How it is used in NotifyTrader
NotifyTrader calculates pivot, R1, R2, S1, and S2 from recent candle high, low, and close. These are stored in analysis snapshots and can appear in alert overlays.
What pivot points show
The pivot level is a central reference. R1 and R2 are resistance estimates. S1 and S2 are support estimates.
They are simple levels, so they should be used as context rather than precise predictions.
Why they are useful
Pivot points give the assistant consistent levels to reference even when a chart has many possible swing points.
They can help explain where price is relative to nearby support and resistance.
How NotifyTrader uses pivot points
Alert event enrichment can use pivot levels as breakout lines when swing highs or lows are unavailable.
Assistant answers can use them to explain price location and monitoring areas.

FAQ
Are pivot points predictive?
No. They are reference levels, not forecasts.
Why use both pivots and swing levels?
Pivots are formula-based, while swing levels come from observed price structure.
