Hi Tony --

This is probably not the answer to all the questions you asked, but here is afl code to plot the pivot points for tomorrow one day ahead.

----------------------------

//    PivotPoints.afl
//
//    Traditional pivot points.
//    Thought by some to indicate levels of support
//    and resistance.
//R2 = P + (H - L) = P + (R1 - S1)
//R1 = (P x 2) - L
//P = (H + L + C) / 3
//S1 = (P x 2) - H
//S2 = P - (H - L) = P - (R1 - S1)
P = (H + L + C) / 3;
R1 = (P * 2) - L;
S1 = (P * 2) - H;
R2 = P + (R1 - S1); // P + (H - L)
S2 = P - (R1 - S1); // P - (H - L)
Plot(C,"C",colorBlack,styleCandle);
//    Displace the plot of the pivot points one bar
//    to the right.
//    Pivot points are based on the current bar,
//    but are thought to provide indication of
//    support and resistance for the next bar.
//   
Displace=1;
Plot(R2,"R2",colorRed,styleLine,0,0,Displace);
Plot(R1,"R1",colorPink,styleLine,0,0,Displace);
Plot(P,"P",colorBlue,styleLine,0,0,Displace);
Plot(S1,"S1",colorPaleGreen,styleLine,0,0,Displace);
Plot(S2,"S2",colorGreen,styleLine,0,0,Displace);
//Figure 8.5 Pivot Points

Hi,
I am hoping to have someone point me in the correct direction.
Below is my intraday code to compute tomorrows pivot points and
S1,S2,S3
R1,R2,R3
In the title line of my intraday chart is displayed daily cummulative
quotes for close open volume etc and tomorrows pivots.
see code below

even though my price graph is in 5 minute timeframe increments i
switch to a daily time frame to compute yesterdays close, high and
low and am able to compute the pivots for the following day correctly.

i have 2 questions which i hope someone can answer:
1) i need to click twice on a bar to get the values to display on
the title for price chart (the first click shows most of the fields
as empty values). why? may i get around this?
2) i tried using the plot command(see last line of code). i expected
a single straight line plotted on my intraday chart ( a different one
for each day). But i think i cannot plot it correctly since each of
the arrays is in daily timeframe rather than 5 minute timeframe(which
is the display timeframe for the chart.) would populating an array
with the same value for all the intraday timeframe fix the problem?
which command do i use to do this? or is there a better way

Thank you in advance for your help and consideration
Tony
