Changed Pivot Indicator coding

[ManuAdam]

Dear Sir, Please help me create a correct cs file as when I am trying to compile my cs file, NT7 is throwing error. Rghtly so, as I am unable to define some terms in right context. Ninjatrader 7 has a default Pivot indicator. I am trying to create a little deformed pivot indicator. Normal pivot point is sum of previous day high, low and close divided 3. And existing pivot indicator calculates R1 R2 R3 S1 S2 S3 on that basis and then draws respective lines. In my pivot, i am trying to use a different pivot point which is : sum of today's open and previous day's high, low and close divided by 4. And then drawing respective PP1 (say), R11 R21 R31 S11 S21 S31 ..... along with normal pivot lines. In my changed Cs I couldnot properly define today's open. Hence NT7 is throwing error. I dont have much understanding about NT7 program language and too dumb to make right changes. I am attaching here my changed Pivot cs file. I humbly request the seniors or more knowledgeable members to look at it and upload the correct file again. That would be very kind help.
If it is not too much to ask, I want an another Pivot indicator, with PP= today's (open+high+low+close)/4 ... no previous day data. Of course this indicate will do On bar update and PP, resistance and support will change as the intraday session proceeds. it appears dumb to think about such pivot, but I seriously need this for some purpose. I would be greatly obliged for any help.

Hello ManuAdam,

Thank you for your post.

The error you receive is because you have not defined the variable 'todayOpen'.
You will need to define this as a double in the Variables section of the code:

#region Variables
private double todayOpen = 0;

Dear Sir, thanks for your quick reply. I very much appreciate it. I did add private double todayOpen = 0; now and defined the term properly. I also made some relevant additions for these new variables. Finally I was able to save and compile the script for indicator. BUT... it didnt work. I am still missing some important points, it seems.. as mypivots is still only drawing default PP and R&S lines and not my new PP1 and R!&S! lines series. Please help. I am attaching here my new changed cs file. Please look at it and upload the corrected on. I would be ever obliged for your precious time and effort.

Hello ManuAdam,

Thank you for your response.

We do not provide custom programming or debugging services to our users. I can however assist you and point you in the right direction.

The recent 'MyPivots1.cs' you posted is missing the todayLow and todayHigh declarations in the Variables section.

		private double todayHigh = 0;
		private double todayLow = 0;

Please let me know if this corrects the values of the indicator.
