time settings

[richbois]

Because I trade Forex How can I change the time setting on the system to reflect the NY closing as the end of day, for example.

In other word the date will change at the end of NY close, without modifying my computer setting

Thank you

Assuming I understood your question correctly you cannot change the date

You understood Thank you

what I am trying to do is in Pivot Point formula, it does calculations based on ,D but that date is based on the time and date on my computer.

if I want to change that to Forex NY close for example or UTC+2 would also work . how do I do that

I tried changing DATE to UTCDate but that didn't work

I am new at this Java scrip stuff.

I have managed to do some mods in there already this is my last hurdle.

Thanks for your help

I am not sure that being able to change the date would provide you with what you want because the formula you mention uses the daily bar to compute the Pivot and that daily bar will include the new session's data until the midnight reset.
What you would need to do is write an efs that will store the highest High and lowest Low that is on the chart starting from the NY open time to the NY close of the next day and then track the last Close of this period. Once you have these three values you can define the Pivots. Note that these may be marginally different from the ones calculated using the Daily bar as the intraday Close may be slightly different.
You can see one way of doing part of this in the hilo_overnight.efs attached to this post. While it may not be a very elegant script I don't know of another one that accomplishes the same (or similar) task. Anyhow you can try to modify it to your requirements.

Thank you for your answers and I have reviewed the tread that you cited.

in the help sections it mentions UTC time fonctions.

is there a way to insert a set time feature in the formula that would state that the calculations are done on the bases of UTC time +2 or what ever time diff I would need

Thanks again

That efs does not use the Date Object for its calculations but only bar times

when I set my computer on UTC +2 the calculations for pivots return what I am looking for

therefore how do i set bartime at UTC +2 and get Highs Lows Closes based on that

thank again

need help with this one

ok now I found some different formulas on the site and put them all together and came up with this new formula.

it does every thing I want except repeat my pivot point calculations to previous days

the part about printing a line at Xtime and start a new day works fine and the HLC prints for the last full day and the pivots print for the coming day. that's all great.

wonder if you looked at this script if you could tell me what am I doing wrong in order to make it do the same on prvious days like the normal pivot formula does

I realy appreciate the help since I am new at this EFS programming but trying hard

Thanks again for all your help

The reason you are getting only the last set of lines drawn is because you are setting a unique tag ID for each drawLineRelative() command. For example

drawLineRelative(1440/vInt, R3, 0, R3, PS_DASH, 2, Color.red, "R3"); 

What you need to do is add a counter to the tag ID so as to allow multiple graphical objects for the same ID to be drawn. Given that you already have a counter running in your efs ie BarCntr then add that to the tag ID parameter as follows

drawLineRelative(1440/vInt, R3, 0, R3, PS_DASH, 2, Color.red, "R3"+BarCntr); 

Repeat with each drawLineRelative() command and you should see that also past lines will be drawn
