adding Pivots to the Pivots indicator? Help

[michel]

Hello guys so im modifying the pivot point indicator and adding extra pivot levels to it, but this indicator is not your regular indicator it apparently it has custom techniques to plot.
and i have made already some modification to it without success

so what has to be changed to add extra lines to this indicator?

thank you

michel, unfortuntatelty we would not be familiar with the custom code you attempt to modify, but there are several Pivot variations in the sharing that would contain more than the default levels :

so i have done these things already

step 1
did a replace all strings that matched "Pivots" with "MyPivots" I check the Match case to make sure i dont change other strings

**checked it was working ok

step 2
add brushes 2 brushes in the

#region Variables
private SolidBrush[] brushes = { new SolidBrush(Color.Black), new SolidBrush(Color.Black), new SolidBrush(Color.Black), new SolidBrush(Color.Black), new SolidBrush(Color.Black), new SolidBrush(Color.Black), new SolidBrush(Color.Black) };

step 3
initialize r4 and s4
private double r4 = 0;
private double s4 = 0;

step 4
add 2 plots in Initialize()
Add(new Plot(Color.Blue, "R4"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Red, "S4"));

in OnBarUpdate()

step 5
add 2 new equations
s4 = pp - 3 * (currentHigh - currentLow);
r4 = pp + 3 * (currentHigh - currentLow);

step 6
add 2 lines ( don't know exactly what they do)
R4.Set(r4);
S4.Set(s4);

step 7
added 2 dataseries? in #region Properties

/// <summary>
/// </summary>
[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore]
public DataSeries R4
{
get { return Values[7]; }
}

/// <summary>
/// </summary>
[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore]
public DataSeries S4
{
get { return Values[8]; }
}

after all this steps nothing is plotting

any clues?


so correction...... i added those lines and is working!

Any error messages you would notice in the Control Center Log tab as the indicator is run? Can you please attach your script so we could give it a quick run here?

Thanks,

[michel]

Actually it worked!

i did the same steps before but no success

i just did it again as i was writing this threat and to my surprised it worked!, but that was after i posted this thread

well.... keep for the record that this is how you modify this pivot indicator

cheers
