Pivot Point Support/Resistance Trading
One number, the average of yesterday's high, low, and close, generates a full ladder of seven levels that today's price is watched to react to.
Play the session, bet each level as it's tested
The seven rungs below are computed directly from a generated prior session's high, low, and close using the standard floor-trader formulas, nothing is picked by hand. Press play and today's tape prints bar by bar. The instant price actually touches a level for the first time this session, the tape pauses and asks you to call bounce or break before continuing. Every call gets tallied into its own level's row below, so the scoreboard is an honest, level-by-level answer built from real outcomes, not a guess.
Press play or step to begin today's session.

How it works
- Pivot is the average of three prior-session numbers. P = (High + Low + Close) / 3, using only yesterday's completed session. Everything else in the ladder is derived from that one number.
- The resistance and support levels expand outward by formula. R1 = 2P − Low, S1 = 2P − High. R2 = P + (High − Low), S2 = P − (High − Low). R3 = High + 2(P − Low), S3 = Low − 2(High − P). Each pair sits progressively further from the pivot.
- A "test" is the first real touch of a level this session. Once a level has been tested, this tool will not prompt you on it again today, even if price comes back a second time, exactly like a level only gets one fresh reaction before the market has already shown its hand there.
- Bounce and break are judged a few bars later, not instantly. The tool waits several bars past the touch and checks whether a close ever pushes clearly through the level on the far side. A wick poke through with no close beyond it still counts as a bounce.
Where this breaks
Pivots hold best in range-bound conditions and fail hardest in trends
The whole ladder is built from yesterday's range, which quietly assumes today behaves something like yesterday. In a genuinely range-bound market that assumption is often close enough, and the inner levels especially P, R1, and S1 tend to see real, tradeable reactions. In a trending session that assumption breaks down fast: a strong trend day can blow through R2 and R3 or S2 and S3 without so much as pausing, because the levels have nothing to do with where new trend participants are actually willing to trade, they are just yesterday's math projected forward. Play this tool across enough rerolls and the per-level scoreboard usually shows exactly that pattern, better hold rates on the levels closer to P, worse the further out the ladder goes, and no level holds anywhere near every time.
