Re: Best Pivot Points
Don't be disappointed.
MultiCharts has its own extension to the EasyLanguage. There are plenty you can do with what you have.
If you are a keen programmer, the MultiCharts .NET edition can do even more than the TS OOP.

This code is written with TS EasyLanguage with the OOP extension.
The new extension can do things the legacy EasyLanguage cannot do (or not easily done).
This is not a conversion exercise; this is a rewrite project.

To get a specific data, look back is one method.
But if this is a regular occurance, it is easier to capture the data while it happens.
eg. on a moving average cross over,
you should evaluate that situation on every bar.
If the MA have crossed, then immediately capture the data you want.

if you are using a 5 min chart, and the instrument opens at 9:30 am
You can set the session time to start at 9:25 am,

Re: TURNOVER variable [SOLVED]
Do you need an array?
If you want to know the average, then just calculate the moving average of the "Turnover".

Re: Adding backadjusted contracts from IQ, not working [SOLVED]
What do you mean by "need to build a new custom future"?
All you need is to set up the artificial symbol once, and MC will do the back adjusting for you on the fly.
ps. I am not trying to persuade you not to seek the solution you want.
