BEHIND THE NUMBERS
How this calculation works
Range = high − low. R1/R2/R3/R4 = close + 1.1 × range divided by 12/6/4/2 respectively. S1/S2/S3/S4 subtract those same offsets from close. The separately labelled central pivot is (high + low + close) / 3. R5 = high / low × close; S5 = 2 × close − R5.
Worked example
The range is 10. The central pivot is 95; R3/S3 are 95 ± 2.75, giving 97.75 and 92.25. R4/S4 are 100.5 and 89.5.
Example result: 95
The close anchors the Camarilla levels
Each offset is added to or subtracted from the close. The central pivot uses an average of high, low and close, so it is a separate reference rather than the centre of every Camarilla pair.
Session choices change the answer
An exchange’s official session and a broker’s daily candle can have different highs, lows and closes. Match the source and session when comparing levels with another chart.
Assumptions and rounding
- All three values describe the same completed session and use the same price units.
- Unrounded arithmetic with up to six displayed decimal places in the level table.
Questions about this calculator
Can high equal low?
Yes, if the close is the same price. With a zero range all eight levels and the central pivot coincide.
Why is there no open-price field?
The Camarilla formulas implemented here use only the previous session’s high, low and close.
