Pivot formula...The variable pivot bug

With PivotConsole :

Take a 1mn chart, apply a 10mn variable pivot.

Instead of displaying the new pivot at 2:00pm, Pivotconsole will display it 1 bar later at 2:01pm...I guess this is a bug?

I isolated the function that calculates the variable pivot in a separate script and the bug seems to be in it, as my formula is also displaying the pivot with a 1 bar lag...

Chris, can you have a look at this ?

Here is a script for a Value Chart that I developed a few months ago. It operates in real time and displays the bars using Draw Line routines.

Pivot console - bug

Robert,

I had a look at your code, unfortunately :
1. it pumps my CPU to maximum (!)
2. you use a lot of non explicit names for variables and without any comments in the code it is super hard to read your code.

Chris,

It would be great if you could find the bug that makes the calculation of variable pivot be shifted by 1 bar...

I'm trying.

Hello Phantom:

Sorry for your cpu nightmare experience.

Here is a revised script file to ease the cpu pain a little where you can cutoff the number of bars to be displayed with drawn lines. Unfortunatley line drawing is a bit of a cpu killer. I have not used this chart for a while as the signals did not suit my trading methodology and my coding has moved a long way since I put this one together.

If anyone is interested re Stoller (STARC) bands I have posted a revised script as per the following link:-

http://forum.esignalcentral.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=26997#post26997

It corrects the problem of the buggy eSignal built in ATR indicator.

I have attached a revised Stoller script as I forgot that we need to do a Wilders EMA as an averaging rather than a straightforward SMA (except for the first few bars of the price series). The results are still different from that given by using eSignal's buggy built in ATR study.

If anyone is interested in exploring other bands such as Anderson, Bollinger, Headley, Keltner & Kirshenbaum with a "twist" please have a look at the following thread:-

New version of Pivot Console has been uploaded to File Share. This should take care of the variable pivot problem (thanks for your assistance Phantom).

For those interested, I uploaded a new script called VariablePivots to the File Share area along with a snapshot of same. The script focuses on creating pivots based upon intraday bar intervals (e.g., view a 5-min chart and set the pivot interval to 60 minutes and this will create floor trader pivots based on the prior 60-min bar, etc.)

Hello Chris,

Thanks for your new EFS, they greatly help! I have been waiting for such a code on variable pivots for a long time but was not able to code it by myself due to complexity of calculating index.

On the new pivot console formula, I noticed that if you remove and put again the V pivot by clicking on V-/V+ you will sometimes find a different variable pivot calculation. It seems to me that the EFS sometimes forget to refresh the calculation (I used ES #F with 30mn pivot on 10mn timeframe, with 10 days auto time template) automatically.

I will try to narrow down the problem but I noticed it several time today.

Thank You Chris

It is really good and efficient and improved .

Thanks for all your scripts.

Hi Chris

The links on
