Hi Habeeb,

This indicator is the Best! It's the only one I want to use(after looking at the rest)!!! I would just like to make a small request, if possible...it would be nice to have the option to change the start time. Is there any chance you may be able to change/update the indicator to allow us to do that? I would prefer using the NY close data at 5pm, instead of waiting until 7pm(0GMT) for the pivots to change. Other than that, Don't Change a Thing!!! The monthly, weekly, daily options are GREAT!

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Palmer,
the pivots are calculated based on the bars/candles. Today's pivots will use the previous bars data, and the new pivots will be calculated as soon as the new bar opens, irrespective of the timezone.
I think Bundyraider posted a pivot caculator where you could select the time.

Hi Andrew,
glad you like it. Having the option to select the timezone, was one of the upgrades that was in the pipeline. Currently, time is a bit tight, with 2 little ones taking over the house. Will see what can do. Maybe it's not as complicated as I thought it'll be.

Sounds good Habeeb! I know how it is to have little ones. I've got an 11month old daughter right now and another one due in May!!!

Thanks for the reply...enjoy your little ones!

Been using this tool for as long as I can remember, great work Habeeb. If you do an update in the future, an option for mid-pivots on the dailies would be great. I PMed you about doing this myself a while back. I tried to work with the code from a different pivot mq4 with mids, it was a mess, so I simply run both with just the mids from the 2nd indicator, it's fine for now.

Hey, great indicator.

Only problem i have is that as i am GMT time zone i believe the daily high / lows are being calculated slightly wrong. Would be great to get a option to change this or perhaps a brief tutorial of how to adjust the code?

thanks again.

Hi Trader KGB,
when you're talking about mid-pivots, I take it that it's not the S/R levels? You'll have to explain a bit more, or provide the calculation for it. Post a pic while you're at it.

Hi Contango,
the highs/lows are taken from the previous bar of your chart. Pivots will differ depending on your brokers timezone setting. Will work on this, as it seems to be the only thing missing from the indicator ... oh yes, and the option to leave previous pivot levels on the chart.

Hi Habeeb,

Mid-pivots are just simply halfway between the standard pivots (halfway between the daily and the R1/S1, halfway between S1 & S2, etc).

Here's a pic of the euro today, support being found at the daily/S1 mid-pivot.

GMT+2 is correct for pivot calculation. All of my MT4 demos (including North Finance) are on GMT+2. As long as 00:00 on MT4 corresponds to 17:00 EST, it's calculating the pivots correctly.

edit - NF has the dreaded Sunday candle.. Make sure you have Use_Sunday_Data set to 'true' or else your daily pivots on Monday will be misaligned.

It probably has to do with the weekend gap down on GJ, the 17:00 open was the high, so if your broker missed it, then your DP for today is off. My ECN shows a DP of 204.96 like you're showing. One of my MT4 demos is off for the reason above (showing a lower open on Sunday and thus a 204.85 DP today).

What does Islander have for his DP?

Here's the indicator I use alongside Habeeb's. It lets you adjust other options: timezone offset (GMTshift), mid-pivots, etc. The only thing it lacks are weeklies and monthlies.

Habeeb, this is the indicator that I tried unsuccessfully to merge with yours. It might be of some help if you decide to do an update.

Unfortunately no. This is why I avoid MT4 feeds with the dreaded Sunday candle. Not only does it play havoc with these pivots, but it also throws off every calculation on the daily chart (6 candles per week means all MAs and indicators are wrong, trendlines are wrong due to the x-axis being extended, etc).
