PIVOTS [January 2004 TASC magazine]
<FONT face="Times New Roman"

<FONT face="Times New Roman"
color=black size=2>Pivots are
based on PRIOR data, not the current data. Doing your way will base the
pivots on the current bar so you will never hit most of them. For
example if you are using daily pivots, then the pivots for today are based on
the H,L,C from yesterday. They do not change all day today. So to
plot them on today, you may have to use the REF function and reference
yesterday's data. I'm not sure how you plot them forward though.
One of the wizards should be able to tell you how to draw a line forward X
periods.
<FONT face="Times New Roman"
color=black size=3><SPAN
>
<FONT face="Times New Roman"
color=black size=2>Most
people use the daily pivots and display them on the intraday chart. To
display the daily pivot on today's 60 min chart, you will have to get
more creative because you need the final data from yesterday. You might
try using the SECURITY function and call the daily data. There
might be more elegant solutions, but this should work.
<FONT face="Times New Roman"
color=black size=3><SPAN
>
<FONT face="Times New Roman"
color=black size=2>Some
people use "variable" pivots. They recalulate the pivots
intraday. So for example, they use 60 min pivots. You can do this
also by using the Ref function. For this you won't have to use the
SECURITY function, unless you are plotting 60 min pivots on say a 5 min
chart.
<FONT face="Times New Roman"
color=black size=3><SPAN
>
<FONT face="Times New Roman"
color=black size=2>Try them
both and see which you like. Most people just use the daily ones, but if
you are real active, and trade on 5 min or 1 min charts, you may find a 60 min
pivot or 30 min pivot to be of value.
