Pivot Point History

[Trader273]

I was looking for a way to only have the current days pivots displayed. I found a way to do this a while back, but after a couple days of searching for it, no luck. It was something not to difficult. I remember is was that you had to add a couple lines in the preMain() and a line or two in the Main(). I also found the way to remove the "ramps" from the previous day to the current day, but that didnt do what I'm looking for. Any ways, any help with this would be appreciated.



Thanks

Hello Nick,

To prevent the pivots from plotting on the historical days, you need to compare the date of the bars to the system date using the corresponding date object for each. Check for the first bar in the chart that has a date that matches today’s current date, then allow the rest of the formula to compute. Here's a code example of how to do this. Add this to the top of your main() function.

var bToday = false;

function main() {
    if (getBarState() == BARSTATE_ALLBARS) {
        bToday = false;
    }
    
    if (bToday == false && getDay(0) != getDay(-1)) {
        var vDate = new Date();
        var vBarDate = getValue("time");
        if (vDate.getDate() == vBarDate.getDate() && vDate.getMonth() == vBarDate.getMonth()) {
            bToday = true;
        }
    }
    if (bToday == false) return;

    ....
    ....
