Help adding a Pivot Range to following code:

Postby olobay » 17 Sep 2012

Hi,

I am hoping that somebody will be able to help me. I would like to add a range around the Pivot in the code below. The math for that range is (yesterday's high + yesterday's low) /2. Then you subtract that from the pivot value (high+low+close)/3 and it gives you a value. Then you add that value to the pivot and you have an upper range. Then you subtract that value from the pivot to get the lower range. So the new study will plot exactly the same as the code below but will also plot 2 additional horizontal lines forming a pivot range.

Thanks.

Code: Select all

[LegacyColorValue = true];

{based on intraday data (is sometimes a little different than daily data, so won't match exact)}
{idea is that it will change each day @ "NewDayTM", to reflect the next days numbers.}
{..check the open/close values to verify the day it's showing. It seems to work}
{always posting 1 bar behind, since must be NO on "update value intra-bar"}

{The indicator has an input called PivotType. Use 3 or 4 as PivotType and you should get the Settlement Price,
since when PivotType = 3 or 4, the CloseD function is used. The CloseD will return the settlement price. }

input: PivotType(0),
BarsBack(60),
ShowClose(1),
ShowOpen(1),
ShowHalfPivots(1),
ShowLevel(0),
DaysBack(1),
NewDayTM(1510),
RoundLevels(false),
DecPlaces(2),
SupResType(0);

var: theday(0);
var: Maxcnt(11);
array:
TL[12](-1),Val[12](-1),
Color[12](6),Label[12]("L"),FTextID[12](-1), TLabel[12](" ");

var: cnt(0),sdate(0),stime(0),fPivot(0),twOpen(0),theRange(0);

if lastbaronchart then begin

if time >= NewDayTM then theday = 0 else theday = 1;
theday = theday + DaysBack-1;
if theday <= 0 then begin
theday = 0;
twOpen = 0;
end else twopen = theday-1; {make sure this weeks open isn't <0}

{store weekly Open and Close that we care about}
Val[10] = CloseD(theday);
if PivotType >0 and PivotType <4 then Val[11] = OpenD(twopen) else Val[11] = OpenD(theday);

{calculate central pivot based on pivot type}{not sure how usefull some of these might be}
if PivotType = 1 then fPivot = (HighD(theday) + LowD(theday) + Val[11]) /3
else if PivotType = 2 then fPivot = (HighD(theday) + LowD(theday) + Val[11] + Val[11]) /4
else if PivotType = 3 then fPivot = (HighD(theday) + LowD(theday) + Val[10] + Val[11]) /4

else fPivot = (HighD(theday) + LowD(theday) + Val[10]) /3; {default standard Pivot}

if SupResType = 1 then begin {seems like there is always a little different way to do these}
theRange = (HighD(theday) - LowD(theday))/2;
