Monthly Pivots

[roland_p71]

I 've developed a efs- code for daily, weekly and monthly pivots.
The daily and the weekly pivots are working fine, but if I let run the monthly pivots I am getting a "Window" with a message as follows: "Wrong Parameter" then eSignal shout down.

I think the matter are these lines as follows:

function preMain() {
setStudyTitle("MONTHLY_PIVOT_ALERT");
setPriceStudy(true);

setCursorLabelName("R3-Monthly", 0);
setCursorLabelName("R2-Monthly", 1);
setCursorLabelName("R1-Monthly", 2);
setCursorLabelName("PP-Monthly", 3);
setCursorLabelName("S1-Monthly", 4);
setCursorLabelName("S2-Monthly", 5);
setCursorLabelName("S3-Monthly", 6);

setDefaultBarStyle(PS_DASHDOTDOT, 0);
setDefaultBarStyle(PS_DASHDOT, 1);
setDefaultBarStyle(PS_DASH, 2);
setDefaultBarStyle(PS_DASHDOT, 3);
setDefaultBarStyle(PS_DASH, 4);
setDefaultBarStyle(PS_DASHDOT, 5);
setDefaultBarStyle(PS_DASHDOTDOT, 6);

setDefaultBarThickness(1, 0);
setDefaultBarThickness(1, 1);
setDefaultBarThickness(1, 2);
setDefaultBarThickness(1, 3);
setDefaultBarThickness(1, 4);
setDefaultBarThickness(1, 5);
setDefaultBarThickness(1, 6);

setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.brown, 0);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.brown, 1);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.brown, 2);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.olive, 3);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.brown, 4);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.brown, 5);
setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.brown, 6);

var iAlert = new FunctionParameter("iAlert", FunctionParameter.BOOLEAN);
iAlert.setDefault( true );

var iDecimals = new FunctionParameter("iDecimals", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
iDecimals.setDefault( 2 );
iDecimals.setName("Round to X decimals");


var iSymbol = new FunctionParameter("iSymbol", FunctionParameter.STRING);
iSymbol.setDefault( "AAPL" );


var iButtonX = new FunctionParameter("iButtonX", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
iButtonX.setDefault( 150 );

var iButtonY = new FunctionParameter("iButtonY", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
iButtonY.setDefault( 65 );


var iFontSize = new FunctionParameter("iFontSize", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
iFontSize.setName("Button Font Size");
iFontSize.setDefault( 10 );
}

var bInit = false;
var xHigh = null;
var xLow = null;
var xClose = null;
var xPP = null;
var xR1 = null;
var xS1 = null;
var xR2 = null;
var xS2 = null;
var xR3 = null;
var xS3 = null;

function main(iAlert, iDecimals, iFontSize, iButtonX, iButtonY ) {
// initialize upon first loading formula
if(getBarState() == BARSTATE_ALLBARS) {
drawTextPixel(iButtonX, iButtonY, " MONTHLY_PIVOT_ALERT @URL=EFS:editParameters", Color.white, Color.green,
Text.RELATIVETOLEFT|Text.RELATIVETOBOTTOM|Text.ONT OP|Text.BOLD|Text.BUTTON,
"Comic Sans MS", 13, "UpExp");

return null;
}


xSymbol1 = getSymbol().toUpperCase() ;

if(isMonthly() || isWeekly())
return;


if(bInit == false){
xHigh = high(inv("M")); /*!!! Here appears the window "Wrong Parameter"!!!*/
xLow = low(inv("M")); /*If you change the Parameter to "W" or "D" it works fine, but not with "M"!!!*/
xClose = close(inv("M"));
bInit = true;
}

var vHigh = xHigh.getValue(-1);
var vLow = xLow.getValue(-1);
var vClose = xClose.getValue(-1);
if(vHigh == null || vLow == null || vClose == null)
return;

xPP = (vHigh+vLow+vClose)/3;
xR1 = 2*xPP-vLow;
xS1 = 2*xPP-vHigh;
xR2 = (xPP-xS1)+xR1;
xS2 = xPP-(xR1-xS1);
xR3 = (2*xPP-vLow)-(vLow-vHigh);
xS3 = (2*xPP-vHigh)-(vHigh-vLow);
.....

thank you for help in advance.

Best regards

Are you located in a Timezone that is GMT +1 (or higher)?
If that is the case then that error message and subsequent shut down are due to a known bug. For the description of the issue and an interim solution you may want to see this post
