CPR by SubashCPR — Central Pivot Range with Multi-Timeframe Pivots
This indicator plots the Central Pivot Range (CPR) along with standard floor-trader pivot levels across four timeframes — daily, weekly, monthly and yearly — on a single chart. It also plots the previous period's high and low for each timeframe, and can optionally project the next period's CPR forward.
**What the Central Pivot Range is**
The CPR is a three-line zone derived from the previous period's high, low and close:
- Pivot (PP) = (High + Low + Close) / 3
- Bottom Central (BC) = (High + Low) / 2
- Top Central (TC) = Pivot − BC + Pivot
The width of the band between TC and BC reflects how balanced the previous period was. A narrow CPR indicates the prior period closed near the middle of a tight range; a wide CPR indicates a broader distribution. Traders commonly use the relationship between successive CPR bands, and price's position relative to them, as context for the session.
**Support and resistance levels**
Standard pivot-derived levels R1–R4 and S1–S4 are calculated for each timeframe using the conventional floor-trader formulas. These are geometric projections from the previous period's range, not predictions.
**Timeframe visibility**
Each set of levels only renders on chart timeframes below its own period, so the chart does not fill with irrelevant lines:
- Daily levels — intraday charts only
- Weekly levels — intraday and daily
- Monthly levels — intraday, daily and weekly
- Yearly levels — intraday through monthly
**Settings**
Every timeframe group has independent toggles for its pivot, its support/resistance set, its CPR band, and its previous-period high and low. Daily, weekly and monthly pivots plus support/resistance are enabled by default; yearly levels and all CPR bands beyond the daily one are off by default to keep the initial chart readable. A single line-width input controls all plots.
**Next CPR projection (off by default)**
The "Show Next CPR" option projects the upcoming period's CPR and pivot levels forward on the chart by a configurable bar offset. Choose the projection period — daily, weekly, monthly or yearly — with the resolution input.
**Important — this section repaints by design.** It reads the current, still-incomplete period's high, low and close in order to compute where the next period's levels would fall. Those values change as the current period develops, so the projected lines move until the period closes. This is inherent to what a forward projection is; it is not a bug, but it does mean these particular lines must not be used for signal generation, backtesting, or alerts. All other levels in the script are calculated from completed prior periods and do not repaint.
**Notes on use**
These are reference levels, not entry signals. The script produces no buy or sell markers and makes no directional claims. How useful any given level is depends entirely on the instrument, the timeframe, and the volatility regime — verify the behaviour on your own instrument before relying on it.

Pivot Matrix + Zones [AFD]Overview
Pivot Matrix + Zones brings up to three independently configured pivot systems into one coordinated overlay. It combines exact pivot ladders, standard Central Pivot Range (CPR), ATR- or tick-scaled reaction zones, formula-aware cross-pack confluence, retained untested levels, a compact context dashboard, and seven bar-close alert conditions.
Each pack can use a different formula and anchor, allowing combinations such as Daily Traditional, Daily Camarilla, and Weekly Fibonacci to be compared without merging their identities.
The script is designed for descriptive market context. It does not produce trade recommendations, forecasts, performance statistics, or automated orders.
What makes it different
The script's original contribution is its identity-aware coordination of the three packs rather than a simple stack of pivot lines. Each pack has its own formula, anchor, tier ceiling, formula-pivot and CPR visibility, labels, R/S color, and line style. One shared lifecycle model freezes reaction width at origin, carries formula and anchor provenance into retained levels and alerts, and keeps dashboard and drawing state aligned.
Confluence requires overlapping reaction zones from at least two distinct enabled packs. Multiple levels or historical origins from only one pack do not create confluence, and duplicate canonical levels do not inflate the displayed pack count. Exact formula-and-anchor duplicates are marked inactive instead of drawing the same configuration twice.
The implementation and lifecycle logic are original. The named pivot methods use standard published calculations identified below; no third-party indicator source code is reused.
Pivot formulas and anchors
The three packs can use Traditional, Floor Pivots, Fibonacci, Woodie, Classic, DM, Camarilla, Frank Dilernia, Shadow Trader, or ACD Method calculations. Traditional, Fibonacci, Woodie, Classic, DM, and Camarilla use the formulas documented for PulseWire Pivot Points Standard. Floor Pivots uses the standard prior-period high, low, and close ladder through R3/S3; those levels match Traditional through the third tier, while Traditional retains its additional R4/R5 extensions.
Available anchors are Auto, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly. Auto uses Daily pivots on chart resolutions through 15 minutes, Weekly pivots above 15 minutes and below one day, and Monthly pivots on daily-or-higher charts.
Each formula stops at its documented native tier. The Through Rn/Sn controls do not create unsupported extension levels. Camarilla calculations use the standard R/S equations and display H/L aliases alongside those names.
Data and session handling
Use daily-based values to request anchor data from the selected symbol context. Exchange default, RTH, and ETH choices are available. For futures, ETH uses the exchange-default electronic context, while RTH uses the named subsession entered in the settings. The default futures RTH name is us_regular, but valid names are symbol-specific.
On intraday charts, turning daily-based values off builds anchor values from the chart feed. This may reflect a visible session more closely, but Quarterly or Yearly anchors can have insufficient intraday history. On daily-or-higher charts, the script continues to use daily-based anchor data.
Most formulas use completed prior-anchor values. Woodie also uses the fixed open of the active anchor. The optional developing next CPR uses the active anchor's changing high, low, and close; it is visually separated and never enters confluence, retained history, or alerts.
CPR and reaction zones
CPR always uses the standard floor-pivot calculation from the completed period's high, low, and close. Its chart labels identify the center as PP, the lower Bottom Central boundary as Lower (BC), and the upper Top Central boundary as Upper (TC). This CPR pivot remains separate from a formula pivot when methods such as Woodie or DM produce a different value.
Reaction zones are symmetric bands around exact pivot prices. Their half-width can use confirmed Daily ATR, completed anchor ATR, or a fixed number of minimum ticks. The width is frozen when an anchor's geometry is created, so an existing zone does not drift as ATR changes inside that anchor. The exact pivot remains the center line; the surrounding fill is a configurable context band.
How to read the chart
Exact center lines are the calculated PP, resistance, support, or CPR levels. Soft surrounding fills show the configured interaction distance; they are not additional pivot levels or predictive outputs.
By default, formula PP lines and matching fills are yellow, Pack A R/S lines and fills are blue, and CPR boundaries and the central range are purple. Active labels identify Formula + Level, while CPR labels distinguish PP, Lower (BC), and Upper (TC). Price text is optional and hidden by default.
Confluence and retained levels
When eligible reaction zones from at least two distinct packs overlap, the script merges the overlap transitively into a confluence band. Each label names the unique contributing formulas and then shows the number of distinct packs represented, such as Traditional + Fibonacci x2. Enable confluence is the master control and is on by default. Turning it off removes confluence zones and labels and suppresses Confluence Touch events while the pivot packs, dashboard, retained-level lifecycle, and other alerts continue. When enabled, confluence color, text color, and projection change the display only, not the overlap or alert identity.
At an anchor rollover, eligible pivot zones that were not touched during their active period can be retained as Untested. A later confirmed wick overlap changes the record to TESTED, freezes and fades its drawing for 20 chart bars, and removes it afterward. Retained drawings are off by default, but lifecycle tracking, dashboard counts, confluence eligibility, and fill alerts continue while the drawings are hidden.
Dashboard
The compact dashboard shows only enabled packs with their selected pivot formula and any non-active status. It then classifies the two-period CPR relationship, reports whether the active-anchor open is above, below, or inside CPR, and shows the nearest retained untested level with the live count across all packs. CPR context follows the first enabled pack in A/B/C order.
Display controls
Active geometry can end at a finite current-bar offset, at the anchor end, or extend right. Confluence has its own finite current-bar, finite label-offset, and extend-right choices. Show confluence only hides non-confluence drawings while confluence is enabled; turning the master control off restores the normal layers. Calculations, the dashboard, lifecycle processing, and all enabled alerts continue.
Formula PP, CPR, labels, displayed prices, label size, line width, reaction shading, tier depth, and retained-level styling can be adjusted independently. Formula PP lines and fills default to yellow, Pack A R/S lines and fills default to blue, and CPR boundaries and the central range default to purple. The Inputs tab follows a numbered workflow and dims controls that do not apply without disabling calculations that still use their state. Prices are hidden by default, and chart labels identify formula and level without A/B/C prefixes; dashboard and alert provenance retain pack identity. Duplicate formula-and-anchor pack configurations are rejected rather than drawn twice.
Suggested setup workflow
Configure Pack A as the primary context, then enable Pack B or C when a second formula, anchor, or both are needed for comparison. Choose the highest native R/S tier, session basis, reaction-width method, and projection for the chart being reviewed. Use the dashboard and labels for identity, Show confluence only to isolate cross-pack overlaps, and retained-level drawings when the untested lifecycle should remain visible.
Create alerts only after the symbol, timeframe, sessions, pack settings, and reaction-width inputs are finalized, because those chart settings define the levels and events being monitored.
Alerts
Seven fixed conditions are available: Active Level Touch, Cross Up, Cross Down, CPR Enter, CPR Exit, Untested Level Filled, and Confluence Touch. Events confirm at chart-bar close. Optional dynamic messages aggregate supported events from the same confirmed bar and include available pack, formula, anchor, level, origin, and price context. PulseWire running alerts retain the script inputs saved when they were created, so delete and recreate an alert after changing Enable confluence or another input.
Limitations
Pivot values and rollover timing depend on the selected symbol, data feed, anchor, session context, and available history. Daily and intraday feeds can differ because of extended hours, futures settlements, and feed construction. An invalid futures subsession name can fall back to the exchange default, so confirm the requested name in Inputs and compare the resulting pivots with the intended session.
Reaction zones and confluence visualize proximity; they do not predict a response. Untested means the configured zone was not touched during its tracked active period; it does not imply that price must revisit or react to it.
Use a standard time-based chart when evaluating touches, crosses, and alerts because those events use the chart's OHLC bars. Alerts still depend on PulseWire alert creation, chart settings, feed updates, and bar-close processing.
The script keeps bounded histories of up to 30 live untested levels and 20 fading tested markers, with older retained records removed as those limits are reached. Confluence display is capped at 20 zones.

Options Decision Dashboard CPR, Expected Move & Day TypeOverview
An index option buyer loses to theta unless the day actually moves. So the first question isn't "which way?" — it's "will this session trend at all, and is implied volatility cheap enough to pay for the ride?"
This dashboard answers that in one panel, before the session gets going:
DAY TYPE — from the Central Pivot Range. Narrow CPR historically precedes trending days; wide CPR precedes rangebound ones.
DIRECTION — from where price sits against the CPR, plus the two-day pivot-range relationship.
THE PRICE OF THE BET — from the volatility index: the expected move it's charging you for.
TIME — days to expiry, and the theta context.
It then states a plain-language verdict — BUY CE / BUY PE / SELL PREMIUM / STAY OUT — with the CPR and floor-pivot levels drawn on price, targets and invalidation marked.
What makes it different
Every CPR script asserts that a narrow CPR means a trending day. None of them check.
This one forward-tests its own core claim. Each session's CPR type is logged at the open, and at the close the day is scored as trending or not (by directional efficiency: how much of the day's range price actually closed away from its open). The panel then reports the trend-day hit rate for narrow-CPR sessions against the unconditional base rate, with a Wilson 95% lower bound.
If narrow CPR carries no edge on your instrument, the dashboard says so — and you should discount its day-type logic accordingly. It is built to be able to tell you it doesn't work.
Why the four layers are ONE tool
An option-buying decision needs all four at once:
Day type without volatility pricing tells you to buy an option that may be too expensive.
Volatility pricing without day type tells you it's cheap without telling you whether it will move.
Either without the levels gives you no entry, target or invalidation.
All three without the calibration is just another confident indicator.
Remove one and the decision isn't decidable.
How it works
CPR — Pivot = (H+L+C)/3 · BC = (H+L)/2 · TC = 2·Pivot − BC, from the prior session. Width is normalised as a % of the pivot and rank-scored against its own recent history, so "narrow" means narrow for this instrument — not a hard-coded point value. (10 points is narrow on NIFTY and wide on a mid-cap.)
Two-day relationship — higher / lower / overlapping / inside / outside value: the classic Pivot-Boss classifications, used as the directional prior.
Expected move — EM = Spot × (IV/100) × √t, shown for the day and to expiry, and drawn as a band. If the session stays inside that band, an option buyer typically loses to theta — which is exactly the trap this tool exists to flag.
Verdict — combines day type, direction, IV percentile and days-to-expiry into one call. Expensive IV can veto a buy; expiry-day theta can veto it too.
How to use it
Read it top-down at the open. Day type tells you whether to buy options at all. Direction tells you which side. Expected move tells you whether the premium is worth it. The verdict is the summary; the levels are your entry, target and invalidation.
Then — before you trust any of it — read the calibration row. If narrow CPR has no proven edge on this symbol, the day-type logic isn't carrying its weight here.
This is decision support. It does not place trades and it is not advice.
Data & scope
Built for NSE:NIFTY / BANKNIFTY index futures on intraday timeframes (5m or 15m is the CPR norm). Needs a volatility index for the expected-move layer (NSE:INDIAVIX by default); without one, that layer switches off cleanly and the rest still works.
Strike step, expiry weekday and volatility symbol are all inputs — so it runs on any index-options market. Set the expiry weekday to match your contract: the exchange has changed the index expiry day before, and this script does not assume, it asks.
On a daily+ chart the panel tells you to switch to intraday rather than showing a confident verdict built on a meaningless CPR.
Non-repainting
Prior-session values are requested as on the daily series, so they're settled before the session opens and never move. The calibration harness logs at the session open and resolves at the session close, on confirmed bars only — a session is graded on the first bar of the next session, from completed data. Intraday readings (price vs level, day-so-far range) update as the session forms; that's a live read, not a repaint.
Concept credits
Central Pivot Range and the two-day pivot-range relationships — Frank Ochoa (Secrets of a Pivot Boss). Floor pivots (R1–R3 / S1–S3) — long-standing public trading-floor practice. Expected move from implied volatility — standard option-pricing arithmetic (Black-Scholes-Merton lineage). Wilson score interval — Edwin B. Wilson. ATR — J. Welles Wilder.
The day-type calibration harness, the expected-move comparison and the verdict engine are the author's own. No third-party Pine code is reused.
Honest limits
The CPR day-type claim is folklore until measured — which is exactly why this script measures it. Calibration figures are in-sample, with no costs, and a proven in-sample edge is not a guarantee out-of-sample. The expected move is a one-standard-deviation estimate under a lognormal assumption; real index returns have fat tails and gaps. The verdict describes conditions — it is not a recommendation — and it says nothing about strike selection, position sizing or risk.
Options carry the risk of TOTAL loss of premium. Nothing here predicts price.

CPR Expansion Planner [AGPro Series]CPR Expansion Planner
🧠 Core Idea
Is CPR width and price acceptance setting up a structured expansion day, or is price still inside a weak pivot context?
📌 Overview / What it does
CPR Expansion Planner is a chart-first Central Pivot Range planning tool built to evaluate whether the current session is developing enough structure for an expansion-day read.
The script studies CPR width, the current anchor open, accepted closes beyond CPR, developing range expansion, target room, and the active invalidation shelf. These components are converted into a 0-100 Expansion Score and a clear next-action state.
It produces a CPR band, projected expansion room, target rail, invalidation shelf, state labels, alerts, and a clean AGPro planning panel. It does not predict future price movement, automate trades, or guarantee continuation.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built for traders who already watch CPR but want a more practical planning layer than a static pivot display.
Many CPR tools show the Central Pivot Range and leave the user to decide whether the day is balanced, expanding, failing, or already extended. This script fills that gap by translating CPR context into readiness, room, invalidation, and action language.
The design supports a planning mindset: identify the CPR base, check whether price is accepting beyond it, measure whether expansion has room, and keep the invalidation shelf visible.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most tools focus on plotting CPR lines, daily pivots, or support/resistance reactions.
This script does NOT clone a Pivot Points Reaction Map, does not plot a full pivot ladder, and does not treat every pivot touch as a reaction signal.
Instead, it focuses on one question: is the CPR context preparing an expansion day with enough acceptance, range development, and target room to deserve attention?
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The script builds CPR from the selected anchor and reads whether price is working above, below, or inside the CPR structure.
2. Reference Mapping
It maps the CPR band, accepted expansion side, invalidation shelf, projected target rail, and active expansion room.
3. Reaction Evaluation
The model scores CPR width, open location, accepted closes beyond CPR, current range expansion, and target room.
4. Visual Output
The result is shown through CPR zones, state labels, planner rails, deterministic alerts, and a premium AGPro panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Zones = the CPR band shows the active expansion base. The expansion room box shows the distance between the accepted CPR edge and the target rail.
Labels = READY, WATCH, ROOM, SHIFT, FOLLOW, and INVALID labels describe the current planning state.
Colors = green highlights bullish expansion context, pink highlights bearish expansion context, amber highlights room or follow-through review, indigo highlights watch states, and red highlights invalidation risk.
Panel = the panel summarizes CPR Width, Accepted Side, Expansion Score, Invalidation, and Action.
🚦 Signals & States
• READY → CPR acceptance, score, room, and confirmation are aligned.
• WATCH → price is beyond CPR but still needs cleaner confirmation or score improvement.
• ROOM BLOCKED → CPR acceptance exists, but the target rail is too close or already reached.
• EXTENDED → price has moved beyond the planned target room and late-chase risk is elevated.
• INVALID RISK → price has reached the active invalidation shelf.
• SHIFT → the accepted expansion side changed after a previous READY state.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts trigger when the script detects a READY CPR expansion state, accepted side shift, invalidation risk, major follow-through, or blocked target room.
Alerts are attention markers. They are not trade instructions, automated entries, or exit commands.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The strongest context appears when narrow CPR width, a balanced anchor open, accepted closes beyond CPR, range expansion, and clean target room align.
When only one or two components are present, the script usually stays in WATCH, ROOM BLOCKED, or WAIT rather than forcing a strong state.
📊 When to Use
• Intraday markets where Daily CPR is a visible reference.
• Swing contexts where Weekly CPR is more relevant.
• Potential expansion days after narrow CPR conditions.
• Sessions where price begins accepting clearly beyond the CPR band.
• Traders who want risk and target context around CPR instead of only static lines.
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Very low-liquidity symbols with unreliable volume and wide spreads.
• Extremely noisy sessions where price repeatedly crosses CPR without acceptance.
• News-driven volatility where normal CPR structure can be overwhelmed.
• Markets where the selected CPR anchor is not meaningful for the user's timeframe.
🎛️ Key Inputs
• CPR Anchor → switches between Daily and Weekly CPR.
• Sensitivity → adjusts how quickly the planner recognizes CPR expansion conditions.
• Confirmation Mode → controls whether acceptance requires close confirmation, volume support, or stricter alignment.
• READY Threshold → sets the minimum Expansion Score for READY states.
• Clean Target Room ATR → defines how much space is needed before the target rail is considered clean.
• Event Label Cooldown → controls label density and keeps the chart readable.
• Panel and Label Font Size → controls visual readability.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is chart-first.
The CPR band anchors the setup, the expansion room gives directional context, and the invalidation shelf keeps risk visible. The panel is intentionally compact, with one merged blue AGPro title row and five decision rows.
The goal is a premium PulseWire visual: informative enough to avoid an empty chart, but restrained enough to stay clean.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel and check the Expansion Score.
2. Identify whether price is accepting above or below CPR.
3. Review the expansion room and target rail.
4. Check the invalidation shelf.
5. Interpret READY, WATCH, ROOM, FOLLOW, or INVALID as planning context.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
Think in terms of structure, not prediction.
A narrow CPR can create expansion potential, but it still needs acceptance. Acceptance can be useful only if there is enough target room. A strong score with limited room may be less attractive than a moderate score with cleaner structure.
The script helps organize the CPR read; it does not replace broader market context.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
• Not a prediction engine.
• Not financial advice.
• Not an auto trading system.
• Not a guaranteed signal generator.
• Not a full pivot ladder or generic support/resistance reaction map.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
• CPR behavior can vary across assets and sessions.
• Timeframe selection changes how the CPR anchor should be interpreted.
• High-impact news can distort normal expansion behavior.
• Thin liquidity can create false acceptance beyond CPR.
• The score is rule-based and should be interpreted within broader market context.
🧠 Market Context Notes
CPR can help frame session balance and directional acceptance. A narrow CPR often attracts expansion-day attention, but the useful question is not only whether CPR is narrow. The useful question is whether price accepts away from it with room, structure, and a clear invalidation reference.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price opens near CPR, accepts above the top of the range, and develops range expansion with clean target room, the script may shift toward READY.
When price moves beyond CPR but immediately reaches the target rail, the script can mark ROOM BLOCKED or EXTENDED.
When price fails back through the opposite CPR edge, the planner can show INVALID RISK.
🧱 System Philosophy
AGPro Series tools are designed to turn visible market structure into practical decision context.
This script follows that philosophy by converting CPR from a passive reference into a structured expansion planner with score, state, risk, and target logic.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No guarantees.
No certainty.
No script can remove market risk or replace user responsibility.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Users are responsible for their own decisions, risk management, and interpretation of market conditions.
This script is for educational and analytical purposes only and does not provide financial advice.
📚 Educational Note
Use the script to study how CPR width, acceptance, range expansion, and target room interact over time. The best value comes from reviewing repeated examples across different symbols, sessions, and timeframes.

## 📚 Understanding the Components
### CPR (Central Pivot Range)
Traditional floor trader pivot levels calculated from previous day's High, Low, Close:
- **Pivot (PP)** = (High + Low + Close) / 3
- **Top CPR (TC)** = (PP - BC) + PP
- **Bottom CPR (BC)** = (High + Low) / 2
### VIX (Volatility Index)
- **< 15**: Complacency, potential for sudden moves
- **15-20**: Normal conditions
- **20-30**: Elevated uncertainty
- **> 30**: High fear, potential bottoming process
### Put/Call Ratio
- **< 0.7**: Excessive optimism (contrarian bearish)
- **0.7-1.0**: Balanced sentiment
- **> 1.0**: Defensive positioning (contrarian bullish potential)
### USI:ADD (NYSE Advance/Decline)
- **> 0**: More stocks advancing than declining (bullish breadth)
- **< 0**: More stocks declining than advancing (bearish breadth)
- **Extreme readings** (±2000+): Potential exhaustion
---
## ⚙️ Customization Options
### Input Parameters

## 💡 Pro Tips
1. **Wait for Confluence**: Don't trade on a single indicator - wait for 3+ signals to align
2. **Use CPR as Dynamic S/R**: Price tends to react at TC and BC levels
3. **Watch the Crossovers**: Put/Call crossovers often precede significant moves
4. **Monitor Divergences**: Yellow candles at key levels are high-value signals
5. **Combine with Price Action**: This tool confirms direction - you still need entry triggers
---
## ⚠️ Limitations & Disclaimers

Simple CPR for intraday index tradingSimple CPR is an indicator that displays the Central Pivot Range (CPR) and Support-Resistance pivots. It offers granular customization across CPR, Floor pivots, Developing CPR, and Session High/Low levels.
Original concept from Larry Williams, Mark Fisher & Frank Ochoa
Modified from " CPR (Central Pivot Range)" script by ajithcpas
What is CPR (Central Pivot Range)?
The Central Pivot Range (CPR) is calculated from the previous period’s High (H), Low (L), and Close (C). It forms three levels:
• Pivot (P) = (H + L + C) / 3
• Top Central (TC) = ( P - BC) + P
• Bottom Central (BC) = ( H + L)/2
Together, these levels form a central zone representing the market’s “value area.” Price trading above the CPR typically indicates bullish sentiment, while trading below the CPR reflects bearish bias. A narrow CPR often precedes strong trending moves, whereas a wider CPR signals potential consolidation.
How Pivot Levels are Calculated
Beyond CPR, the indicator supports multiple pivot calculation models, including Traditional, Classic, Fibonacci, and Camarilla
For example, in the traditional model:
• R1 = ( 2 × P ) − L
• S1 = ( 2 × P ) − H
• Higher levels (R2, R3…) scale proportionally by the prior range (H-L).
These levels serve as dynamic intraday support-resistance zones and breakout targets.
Key Features
⦿ Multi-Formula CPR : Select Traditional, Classic, Fibonacci, or Camarilla pivots.
⦿ Multi-Timeframe Control : Auto-detect or manually set CPR timeframe (Daily → Yearly).
⦿ Complete Pivot Suite : Extending to five resistance and five support levels (R1–R5, S1–S5) with optional midpoints (R0.5, R1.5, R2.5, R3.5, R4.5, S0.5, S1.5, S2.5, S3.5, S4.5).All levels can be individually toggled on or off, giving traders complete control over the level of chart detail they prefer.
⦿ Full Customization : Independently toggle lines, fills, price labels, and level names.
⦿ Developing CPR & S/R : Real-time projection of next-session CPR, R1, and S1 with separate visibility controls.
⦿ Session High/Low Tracking : Plot Previous-Session High (PH) & Low (PL) with optional labels and prices.
⦿ Look-Back Flexibility : Display any number of historical CPR/pivot periods.
⦿ Styling Precision : Choose line width, style (solid, dashed, dotted), and individual colors.
⦿ Optional Fills : Visualize the CPR zone or CPR–R1/S1 bands with semi-transparent shading.
⦿ Optimized Performance : Efficient array-based drawing for smooth chart performance even with a long history.
Use Case
CPR analysis helps identify trend bias, volatility contraction/expansion, and key support-resistance zones. This indicator is ideal for intraday indices traders who need a structured yet customizable price-action framework.

CPR by NKDCentral Pivot Range (CPR) Trading Strategy:
The Central Pivot Range (CPR) is a widely-used tool in technical analysis, helping traders pinpoint potential support and resistance levels in the market. By using the CPR effectively, traders can better gauge market trends and determine favorable entry and exit points. This guide explores how the CPR works, outlines its calculation, and describes how traders can enhance their strategies using an extended 10-line version of CPR.
What Really Central Pivot Range (CPR) is?
At its core, the CPR consists of three key lines:
Pivot Point (PP) – The central line, calculated as the average of the previous day’s high, low, and closing prices.
Upper Range (R1) – Positioned above the Pivot Point, acting as a potential ceiling where price may face resistance.
Lower Range (S1) – Found below the Pivot Point, serving as a potential floor where price might find support.
Advanced traders often expand on the traditional three-line CPR by adding extra levels above and below the pivot, creating up to a 10-line system. This extended CPR allows for a more nuanced understanding of the market and helps identify more detailed trading opportunities.
Applying CPR for Trading Success
1. How CPR is Calculation
The CPR relies on the previous day's high (H), low (L), and close (C) prices to create its structure:
Pivot Point (PP) = (H + L + C) / 3
First Resistance (R1) = (2 * PP) - L
First Support (S1) = (2 * PP) - H
Additional resistance levels (R2, R3) and support levels (S2, S3) are calculated by adding or subtracting multiples of the previous day’s price range (H - L) from the Pivot Point.
2. Recognizing the Market Trend
To effectively trade using CPR, it’s essential to first determine whether the market is trending up (bullish) or down (bearish). In an upward-trending market, traders focus on buying at support levels, while in a downward market, they look to sell near resistance.
3. Finding Ideal Entry Points
Traders often look to enter trades when price approaches key levels within the CPR range. Support levels (S1, S2) offer buying opportunities, while resistance levels (R1, R2) provide selling opportunities. These points are considered potential reversal zones, where price may bounce or reverse direction.
4. Managing Risk with Stop-Loss Orders
Proper risk management is crucial in any trading strategy. A stop-loss should be set slightly beyond the support level for buy positions and above the resistance level for sell positions, ensuring that losses are contained if the market moves against the trader’s position.
5. Determining Profit Targets
Profit targets are typically set based on the distance between entry points and the next support or resistance level. Many traders apply a risk-reward ratio, aiming for larger potential profits compared to the potential losses. However, if the next resistance and support level is far then middle levels are used for targets (i.e. 50% of R1 and R2)
6. Confirmation Through Other Indicators
While CPR provides strong support and resistance levels, traders often use additional indicators to confirm potential trade setups. Indicators such as moving averages can
help validate the signals provided by the CPR.
7. Monitoring Price Action At CPR Levels
Constantly monitoring price movement near CPR levels is essential. If the price fails to break through a resistance level (R1) or holds firm at support (S1), it can offer cues on when to exit or adjust a trade. However, a strong price break past these levels often signals a continued trend.
8. Trading Breakouts with CPR
When the price breaks above resistance or below support with strong momentum, it may signal a potential breakout. Traders can capitalize on these movements by entering positions in the direction of the breakout, ideally confirmed by volume or other technical indicators.
9. Adapting to Changing Market Conditions
CPR should be used in the context of broader market influences, such as economic reports, news events, or geopolitical shifts. These factors can dramatically affect market direction and how price reacts to CPR levels, making it important to stay informed about external market conditions.
10. Practice and Backtesting for Improvements
Like any trading tool, the CPR requires practice. Traders are encouraged to backtest their strategies on historical price data to get a better sense of how CPR works in different market environments. Continuous analysis and practice help improve decision-making and strategy refinement.
The Advantages of Using a 10-Line CPR System
An extended 10-line CPR system—comprising up to five resistance and five support levels—provides more granular control and insight into market movements. This expanded view helps traders better gauge trends and identify more opportunities for entry and exit. Key benefits include:
R2, S2 Levels: These act as secondary resistance or support zones, giving traders additional opportunities to refine their trade entries and exits.
R3, S3 Levels: Provide an even wider range for identifying reversals or trend continuations in more volatile markets.
Flexibility: The broader range of levels allows traders to adapt to changing market conditions and make more precise decisions based on market momentum.
So in Essential:
The Central Pivot Range is a valuable tool for traders looking to identify critical price levels in the market. By providing a clear framework for identifying potential support and resistance zones, it helps traders make informed decisions about entering and exiting trades. However, it’s important to combine CPR with sound risk management and additional confirmation through other technical indicators for the best results.
Although no trading tool guarantees success, the CPR, when used effectively and combined with practice, can significantly enhance a trader’s ability to navigate market fluctuations. Indicator

CPR (Central Pivot Range)Central Pivot Range is a trend and volatility forecasting tool. It is calculated from previous session's (day, week, or month) high, low, close values. It works on the idea that every trading session must be the result of its previous trading session.
Pivot, top pivot and bottom pivot values form the CPR. If the CPR for each trading session is getting higher (and also the price is trading above it) then it denotes bullish bias and vice versa for bearish. And the width of the CPR (i.e., distance between top and bottom pivot) denotes the volatility of the session.
If the CPR width is narrow, we can expect a trending or volatile trading session. If it's wide, then we can expect a range bound or sideways trading session.
Support and Resistance levels can be used as a profit booking zone or to add/reduce position sizing.
In this Indicator you have the following:
1. CPR with traditional support and resistance levels (S1-S5 & R1-R5).
2. Developing CPR for next trading day, week, and month.
3. Customizable lookback period, line width.
4. Option to show/hide labels, prices, SR levels, developing CPR. Indicator

Future Pivots CPR - All Timeframes
Simple idea that allows you to display tomorrow CPR/ Standard Floor Trader Pivots based on the high, low and close of today session. Likewise, it works for higher timeframes taking into account the high, low, close of the period (e.g. weekly, monthly, year).
Just be aware that -regardless of the timeframe- if the period is still in development, the indicator will constantly/ live update the values until the period is closed!! This indicator is meant to be used when preparing for the next trading period. If you want to use it live, I'd suggest using the function of this indicator which allows to display only current/closed pivots-
Similar to other script I published, this indicator lower timeframes (Daily and Weekly) will work with lower timeframe bars, this is the Minutes and Hour bars. Conversely, higher timeframe CPR/Pivots will work better with timeframes/charts from Daily and above.
Available tick/untick functions:
- Select timeframe
- Show current CPR & Support/Resistance
- Show tomorrow CPR & Support/Resistance
- Display historical CPR (CPR only)
- Show extended support and resistance lines (S2,S3,R2,R3) for current and future pivots. Indicator

All-in-one CPR indicator Introduction and Acknowledgement:
The script is basically a mashup script and provides a combined functionality of various indicators. I'll explain the usefulness and the optimal usage of the script after giving the credits where it is due. A CPR indicator for visually identifying the trend along with the strength of the trend is NOT available in the public library of PulseWire. Hence, the need of this indicator.
The credit of creating the original indicators remain unknown to me but I would like to acknowledge the authors whose formulae and codes I have used for creating this mashup indicator.
- Frank Ochoa
- Guruprasad Meduri
- Rafael Zioni
- Stoked Stocks
- Pine team for default indicators
The prime focus of the script is identifying and simplifying the 2 main aspects of a trend:
1. Direction / Underlying trend
2. Strength of the trend
Flaws in traditional CPR:
Some may see this as a flaw, some may not. So take my opinion with a grain of salt. In general, the traditional CPR indicator is used to plot just support and resistance levels, and the trend identification is purely discretionary. In addition to this, there is no way to assess the strength of the move without using a dedicated volumed based indicator. This causes amateur traders to take counter trades to the market direction.
What is the need of this hybrid indicator?
A CPR indicator that also aids in visually identifying the trend and the strength of the trend with respect to the price action in NOT available in the public library of PulseWire. The traditional CPR can be used to assess the rough direction of the market but if it combined with the Hull ribbon, the probability of identifying the trend increases manifold. Hence, I decided to create this mashup indicator.
In addition to the basic CPR pivots, the script provides the functionality of the following indicators:
1. HMA based trend ribbons with auto buy/sell signals
2. Volatility based bands - Bollinger bands, Keltner channel, Donchian channel, envelope.
3. Coloured volume candles to determine the strength of the trend
4. CPR with daily, weekly, and monthly levels
5. Previous day high/low
6. Tomorrow CPR
7. 3 Simple moving averages
8. Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
Correct usage of the indicator:
The optimal usage of the indicators consists of mainly 2 parts:
1. Identification of the trend using the combination of CPR and Hull ribbon
2. Determining the strength of the trend
How to identify the trend?
In general, when the price is above CPR it is considered a bullish trend. Also, when the price is above the Hull ribbon, it is considered bullish. Reverse is true for a bearish trend. Combining the traditional CPR logic with the Hull trend ribbon, we can conclude that:
1. Bullish trend = Price above CPR and above the Hull ribbon
2. Bearish trend = Price below CPR and below the Hull ribbon
If the Hull ribbon is showing a zig-zag move, the trend will be sideways. Also, the time frame of the Hull ribbon can be defined as per the need of the user.
Exhibit: Identification of a bullish trend
Exhibit: Identification of a bullish trend with a contra move (pullback)
Exhibit: Identification of a bearish trend
Exhibit: Identification of a bearish trend with a contra move (pullback)
How to determine the strength of the trend?
1. Strong trend = The dark coloured candles represent volume more than 150% of the look back period. For instance
2. Moderate trend = The bright coloured candles represent volume between 50-150%.
3. Neutral trend = The Grey coloured candles represent a weak trend where the volume is less than 50%.
Exhibit: Identification of a strong bearish trend along with the trend direction
Exhibit: Identification of a strong bullish trend using only coloured candles
All the other indicators including the SMA, VWAP, Bollinger bands, Keltner channels, etc. can be used as per the taste of the trader.
Thanks for reading! I hope you find this indicator useful.
Happy learning. Cheers!
