I would appreciate the assistance of anyone that can help me setup INTRADAY PIVOTS, SUPPORT (S1, S2) and RESISTANCE (R1, R2) in marketscope charting system using LUA Language.

The problem I’m having is that I could not find the code for DAILY TIME PERIODS in Marketscope and LUA. The default periods code is ‘bars’ i.e. 5minute, 1minute etc. Here is my code that I tried for the PIVOT INDICATOR:


function Init()
indicator:name(resources:get("name"));
indicator:description(resources:get("description") );
indicator:requiredSource(core.Bar);
indicator:type(core.Indicator);

indicator.parameters:addInteger("n", resources:get("param_n_name"), resources:get("param_n_description"), 0);
indicator.parameters:addColor("pp_color", resources:get("param_pp_color_name"), resources:get("param_pp_color_description"), core.rgb(255, 0, 0));
end

-- Indicator instance initialization routine
-- Processes indicator parameters and creates output streams
-- TODO: Refine the first period calculation for each of the output streams.
-- TODO: Calculate all constants, create instances all subsequent indicators and load all required libraries

-- Parameters block
-- initialization of variables
local n;
local first;
local source = nil;
local rdg = 0;
-- Streams block
local pp = nil;

-- Routine
-- initialization of instance of indicator
function Prepare()
n = instance.parameters.n;
source = instance.source;
rdg = 0;
first = source:first();

local name = profile:id() .. "(" .. source:name() .. ", " .. n .. ")";
instance:name(name);
pp = instance:addStream("pp", core.Line, name, "pp", instance.parameters.pp_color, first);
end

-- Indicator calculation routine
-- TODO: Add your code for calculation output values
-- output will be seen on pp
function Update(period)
if period >= first and source:hasData(period) then
rdg = (source.high[period] + source.low[period] + source.close[period]) / 3;
pp[period] = rdg;
end
end

HI,

i also tried to code a automated PIVOT, but i think that is not possible.

You can try this PIVOT indicator as well, but you must put the daily high close open manually. You will find it in the parameter dialog.

One guy already automated pivots:
Bearishtrader's E-Mini Day Trading (B)log: April 6, 2009 FXCM Trading Station II(TM) Pivots Indicator

Also there are a couple of another indicators on:
fxlua

That is the indicator i attached. This is not fully automated. You have to put the high low close values every day to the indicator manually.

An ability to get additional data for the indicator (currently only the chart at which the indicator is applied is available) is currently being discussed for the next version of the SDK.

Thank you very much! I am trying it now in MarketScope. Thank you!

Hi at all,


i finsihed the code for a automated PIVOT Level Indicator.

The indicator gets the daily PIVOT Level.

How to use is Indicator??

Well you have to parameters to set.

1. Period
2. Stunden (is german for hour)

1. the period depents on the Timeframe of the chart u use.

Chart M1:
period is 1440
Chart M5:
period is 288
Chart M15:
period is 96
Chart M30:
period is 48
Chart 1h:
period is 24

2. Stunden(hour)

here u set at which clock the pivot is calculatet new.

If "Stunden" is 6 then the PIVOT will be calculate new at 06:00 a clock.

So check it out.

Sorry period calculation was wrong:

use

Chart M1:
period is 1440 +32
Chart M5:
period is 288 +16
Chart M15:
period is 96 +8
Chart M30:
period is 48 + 4
Chart 1h:
period is 24 + 2

i copied the code for the full automatic PIVOT Level indi to you other thread
