Pivot Points "Best Pivot Point Article"

I came across this when reading through Investopedia's "Forex Walkthrough"

It walks you through how to calculate pivot points. which in not needed if you have an indicator, but still good to know why the support and resistance line are where they are.

The most important part for me came toward the middle of the article when it talked about "mid-points". In a range bound market the "mid-points" are very good support and resistance.

Below is the link to the article. Check it out and try the Pivot Points with the "mid-points". They've been working for me.

Pivot Monday fixed indicator

Hi all, below pivot indicator is doing what i need except i'd like

the option to get rid of all the S/R lines on my chart..

Is there an easy way to get this? Turning the colour of said lines

to none doesn't seem to work from one session to the other.

Just need the the central pivot line showing on my charts.

Any help would be appreciated

Pivot Point Calculations

I've been seeing this formula difference in the coding of Weekly Pivot Point calculations in different pivot indicators in this thread:

a)

// WeeklyPivot

P = (last_week_high + last_week_low + this_week_open + last_week_close) / 4;

b)

// WeeklyPivot

P = (last_week_high + last_week_low + last_week_close) / 3;

From what I've read about pivot points, I thought that b) was the correct formula. Does anyone know why these formulas would be different? I've seen this variation in monthly pivot point calculations in different indicators as well.

dpb.

Previous days Pivots

It was easier than expected i retained the old original code and added in a Days Back and an auto magic number so that you can now load as many days on the chart as required, the screenshot shows current / 1 Day back / 2 Days Back. I changed a few of the inputs to assist in loading extra Pivots I removed all the individual line colors and put them into groups for example the R Pivots / S Pivots and M Pivots have a separate color input plus I also changed the line and text shift so that the shift numbers are now plus numbers.

Another way to display the extra Pivots not quite as confusing as the above screenshot
