The Pivot Point indicator currently works on the last bar, so it works totally correct for daily charts, but gives you the Pivots of the (for example) last 5 minutes bar on a 5 minutes chart.

A new Pivot tool covering all possible features and settings you can imagine (including setting the starting time by hour and setting a period, so you can draw Pivots on e.g. 6 hour periods) which will work on all time resolutions is in development, planned release is begin og Q4/2007.

The new FX AccuCharts 7 release is in the final QA phase. It brings a lot of other new features beside the new Pivot Point tool and therefore everything took a bit longer. We expect it to be shipped to customers in January.

I very recently installed the new version 7 of the Accucharts and was pleased to see the new Pivot Points drawing tool.
The issue I'm having is I can only put on the daily Pivot points.
I would like to see the weekly and monthly tool also all on the same chart so I have daily, weekly and monthly PP all on one chart.

Does anyone know if there's a way to do that?
Can it be programmed?

Also I wasn't able to use templates I set up without freezing the platform...any ideas?

New FXAC is out since a week now and Pivot Points are included. They can be applied on any chart (from tick-by-tick to monthly) and will by default plot the pivot points based on the last trading day, using this days data. By chaning the tools settings, any period from one hour to 24 hours can be defined as calculation period (so e.g. you could plot PPs based on the last two hours trading data in a daily chart).

Some people had issues with the 7.0 release and there will be an upgrade iin the next days fixing those issues.

fxlover1212 if you have problems with your templates, please send them to me and I can give them to our development team for investigation.

Hi...


Thought I would post here even though its not regarding the Pivots..


Has anyone noticed in this latest edition that when putting an indicator in a seperate window under the charts.....that over a number of bars, the indicator no longer lines up with the chart...seen better on the smaller timeframes.....looks like the most recent points on the indicator are spreading out thus pushing the indicator to the left...compared to the chart.

Actually clicking on the reload icon you can see the indicator shift back to where it should be.

Has anyone noticed this...

Hi..


Update....

I had drawn a vertical line on both the price chart and the indicator chart and you can see the actual indicator shift 1 place to the left with each new bar added on the indicator....while the line stays in place on the price chart.

I guess nobody checks there charts

I've been considering a switch to Accucharts. They certainly seem to be up & coming. I needed to see a pivot point tool and I'm glad to see it finally here. I figured out how the PP tool works. Daily PP are the default. We can also add weekly PP or monthly PP if we input the values manually, I'm fine with that as it is minimal chart maintenance. BUT I still cannot get my charts set up the way I would like them to be.

Does anyone know how we could add daily, weekly AND monthly PP all to one chart. It seems that I can only add one set of PP per chart(daily or weekly or monthly). I can do it on the Intellicharts no problem as they have the option to add these PP all on one chart. I can add multiple Moving averages or Oscillators but only one set of PP per chart. We need to chose between daily, weekly or monthly.... but I want daily, weekly & monthly on the same chart all at once. Am I missing something? Is this beyond what The Accucharts can Do? Does anyone have a suggestion on how to accomplish this? Do I need to wait for the next upgrade? Your help will always be much appreciated. Thanks in advance to all the fine traders in this forum.

The current PP implementations supports only one PP per chart (to be precise, per security in a chart pane). This means you could see more PPs in one chart window, BUT this will not help you with weekly and monthly PPs, because the calculation period (the time region which is considered for calculating the PP values) is restricted to 1-24 hours. The only workaround you could do right now is using user defined Basis Values (PP Properties -> Parameter -> "User Defined") and entering the weekly/monthly High/Low/Close values manually (which is not that bad as you would do it only 1-4 times per month).

It is planned to add multiple PPs per security and weekly/monthly calculation periods in a future release.

Just use the "Moving Average - ... OHLC" indicators and set the FidType the following way:

open (FidType = 1)
high (FidType = 2)
low (FidType = 3)
close (FidType = 4)

The selected field will then be used for all calculations. There are many OHLC indicators supporting this in the exact same way.

Does anyone know how to but Laguerre on accucharts?

Also, can you make the current candle quit changing colors. It is quite annoying IMO. I can tell if it's bearish or bullish candle and I'm not interested if the previous tick was up or down.

Does anyone else have problems trading from the chart. 75% of the time it says that the connection is broken and I have to go back to the trade tab - run GTS again.

Thanks

I too have tried to turn OFF the current candle changing colors, but it doesn't work. I have tried through general chart settings and I have tried through each individual chart loaded. Its annoying indeed.

Hi Robert,

If possible, in the next release, could your developers add an option to disable Sunday candles on the daily chart? (have Sunday open - Monday 5pm be a single candle)?

Also, I had a number of installation issues on the recent release. The installer couldn't find "FX Accucharts.msi" in the C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations\TTProfessional\ folder, even though it was there. I tried copying the file and pointing the installer elsewhere to no avail. I think it's probably related to .Net, if you could remove the .Net requirement from the installation process, that would be fantastic. Thanks
