Pivot Master LITE

PIVOT FORGE LITE – The Strategy Forge Ecosystem

I created my previous indicator (Multi-TF Fibonacci Pivot Points) to save myself time every day having to manually track and add pivots to my setups. I knew they worked from watching price action - but eyeballing something and proving it can be profitable are very different.

Before I waste weeks on a strategy, I want proof it works.

This is a proof-of-concept strategy tester to show that pivot trading strategies can be profitable.

*Optimized for 8H and lower timeframes. Daily pivots need intraday charts to generate enough entry signals. Won't work on Daily/Weekly charts


WHAT IT DOES:

→ Enters when price crosses Daily pivots (S1/R1, S2/R2, etc)
→ TP/SL at % you choose
→ Shows: Win rate, Profit Factor, trades, P&L

Includes all 3 pivot types: Fibonacci, Standard, Camarilla


REAL EXAMPLES (my crypto tests):

## 📊 Example Backtest Results

The following are real results from specific instruments and timeframes. Your results will vary—always conduct your own testing.


**BTC/USD, 2HR Chart** – BloFin Perps (Jan 2023 – Dec 2025)
*Settings: Long Only, Fibonacci Pivots, S2 Entry, 4% TP / 4.5% SL*

| Metric | Value |
|---------------------|------------- |
| Profit Factor | 1.352 |
| Win Rate | 60% |
| Net Profit | +5.72% |
| Total Trades | 90 |
| Max Drawdown | 2.41% |

S2 entry filters noise while 4% targets allow room for normal volatility.



**BTC/USD, 6HR Chart** – BloFin Perps (Jan 2023 – Dec 2025)
*Settings: Long Only, Fibonacci Pivots, S2 Entry, 7.5% TP / 2.5% SL*

| Metric | Value |
|---------------------|------------- |
| Profit Factor | 1.944 |
| Win Rate | 40.32% |
| Net Profit | +8.61% |
| Total Trades | 62 |
| Max Drawdown | 2.18% |

6HR timeframe gives pivots more room to develop.



**ETH/USD, 2HR Chart** – BloFin Perps (Jan 2023 – Dec 2025)
*Settings: Both Directions, Fibonacci Pivots, Long Entry S1, Short Entry R3, 3.5% TP / 2% SL*

| Metric | Value |
|---------------------|------------- |
| Profit Factor | 1.312 |
| Win Rate | 45.96% |
| Net Profit | +8.92% |
| Total Trades | 235 |
| Max Drawdown | 3.32% |

PROFIT FACTOR (Primary Metric):

- Below 1.0 = Losing strategy (avoid)
- 1.0-1.5 = Marginal (break even to slight profit)
- 1.5-2.0 = Viable strategy (worth considering)
- Above 2.0 = Strong (verify it's not overfit)


WIN RATE (Context-dependent):

Win rate alone doesn't mean profitability. It depends on your TP/SL ratio:
- 40% WR with 3:1 R:R = Excellent (PF ~1.8)
- 50% WR with 2:1 R:R = Good (PF ~1.5)
- 60% WR with 1:1 R:R = Marginal (PF ~1.2)
- 70%+ WR = Check for overfitting

Always evaluate Profit Factor first, then assess if win rate makes sense for your risk/reward ratio.
