Computing Pivot Points to 5 pm EST

[cantillo1963]

How do you compute Pivot Points on eSignal charts to 5 pm EST instead of the default midnight computation???? I need assistance.

Thanks so much.

The pivots plotted on an intraday chart are calculated using the values of the daily bar which is based on the trading hours of that specific symbol.
You may want to provide further details (including symbol, time template used, etc) as to what you mean with "midnight computation".

Is this what you are looking for?

Open the efs in the editor window and change the offset time to get the desired offset from midnight. Currently set at 17.

If not, then explain to Alex as he has requested.

Thank you Kobus,

I changed setting to 22 and the pivots look very accurate. The midpoints were an added bonus which I didn't have. A big help. How do you remove the blue bar shading the current period candle??

Open the efs in the Editors Window and commute the code from line 260 to 275 by adding // infront of the code like so:

drawLineRelative( 0, vProjHigh, 0, vProjLow, PS_SOLID, 3, Color.blue, 1);

to

//drawLineRelative( 0, vProjHigh, 0, vProjLow, PS_SOLID, 3, Color.blue, 1);

etc.

Then save your efs under a different name and reopen.

Hello Kobus,

Can you explain how to write the code for London Levels S3, R3 and appropriate midpoints??? Thank you.

Look at the logic in the efs and then add lines where needed.

Formula's used by Chris Kryza for S3 and R3 in one of his posts are:

R3 = (P + R2) - S1;
S3 = (P - R2) + S1;

and midpoints:
S2S3 = (S2+S3)/2;
R2R3 = (R2+R3)/2;

I do not know if there are variations on this for the requested pivots. You can search the forum and Knowledge Base for more pivot efs's.

I know that Chris, a brilliant programmer from Divergence Software, got a few pivot efs's posted.

Kobus
