ICT KillZones + Pivot Points [TradingFinder] Support/Resistance

🟣Introduction

Pivot Points are critical levels on a price chart where trading activity is notably high. These points are derived from the prior day's price data and serve as key reference markers for traders' decision-making processes.

Types of Pivot Points:
  • Floor
  • Woodie
  • Camarilla
  • Fibonacci


🔵Floor Pivot Points

Widely utilized in technical analysis, floor pivot points are essential in identifying support and resistance levels. The central pivot point (PP) acts as the primary level, suggesting the trend's likely direction.

The additional resistance levels (R1, R2, R3) and support levels (S1, S2, S3) offer further insight into potential trend reversals or continuations.

🔵Camarilla Pivot Points

Featuring eight distinct levels, Camarilla pivot points closely correspond with support and resistance, making them highly effective for setting stop-loss orders and profit targets.

🔵Woodie Pivot Points

Similar to floor pivot points, Woodie pivot points differ by placing greater emphasis on the closing price, often resulting in different pivot levels compared to the floor method.


快照



🔵Fibonacci Pivot Points

Fibonacci pivot points combine the standard floor pivot points with Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the previous trading period's range. Common retracement levels used are 38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%.

🟣Sessions

Financial markets are divided into specific time segments, known as sessions, each with unique characteristics and activity levels. These sessions are active at different times throughout the day.


The primary sessions in financial markets include:
  • Asian Session
  • European Session
  • New York Session



The timing of these major sessions in UTC is as follows:
  • Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
  • European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
  • New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55



🟣Kill Zones

Kill zones are periods within a session marked by heightened trading activity. During these times, trading volume surges and price movements become more pronounced.

The timing of the major kill zones in UTC is:
  • Asian Kill Zone: 23:00 to 03:55
  • European Kill Zone: 07:00 to 09:55
  • New York Kill Zone: 14:30 to 16:55

🟣How to Use


🔵Two Approaches to Trading Pivot Points

There are two main strategies for trading pivot points: utilizing "pivot point breakouts" and "price reversals."

🔵Pivot Point Breakout

When the price breaks through pivot lines, it signals a shift in market sentiment to the trader. In the case of an upward breakout, where the price crosses these pivot lines, a trader might enter a long position, placing their stop-loss just below the pivot point (P).

Conversely, if the price breaks downward, a short position can be initiated below the pivot point. When using the pivot point breakout strategy, the first and second support levels can serve as profit targets in an upward trend. In a downward trend, these roles are filled by the first and second resistance levels.

🔵Price Reversal

An alternative method involves waiting for the price to reverse at the support and resistance levels. To implement this strategy, traders should take positions opposite to the prevailing trend as the price rebounds from the pivot point.

While this tool is commonly used in higher time frames, it tends to produce better results in shorter time frames, such as 1-hour, 30-minute, and 15-minute intervals.
Three Strategies for Trading the Kill Zone

There are three principal strategies for trading within the kill zone:
  1. Kill Zone Hunt
  2. Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
  3. Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone



🔵Kill Zone Hunt

This strategy involves waiting until the kill zone concludes and its high and low lines are established. If the price reaches one of these lines within the same session and is strongly rejected, a trade can be executed.

🔵Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone

In this approach, once the kill zone ends and its high and low lines stabilize, a trade can be made if the price breaks one of these lines decisively within the same session and then pulls back to that level.

🔵Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone

Kill zones are characterized by high trading volumes and strong trends. Therefore, trades can be placed in the direction of the prevailing trend. For instance, if an upward trend dominates this area, a buy trade can be entered when the price reaches a demand order block.
