Camarilla Pivots with Signal Clean Up Analysis


  • Backtesting feature enables quick short-term evaluation of a strategy within seconds
  • Deep Backtesting feature allows to see if there is a long-term potential in a strategy
  • Full-cycle trading system for different trading styles (intraday, swing, trend) with signal cleanup and analysis
  • Provides TP (Take Profit) and SL (Stop Loss) levels with alerts for every step of the trade
  • Every calculation is done on a confirmed closed candle bar state, so the indicator will never repaint
  • Works with all popular timeframes! Works best with shorter timeframes: 1M, 5M, 15M, 1H.

NOTE: At position open - there will be calculated Take-Profit and Stop-Loss targets, however each target is considered hit, when candle bar closes breaking that target, so Take-Profit and Stop-Loss when hit will slightly differ then levels at position open!
      What sets our product apart from many others is our provision of Backtesting results for every Trading Strategy. These results substantiate the potential of our algorithms.
      Certainly, as with any form of "investment," there is an inherent risk. It's important to note that our approach is inherently riskier than strategies like buy-and-hold or investing in low-risk options such as a fixed 1.5-5% Certificate of Deposit (CD) in a bank. However, our algorithms exhibit significantly more promising potential outcomes. (It's worth noting that while past performance doesn't guarantee future results, our algorithms are based on patterns that tend to repeat themselves!) This potential is particularly evident in FOREX pairs, indexes, stocks, and cryptocurrency coins.

Camarilla Pivots trading indicator - how to use instructions Signal Analysis and Cleanup Settings
  • Select your start and/or end dates (uncheck “End” for indicator to show results up to the very moment and to use for LIVE trading) for Backtesting results, if not using Backtesting – uncheck “Start”/“End” to turn it off.
  • Use TradingView “Strategy Tester” to see Backtesting results
    NOTE: If Strategy Tester does not show any results with Date Ranged fully unchecked, there may be an issue where a script opens a trade, but there is not enough TradingView power to set the Take-Profit and Stop-Loss and somehow an open trade gets stuck and never closes, so there are “no trades present”. In such case - manually check “Start”/“End” dates or use “Depp Backtesting” feature!
  • Trading Schedule: This is where an Intraday Session or any custom session can be scheduled. Turn it ON. Select trading hours. Select EOD (End of Day) setting (NOTE: If it will be OFF, the indicator will assume a position is held open until next day!). Please note the EOD trade closure times with the 2 different Intraday close settings when turned on:
    At Market Close

  • Trading Systems: 1) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL": the signal will only open a trade if no trades are currently open/running, a trade can only be closed by Take Profit, Stop Loss or End of Day close (if turned on) | 2) "Open Until Closed by TP or SL + OCA": Same as 1), but if there is an opposite signal to the trade which is currently open > it will immediately be closed with new trade open or End of Day close (if turned on) | 3) "OCA (no TP or SL)": There are is Take Profit or Stop Loss, only an opposite signal will close current trade and open an opposite one or End of Day close (if turned on).

  • Turn On/Off: Current Position SL + Opposite Position Open Signal on the same closing candle bar (If current trade hits Stop-Loss and at that same closing candle bar there is a signal for an opposite direction trade > indicator will close current position as Stop-Loss and immediately open an opposite position). NOTE: With this option turned on, there will be more trades, but not necessarily better results, since after Stop-Loss is hit, it may make sense to wait a little before opening an opposite trade, even if it matches the condition at the same time when Stop-Loss is hit, but sometimes it shows great results, so this setting/feature is included. NOTE2: This setting only will work/make sense with TP and SL style/behavior both be set to "Fully Closed Candle"!
  • Turn On/Off: Turn On/Off: Current Position REGULAR SL | Only the SL + Opposite Position Open will trigger if turned on, IF NOT - THERE WILL BE NO STOP-LOSS AT ALL!!! NOTE: It is very dangerous to trade without Stop-Loss!
  • Signal Candle Bar consuming Take-Profits - position/trade signal candle bar is so big that it consumes the first TP setting (If signal open candle bar is big enough it cover the first Take-Profit area > the signal can either be skipped, or all Take-Profit areas pushed ahead from signal candle bar close using smart formula)
  • MULTIPROFIT | TP (Take-Profit) System: Once the trade is open, all Take-Profit target(s) are immediately calculated and set for the trade > once the target(s) is hit > trade will be partially closed (if candle bar closes beyond several Take-Profit targets > trade will be reduced accordingly to the amount of how many Take-Profit targets were hit)
  • MULTIPROFIT | SL (Stop-Loss) System: 1) Static – Once the trade is open, Stop-Loss is calculated and set for the remaining of the trade ||| 2) Dynamic – At trade open, Stop-Loss is calculated and set the same way, however once 1st Take-Profit is taken > Stop-Loss is moved to Entry, reducing the risk.
  • # of TPs (number of take profit targets): Just like it is named, this is where the number of Take-Profit targets is selected (NOTE: If "OCA (no TP or SL)" Trading System is selected, this setting won’t do anything, since there are no TP or SLs for that system).
  • TP(s) offset: This is a special feature for all Take-Profit targets, where a customizable offset can be turned on, so that if the price is almost hitting the Take-Profit target, but never actually touches it > it can be captured. This is good to use with HHLL (Highest High Lowest Low), which is pretty much a Support/Resistance as often the price will nearly touch these strong areas and turn around…

"TP PERCENTAGE" - the amount by which the current trade or position should be decreased, partially closed, or sold.

TP System: Dynamic
"TP PERCENTAGE" - will always be the same amount (trade/position size divided by the # of take-profit(TP) targets) and percentage to be decreased, partially closed, or sold will always be of the ORIGINAL trade/position.

TP System: Static
"TP PERCENTAGE" - will always be the same amount IF take-profit(TP) targets are hit 1-by-1 (TP1 > TP2 > TP3 > TP4 > TP5), otherwise it will vary and unless it is a 1st take-profit(TP1), the REMAINING trade/position size will always be smaller than original and therefore the percentage to be decreased, partially closed, or sold will always be of the REMAINING trade/position and NOT the original one!


TP Percentage Cheat Sheet
  • Check your current trade size.
  • Multiply it by the decimal value next to "TP PERCENTAGE" received in the signal/alert.
  • The result represents the quantity of units, stocks, contracts, etc. that should be reduced, partially close, or sell.
TP PERCENTAGE Close/Sell Amount Example (trade size: 50 stocks)
20% trade size * 0.2 50 * 0.2 = 10 stocks
25% trade size * 0.25 50 * 0.25 = 12.5(~13) stocks
34% trade size * 0.34 50 * 0.34 = 17 stocks
40% trade size * 0.4 50 * 0.4 = 20 stocks
50% trade size * 0.5 50 * 0.5 = 25 stocks
60% trade size * 0.6 50 * 0.6 = 30 stocks
66% trade size * 0.66 50 * 0.66 = 33 stocks
75% trade size * 0.75 50 * 0.75 = 37.5(~38) stocks
80% trade size * 0.8 50 * 0.8 = 40 stocks
100% trade size 50 = 50 stocks


In the rare event that a portion of the current or remaining trade closes slightly inaccurately, there's no need for concern. These occurrences are infrequent, and even if there's a minor discrepancy in the partial take profit (TP) closure, it doesn't significantly impact the overall performance of our algorithms.

Camarilla Pivots trading indicator - how to use instructions FAQ
  • How fast will I be granted access to Telegram Channel/Indicator after payment?
    In 24-48 hours (usually much faster)
  • Can I use my phone for telegram signals/indicators/trading?
    Absolutely, our Telegram signals and alerts are designed to be easily viewed and understood on smartphones. Setting up our trading indicators using the TradingView mobile app is possible, but it's recommended to do so on a computer or tablet for greater ease. Regarding actual trading, most regulated brokers offer mobile trading options either through their website or dedicated app, which is the preferred method. This ensures convenient and efficient trading on the go.
  • What if I miss a signal/alert?
    There will always be another signal/alert, it is always best not to force-enter a trade, "A best trade is - no trade". However, even if a signal or alert is missed, there is always an option to create a custom alert at the entry price of the missed signal. This allows to wait for a potential opportunity. Given the typical zig-zag movement of market prices, there's a chance that the price might return to the entry point, enabling entering the trade or position. Even if the price initially moves against the trade, a trade can be entered at a more advantageous point, as long as the trade remains active. This approach capitalizes on the dynamic nature of market trends.
  • Are there days when I shouldn't trade?
    While our algorithms primarily rely on technical analysis and don't factor in fundamentals, it's advisable to consider avoiding trading on days when the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings occur. Market behavior during these periods can become irrational and yield unfavorable outcomes. However, it's important to note that all our backtesting is conducted without excluding FOMC days. Therefore, even if there's a negative impact on a specific day, the overall performance should not be significantly affected over the long term.
  • Can a signal or an alert be skipped due to technical issue? How reliable are our servers?
    The reliability is exceptionally high. TradingView itself is a dependable platform. Our algorithm-processing servers are configured to automatically restart in case of any issues. This ensures an extremely low likelihood, around 0.1%, of missing signals or alerts. However, to be on the safe side and depending on the trading style of the channel or indicator, it's advisable to check in at the end of the day (Intraday), at least once a day (Swing) or once a week (Trend) to stay updated.
  • Is slippage (commission/spread/fees) accounted for in the algorithm Backtesting?
    The level of slippage depends on the specific indicator strategy configuration and the instrument being traded. For instance, our algorithm for the FOREX (EURUSD) pair typically includes a default slippage of 1.5 pips (15 ticks in TradingView indicator Properties). This accounts for the average spread for EURUSD. To illustrate, when going LONG on the EURUSD pair, EURO is bought at a slightly less favorable dollar rate due to the 1.5-pip slippage. Likewise, when closing the position by selling EURO for dollars, the price is slightly less favorable. While these are relatively small amounts - they add up, so it is important to count them in!

    For our QQQ index strategies, there's no slippage considered. As from our observation, slippage works both ways in stocks, occasionally in your favor and sometimes against it. In the case of trading options, where the commission is typically around $0.65 per contract, it's a relatively minor consideration, unless scalping with 30+ trades a day (in such case we will include $0.65 commission for each trade and make sure it is included in the indicator strategy configuration information/explanation/channel.

    With Bitcoin Trend styles strategy, the number of trades is small, so commission's impact is even less significant, but if the strategy will be Intraday - there will definitley need to be some sort of a slippage. Essentially, we incorporate slippage where it's applicable and logical.

    If choosen to acquire our indicators (as in the third section below “TradingView Trading Indicators”), slippage can be adjusted according to broker's fee structure.

History Camarilla Pivots trading indicator - history of Camarilla Pivots

(Click or Tap to expand)

      The concept of Camarilla pivot points was initially introduced in 1989 by Nick Scott, who was a former bond trader and held the position of president at Camarilla Equities Ltd. This system is specifically designed to furnish traders with support and resistance levels, which are derived from the previous day's price movements. The foundational idea behind Camarilla pivots is rooted in the belief that price behavior often follows a pattern, and by pinpointing significant support and resistance levels, traders can enhance their ability to make well-informed decisions about their trading activities.

      Our contribution to the Camarilla Pivots concept includes the integration of a sophisticated signal cleanup and analysis algorithm, working in harmony with the foundational Camarilla Pivot formulas. This innovative augmentation, coupled with several improvements, has significantly magnified the potential for substantial profits across a diverse array of trading instruments. Furthermore, our algorithm ensures alerts are issued at every juncture of a trade, essentially metamorphosing it into a comprehensive full-cycle trading system.
