Re: How can I get a Line of the Pivot Point

I already did Lionel; see my earlier posts. And 
Theo posted the correct formulas from the TraderTalk website. Neo's statement 
that a pivot point is a price array is just plain wrong. And his previous post 
on the same subject saying that the formula for typical price, which is 
Equis pivot point formula, is an average of the bar with a bias to the close is 
also wrong. It has no bias. And my comments weren't unnecessary!

  it would be 
  helpful if you posted what you think should be the correct instructions 
  without any unnecessary comments.

    Well to be blunt Neo you don't have a clue as 
    to what you're talking about!

      future reference, a variable will only plot if you put the variable name 
      by itself in the formula, after the definition. If within the formula 
      follow it with a ";", if it is at the end then the ";" is not 
      necessary.

      point is a price array where the value(s) before and after are lower for a 
      high pivot point and the reverse for a low pivot 
point.

          size=4>The formula you have written is for the "typical price" which 
          is a MetaStock parameter. It is an average of the bar with a bias to 
          the close. It is not a formula for a PivotPoint.

          size=4>In your formula you have created a variable (PivotPoint) [which 
          I might call TypicalPrice]. To get it to display add a second line to 
          plot the variable: "PivotPoint".
