CPR pivot derivation on Kite

Central Pivot Range (CPR) is a popular intraday trading framework using three derived levels from the previous period’s OHLC: the central Pivot, the Bottom Central (BC), and the Top Central (TC). On Zerodha Kite, CPR is one of the available pivot indicators across both engines.

CPR formulas

For each trading session, CPR is computed from the previous session’s OHLC:

Pivot (P) = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Bottom Central (BC) = (High + Low) / 2
Top Central (TC) = (Pivot - BC) + Pivot = 2*Pivot - BC

The three lines are plotted as horizontal levels for the current day’s session.
