⚡ Meridian Pivot Points Pro is a premium pivot indicator for cTrader that adapts to sessions and timeframes. It plots professional-grade pivot levels (P, R1–R5, S1–S5) for Standard, Fibonacci, Woodie, Camarilla, and DeMark formulas, adds mid-levels, and highlights zones (green below P, red above P) with adjustable transparency.
The built-in Auto Presets instantly tune settings for popular symbols and timeframes. The HUD shows the nearest level (with distance in pips) and the active preset name when matched. Smart alerts notify on level cross or proximity—with independent sound controls.

Works out-of-the-box for Forex, indices, gold, oil, and crypto across intraday and swing trading.

🆚 What makes it different

  • Session-aware: use daily/weekly/monthly pivots or a Session mode with ready-made presets (Tokyo, London, New York, Overlap, etc.) and UTC/Broker/Custom offset.
  • Auto Presets (new): when enabled, the indicator auto-applies a curated setup for known symbol + timeframe combos and shows the preset name in the HUD.
  • Clarity by design: mid-levels, labels, clean themes, and semi-transparent bands (supports green, resistances red, pivot blue).
  • Actionable alerts: cross on candle close and proximity in pips, each with its own sound toggle.
  • Lightweight & readable: optimized to draw current and (optionally) historical periods with crisp typography.
🎯 Perfect for
  • Intraday traders (FX, indices, gold, oil, crypto): clean, session-aligned zones for entries and exits.
  • Scalpers: nearest levels + mid-levels for quick retests; Proximity alerts for timely execution.
  • Swing traders: weekly/monthly pivots for higher-timeframe context and targets.
  • Strategy planners & prop traders: objective targets, stop logic “beyond the level,” and disciplined position management.
  • Newer traders: Auto Presets and color-coded zones make pivots intuitive from day one.
  • Power users (TV/MT/NT alumni): familiar pivot logic with a refined cTrader implementation and session awareness.

🧠 How the indicator works

Meridian Pivot Points Pro reads the market’s most recent completed window—day/week/month or a chosen trading session—and derives a central reference with a ladder of support/resistance bands around it. You can switch between several professional methodologies (e.g., floor-trader, Fibonacci-style, volatility-aware variants) to match your playbook.

The tool then projects that structure onto the current window, making it session-aware (Tokyo/London/NY/overlap timing, broker/UTC/custom offset). Bands are color-coded for quick bias recognition, optional mid-zones help with pullbacks, and the HUD surfaces the nearest actionable level with distance.

Auto Presets recognize common symbol + timeframe pairs and load tuned visuals/parameters, while alerts react to meaningful interactions with the structure (confirmed breaks and close approaches) without cluttering the chart.

🚀 Presets

Auto Presets trigger automatically (if Preset mode is choisen Auto) when a symbol + timeframe pair is recognized and the preset name is shown in the HUD.

📘 Trading Playbook

🔥 Core framework

Set context: choose Daily / Weekly / Monthly or Session. Intraday → Daily/Session; swing → Weekly/Monthly.
Market axis: P (Pivot) is neutral. 🎚️
Above P → buyer tilt. 🟢
Below P → seller tilt. 🔴
Targets & “stop zones”: R levels = supply/targets; S levels = demand/targets. Bands help plan partials and risk.

🚀 Go-to setups

A. Revert-to-P (mean reversion)
Flat/balanced conditions.
Buy from S1/S-zone → P (or sell from R1/R-zone → P).
Scale at MR1/MS1, main target P.

B. Intraday trend
Directional move from session open.
Above P: buy from S-zones / MS1 / P toward R1 → R2. 🟢
Below P: sell from R-zones / MR1 / P toward S1 → S2. 🔻
Add on mid-level retests; trail behind the opposite band.

C. Break & hold
Close beyond R1/S1 (Cross on Close alert).
Target next step (R2/S2, then R3/S3…).
Avoid entries right around high-impact news; best quality in London and London–NY overlap.

D. Extremes fade
Volatility at R3/R4 or S3/S4.
Small countertrend back to nearest mid/weak zone.
Use smaller size, tight invalidation beyond the level.

⏱️ Session-Aware best practices

Pick a session preset (Tokyo, London, NY, Overlap) and correct TZ (UTC/Broker/Custom).
Trade inside the active window for cleaner touches and follow-through.
Especially effective for FX majors, XAUUSD, and indices.

🔍 Multi-timeframe flow

HTF (H1/H4/D1): use Weekly/Monthly pivots for big “walls” and roadmaps.
LTF (M5–M30): execute on Daily/Session, confirm direction vs. HTF P.

🔔 Alerts workflow

Proximity: early heads-up — prepare, don’t chase.
Cross on Close: confirmation — often the trigger for continuation.
Keep sound only for signals you truly act on.

🛡️ Trade management

Stops: beyond the nearest invalidation level/zone (behind R if short, behind S if long).
Partials: at mid-levels and first targets (R1/S1).
Trail: step behind each passed band/level to lock progress.

🧰 Instrument tips

FX majors: Daily + Session (London/Overlap).
Gold (XAUUSD): Daily/Session; Weekly for swings.
Indices (US100, DAX): matching session + Weekly context.
Oil (USOIL): US/Overlap sessions; mind news windows.
Crypto: Weekly/Monthly (24/7); Session if needed. ₿

⚠️Common pitfalls

Ignoring P: trading against the axis → stick with the side of P.
Chasing: entering right after break without retest/close → wait for confirmation.
News/open traps: violent candles plow levels → use time filters.
Crowded targets: plan stepwise partials across bands.

✅ Pre-trade checklist

Where is price vs P?
Which session is active; how much time remains?
Entry, partials, and stop vs levels/bands/mid-levels?
Any news in ±15 min?
Signal quality: Proximity → reaction? Close break → hold?
Management plan: partials, stop move, final target.

💡 use Meridian as a decision framework—bias from P, execution from zones, confirmation on close, disciplined exits by steps.
