Pivots in Playback NT8

[Jschmelz]

I'm having trouble getting the pivot lines to show up using a 30 minute chart. When I add the Pivot indicator without changing the defaults I get the message 'Insufficient historical data to calculate pivots'.

I'm currently test driving the market replay using Dec NQ futures with data downloaded from 9/13 - 9/20. I've performed a couple searches on the forum for 'Pivot' and tried to change the Pivot Range to Weekly and Monthly which hasn't helped here either.

Appreciate any and all help!

Hello Jschmelz,

Thank you for your note.

Would you please provide a screen shot of the settings you are using for the pivots? Similar to the one I've attached.

To send a screenshot with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using Window's Snipping Tool.

I look forward to your reply.

Hey Alan, screenshot is attached.

Hello Jschmelz,

If you right click on the chart >data series> and set days to load to 500, does that resolve the issue with not enough data?

I look forward to your reply.

Hey Alan - I just set the days to load to 500 but it doesn't seem to work. Does it matter that I'm only using the historical data from 9/14 - 9/21/2018?

Hello Jschmelz,

Yes, you need sufficient historical data for the pivots to calculate. From your screen shot it doesn't look like you have even a day, 00:30 to 9:30.

When using the pivots indicator make sure you have sufficient historical data, you could see the following link which mentions it needs the previous days data,
