you have not given enough detail for people to help you.

eg.
what is the chart resolution ? hourly chart?
how would you like it displayed? line? number?
do you want someone to code it for you? or someone to help you resolve a coding problem?

A search in the Multicharts Knowledgebase brought up something that would probably do what you have in mind on an hourly chart. Pivot Study
Besides that I am almost sure that you can find a study that does what you have in mind via google, too.

Well, maybe that didn't come out as I wanted too...

What is affordable to me might not be to others...

Many in this forum already commented on the fine programming Chris does.

I know what you want chipeur.

You want this:

Chris programmed it for me a couple of years ago.
It plots the previous 60min OHLC (there you can only see the high and low) into the next hour. This way you can use the previous extremes as resistance/support. Later I added Mark Fisher's Pivots (the gray lines).

...but he wants hourly pivot on an hourly chart, and he has not specified how he want the pivot presented. Maybe a dot?

A slight modification of the link I gave you should do it then:

Code: Select all

Variables:
PIVOTPOINT(0);

PIVOTPOINT = (HIGH[1] + LOW[1] + CLOSE[1] + OPEN[1]) / 4;

Plot1(PIVOTPOINT, "PIVOTPOINT");
Format the plot as line, dot, cross - whatever you prefer. The only thing you might need to add is any support and resistance calculations, but for that one would need to know the formula you prefer.

This would look something like this, depending on the formula for the first support of course:

Code: Select all

Variables:
PIVOTPOINT(0),
Support1(0);

PIVOTPOINT = (HIGH[1] + LOW[1] + CLOSE[1] + OPEN[1]) / 4;
Support1 = 2 * PIVOTPOINT - HIGH[1];

Plot1(PIVOTPOINT, "PIVOTPOINT");
Plot2(Support1, "Support1");
The same way you'd add the other support and resistance points and you have a study that should do what you have in mind. If you have problems with the coding post them in here and I am sure someone will help you out.

see this one in 30 mn chart

http://www.linnsoft.com/charts/RollingPivots.html

we can have a input to have 30 or 60 mn rolling pivot

it seem to me that it is a good idea to test hourly pivots...i can tranform some code but i can t play with the time on a chart...

i hope..it s also good for MC communauty...

answers are always posted on forumto help everyone ;)

thx for your help

best regards

michael from france...we have an oscar trophy now ...lol

Since I'm a IRT user I was able to confirm opening that same chart that is shown in the link.
Those are not hourly pivots. Those are normal daily pivots plotted on a 30 minute chart.

I think you are confused on what you requested.

What you show on those links are what is shown on the image I used above. Nobody here is saying it's not possible.

I have not used it for a long time, for other intruments than the CME/EUREX futures and other intervals than a 5 minute chart you need to change the code.

Code: Select all

// Calculate Hourly Pivots on 5 min charts
input: sod (sess1starttime ), eod ( sess1endtime ), PlotUsedValuesForCalc(false);

var:
RHigh (0),
RLow (0),
PivotHourly (0),
PivotR1 (0),
PivotS1 (0),
Pivotcolor (0),
Hclose (0), //Hourly Close
Divisor (0),
MinutesForHL (0);
Once begin
if mod ( sess1starttime , 100 ) = 30 then Divisor = 30; // Session starts a :30 , ie ES , NQ
if mod ( sess1starttime , 100 ) = 00 then Divisor = 00; // We have natural hours as start , ie FDAX, BUND, ESTX50
if bartype <> 1 then raiseruntimeerror ( " Works only on minute bars " );
if barinterval <>5 then raiseruntimeerror ( " barinterval needs to be 5" );
//Test print if we have the correct sess1starttime / sess1endtime in the QM, else sod and eod needs to be adjusted manually
//For Eurex: 800 / 2200
//For CME: 830 / 1515
print ( getsymbolname , Spaces(2) , sess1starttime , Spaces(2), sess1endtime ,Spaces(2), mod ( sess1starttime , 100 ), Spaces(2), Divisor, Spaces(2),barinterval);

end;
if barstatus ( 1 ) = 2 then
begin
if mod ( time,100 ) = Divisor or t = eod then
begin
Hclose= Close;
If Divisor = 00 then
begin
RHigh = Highest( High , 12 );
RLow = Lowest ( Low , 12 );
end;
If Divisor = 30 then
begin
if t = eod then
begin
RHigh = Highest( High , 9 );
RLow = Lowest ( Low , 9 );
end
else
begin
RHigh = Highest( High , 12 );
RLow = Lowest ( Low , 12 );
end;
end;

PivotHourly = (HClose+RHigh+RLow)/3;
PivotR1=(2*PivotHourly )-RLow ;
PivotS1=(2*PivotHourly )-RHigh ;
if PivotHourly >= PivotHourly[1] then Pivotcolor = green else Pivotcolor= darkbrown;
// Plot used values for pivot calc at the end of the last calc bar
if PlotUsedValuesForCalc then
begin
Plot4 (Hclose,"Hclose", darkgray);
Plot5 (RHigh, "RHigh ", magenta );
Plot6 (RLow, "RLow", cyan );
end;

end;

//Plot as Dot or Cross, forward 1 Bar
plot1 [-1]( PivotHourly , " PivotHourly ", Pivotcolor );
plot2 [-1]( PivotR1, " PivotR1 ", red );
plot3 [-1]( PivotS1, " PivotS1 ", blue );


end;

Hi olobay.

This is a custom made study (ie. I've payed for its development).
Can't post it.
