Pivot

[Tomcat8]

Hello,

is it possible to draw the pivot lines to the right hand side.
Maby ten minutes. Can this be realised with efs.

Thanks

Do you mean using one of the pivot efs that are in the Pivots subfolder of Formulas? If yes which one?

Alexis,

I ment the "Pivot Pointall.efs" study.

Attached is a modified PivotPointAllNew (which I believe is a newer version of PivotPointAll) with the pivot lines extended 20 bars to the right.

Woodiesccipivots..not work

I have tried to modify this formula several times with no succes.

Is there a way to be able to change the starting time...reason being that the ZB bond pivots should start at 7:20 am est...and the YM pivots should start at 9:30 am est.

I use this on a timeplate (YM) set to dynamic 9:30 4:15 ...and the (ZB) bonds 7:20 4:00 close..and it will not compute properly.

Woodies CCI Pivots formulas is h/l/o/o/4.....
previous day hi ....lo
todays open twice...bonds 7:20.....ZB.

Why won't this work the way it is coded..to get the open of today...If I open chart before 9:30...I will close and reopen or reload the formulas after the open

Thanks

Actually the efs does work the way it is coded. Irrespective of the Time Template you may be using - the formula derives the OHLC values from the Daily bars. These are based on the full trading sessions which are 19:00-16:00 CT for ZB and 19:15-16:00 CT for YM. Hence the values used for the Open are those at 19:00 and 19:15 respectively and not 7:20 and 9:30.
Following is a 60 min chart for the complete session of ZB H4 with the cursor on the opening bar of the January 15 session ie 19:00 of January 14th (the chart shows 20:00 because I am on ET).



And below is a table from the CBOT itself. As you can see the opening value for 1/15 is 11208 which is the same value as in eSignal's chart and not 11218 which is the "open" at 7:20 CT. FWIW you can see the table by clicking here



The same thing would happen for example if you were calculating Woodie's pivot with ES. The only difference is that for that symbol there is an artificially created equivalent (using the =2 suffix) that plots only the Regular Trading Hours thereby making it possible to use those "daily" values.

Alex,

could you give me a hand and make it possible that the formula Posted: 01-15-2004 05:57 PM from you only shows maybe
five days back?

Thanks in advance

Hello Tomcat and Alex,

Here's a little code snippet that will do what you need to only display the last 5 days. The code below can be incorporated into any formula for this purpose. There is one input parameter that controls the number of days to display, nDays. The default is set to five days. However, around a holiday week, such as this week, only 4 days will be displayed. So if you change nDays to 6 it will include Friday the 13th as the fifth day. What this code snippet does is set vDisplayDate to be equal to nDays prior to the current date, plus 2 days to account for weekends. I've also added this code to Alex's latest formula below.

pivotpointallnew(extend)2.efs

var vDisplayDate = null;
var bDisplay = false;

function main(nDays) {
    if (vDisplayDate == null) {
        if (nDays == null) nDays = 5;
        var msPerDay = (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
        vDisplayDate = new Date() *1;
        vDisplayDate = vDisplayDate - ((nDays+2)*msPerDay);
        vDisplayDate = new Date(vDisplayDate);
    }
    if (bDisplay == false && getDay(0) != getDay(-1)) {
        var vDate = getValue("Time");
        vDate = new Date(vDate);
        if (vDate >= vDisplayDate) {
            bDisplay = true;
        }
    }
    if (bDisplay == false) return;


  // your formula code here

    return;
}

Alex,

could you help me again.

I cant erase the vertical lines in the pivot efs study with only five days back and with extended 20 bars to the right.
What do I have to delete?

Thanks

Replace the corresponding section of preMain with the following
Alex

// R2
    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_FLATLINES,0)
    setDefaultBarStyle(PS_DASH, 0);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.RGB(255,0,0), 0);
    setDefaultBarThickness(2, 0);

    // R1
    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_FLATLINES,1)
    setDefaultBarStyle(PS_DOT, 1);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.RGB(0,0,255), 1);
    setDefaultBarThickness(1, 1);   

    // Pivot  Point
    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_FLATLINES,2)
    setDefaultBarStyle(PS_SOLID, 2);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.RGB(0,0,0), 2);
    setDefaultBarThickness(1, 2);

    // S1
    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_FLATLINES,3)
    setDefaultBarStyle(PS_DOT, 3);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.RGB(0,0,255), 3);
    setDefaultBarThickness(1, 3);

    // S2
    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_FLATLINES,4)
    setDefaultBarStyle(PS_DASH, 4);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.RGB(255,0,0), 4);
    setDefaultBarThickness(2, 4);

Perfect. Thanks
