{quote} Sorry but I no longer do coding requests. You could try posting in one of the "I code for free" threads, hopefully another programmer will see your request there and help you.

Is there a way to correct that problem or might it be not a problem at all: it is a particular representation of prices on my broker server?

{quote} Dr P, I'm not familiar with the way that Initial Balance is calculated, and it would take a significant amount of time for me to reverse engineer it from the code. At a brief glance, it looks like the indicator might be counting back a certain number of M30 candles, to gather the previous day's data. Hence I guess that if Sunday candles existed, they could potentially be used in the calculation; but without walking through the code line by line, and doing some testing, I couldn't say for sure. The simplest solution would be to find a br0ker...

{quote} Sorry, but I'm not doing any MT4 coding/troubleshooting now. See the 'MT4 Programming' section in post #1 for some possible alternatives. Or find another pivots indicator -- there are plenty of them around.

{quote} It just occurred to me that maybe I didn't explain how the RefreshPeriod TF works well enough:  You can type T if you want the chart to refresh itself on every new price tick.  You can type absolute values: M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, W1 or MN. This locks the refresh TF no matter what the chart's local TF is.  Or you can type: ...., -3, -2, -1, +0, +1, +2, +3, .... i.e. if the first character is a plus or minus sign, this sets the TF to one that is relative to the chart's local TF (hence the refresh TF will change...

I probably wrote the original DLB indicator before the StrToTF() function, then when I updated all of my indicators/EAs to use the function, I forgot to update the instructions in the DLB post. Thanks for pointing it out, I will change the instructions when I have some spare time.

Thought it was just a rename of parameter, with the same functionality. I actually saw the names were different before, didn't give it much attention.
