Pivot Point

[Angus F]

I wonder if anyone has any advice on how to exclude certain days from this Pivotpoint EFS? I've tried the "getDay()" command but the parameters are confusing. All I'd like to do is exclude Saturday and Sunday prior to the indie start time.
Any advice would be much appreciated,

Angus.

Here's the EFS:

  function preMain() {

    setPriceStudy(true);

    setStudyTitle("HiLo");

    setCursorLabelName("ETH High", 0);

    setCursorLabelName("ETH Low", 1);

    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_FLATLINES,0);

    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_FLATLINES,1);

    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.blue,0);

    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.red,1);

    setStudyTitle("New Trading Day Marker W/HLC and Pivot Points");

    setShowCursorLabel(false);

    

    var fp = new FunctionParameter("nHr", FunctionParameter.STRING);

    fp.setName("Set Hour");    

    fp.setDefault("17");

}



var vHr = null;

var newDay = true;

var dayCntr = 0;

var vClose;

var vHigh;

var vLow;

var BarCntr = 0;

var bartotal = 0;

var PP = null;



function main(nHr) {



    var nState = getBarState();

    var vInt = getInterval();

    if (vInt == "D" || vInt == "W" || vInt == "M" || vInt == "1") return;

    

    if (nState == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {

        if (newDay == false && getDay() != getDay(-1) && getDay(-1) != null) newDay = true;

        if (newDay == true) {

            var barHr = getHour()+"";

            if (barHr != null && barHr < 10) barHr = "0"+barHr;

            if(barHr >= nHr ) {

                drawLineRelative(0,0,0,99999,PS_DOT, 1, Color.blue, "NewDay"+dayCntr);

                drawShapeRelative(0, 5, Shape.DIAMOND, null, Color.blue, Shape.RELATIVETOBOTTOM, "NewDay"+dayCntr);

                //if (getBarState() == BARSTATE_NEWBAR)

                if ( barHr = nHr ) vClose = close(-1)

Re: Pivot Point

To do what you want you need to use the getDay() method of the Date Object and not the getDay() function (for the description and syntax of the Date Object and its methods see the link to the corresponding article in the EFS KnowledgeBase).
FWIW this is a JavaScript object so you can find detailed information about it also in the Core JavaScript guide which is also included in the EFS KnowledgeBase.
Additionally run a search in the EFS Studies forum for the keywords day of the week and you should find some examples of how to use the Date Object for this very purpose as this topic has been covered before
If you are unfamiliar with programming in JavaScript then you may want to review the JavaScript for EFS video series and the Core JavaScript Reference Guide mentioned before. Those will provide you with a thorough introduction to programming in JavaScript which is at the foundation of EFS. Then go through the EFS KnowledgeBase and study the Help Guides and Tutorials which will provide you with the specifics of EFS.
