Support and Resistance

This section shows a snapshot view of the Trader's Cheat Sheet with the Last Price, and four separate pivot points (2 Support Levels, and 2 Resistance Points). The Last Price shown is the last trade price at the time the quote page was displayed, and will not update every 10 seconds (as the Last Price at the top of the Quote page does). The Last Price will update only when the page is refreshed.
Pivot points are used to identify intraday support, resistance and target levels. The pivot point and its support and resistance pairs are defined as follows, where H, L, C are the current day's high, low and close, respectively. Support and Resistance points are based on end-of-day prices and are intended for the current trading session if the market is open, or the next trading session if the market is closed.

• Pivot Point: (P) = (H + L + C) / 3
• First Resistance Level: (R1) = (2 * P) - L
• First Support Level: (S1) = (2 * P) - H
• Second Resistance Level: (R2) = P + (R1 - S1)
• Second Support Level: (S2) = P - (R1 - S1)
