish (green) or bearish (magenta) labels based on recent structure
  • └ Updates visual display in real-time

📊 Visual Representation

đŸŸĸ
Bullish Pivots (Green)

When recent high is newer than recent low - levels project downward for support trading

    đŸŸŖ
    Bearish Pivots (Magenta)

    When recent low is newer than recent high - levels project upward for resistance trading
