  <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.
