Chapter 01

Start with the same inputs

Trader question

What do these pivot families share before they disagree?

The Pivot Calculator families start from completed-session price context before live price is layered on top. The first habit is to confirm the map source, then choose the family that answers today's question.

Desk checklist

  • Confirm the completed-session inputs first.
  • Name the chart question before adding overlays.
  • Turn on one family before stacking overlays.

Interactive proof

Setup controls, mini chart overlays, and family tabs

Use the overlay lab to switch between one family, a useful overlap, and a crowded chart.
