I recently joined the MQL5 platform as a freelancer, so I have a few reviews and completed projects. On the other hand, I’m a skilled coder with 15+ years of experience in C#, C++, Python, JS, Pascal, Lua, MQL, Visual Basic, 1C, X++, ABAP, and other languages. - Versione: 1.0
Overview?
The **Pivot Points On Custom Timeframe** indicator for MetaTrader 5 calculates and displays traditional pivot levels (P, S1–S3, R1–R3) based on a higher timeframe of your choice, regardless of the current chart's timeframe. It is designed to help traders identify potential support and resistance zones using classic pivot formulas, calculated from user-defined periods such as D1, W1, H4, etc.
This indicator can optionally show price labels and trigger alerts when price crosses the pivot levels.
