How it is computed
P = (H + L + C) ÷ 3 · R1 = 2P − L · S1 = 2P − H (classic)
Pivot levels come from the high, low and close of the previous session. Each method spreads the supports and resistances differently around the pivot.

Which session should I use?
The previous day for intraday levels, the previous week or month for longer ones.

It weights the open of the current session; without it, the previous close is used.
