Classes

class DemarkPivotPoint

Defines a level of significance by taking into account the average of price bar components of the past period of a larger timeframe. For example when operating with days, the values are taking from the already "past" month fixed prices.

Example of using this indicator:

data = btfeeds.ADataFeed(dataname=x, timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Days) cerebro.adddata(data) cerebro.resampledata(data, timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Months)

In the __init__ method of the strategy:

pivotindicator = btind.DemarkPivotPoiont(self.data1) # the resampled data

The indicator will try to automatically plo to the non-resampled data. To disable this behavior use the following during construction:

• _autoplot=False

Note

The example shows days and months, but any combination of timeframes can be used. See the literature for recommended combinations

Formula

• if close < open x = high + (2 x low) + close

• if close > open x = (2 x high) + low + close

• if Close == open x = high + low + (2 x close)

• p = x / 4

• support1 = x / 2 - high

• resistance1 = x / 2 - low

class FibonacciPivotPoint

Defines a level of significance by taking into account the average of price bar components of the past period of a larger timeframe. For example when operating with days, the values are taking from the already "past" month fixed prices.

Fibonacci levels (configurable) are used to define the support/resistance levels

Example of using this indicator:

data = btfeeds.ADataFeed(dataname=x, timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Days) cerebro.adddata(data) cerebro.resampledata(data, timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Months)

In the __init__ method of the strategy:

pivotindicator = btind.FibonacciPivotPoiont(self.data1) # the resampled data

The indicator will try to automatically plo to the non-resampled data. To disable this behavior use the following during construction:

• _autoplot=False

Note

The example shows days and months, but any combination of timeframes can be used. See the literature for recommended combinations

Formula

• pivot = (h + l + c) / 3 # variants duplicate close or add open
• support1 = p - level1 * (high - low) # level1 0.382
• support2 = p - level2 * (high - low) # level2 0.618
• support3 = p - level3 * (high - low) # level3 1.000
• resistance1 = p + level1 * (high - low) # level1 0.382
• resistance2 = p + level2 * (high - low) # level2 0.618
• resistance3 = p + level3 * (high - low) # level3 1.000
