Pivot Point Crossing Alert

[diginet]

Greetings:

I use pivot points in my trading, and have found the efs files for drawing pivot points on the chart (PivotPointAllDaily.efs, etc.) to be most helpful. I am searching for a utility that will go a step further -- to sound an alert or send an email when price crosses a pivot point by a variable value (such as 5%).

Has anyone seen an efs file that will accomplish that?

Thanks,

Mark

If you use the PivotPointAll2.efs (which is the EFS2 equivalent of PivotPointAll) that is available here then you could simply declare the following variable outside of main

var nLastRawTime; 

and add the following lines inside main just before the return statement

if (getValue("rawtime",0) != nLastRawTime) { 
        if(high(-1) <= vPP+(0.05*vPP) && high(0) > vPP+(0.05*vPP)){
            Alert.playSound("ding.wav");
            nLastRawTime = getValue("rawtime",0);
        }
    } 

The above modifications will trigger a sound alert when price moves above the Pivot Point by more than 5%. Using this as an example you can create your own conditions for any of the other Pivot points
