Automated Daily/Weekly Pivots here

Hi everyone,

I've just finished a custom indicator for MetaTrader 4. It draws the Daily and Weekly pivots automatically on the charts. You've got the option of turning off/on whichever pivots (daily or weekly) you want on the charts. By default, daily is "true" and weekly is "false". I've uploaded a zip file. You have to unzip it to "C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts\indicators", or wherever your "indicators" folder is. Start MetaTrader4 (restart if open) and the "AutoPivotIndicator" should be in the "Navigator" Toolbar under "Custom Indicators". Drag the "AutoPivotIndicator" onto your chart and the Pivots should appear.

Enjoy
Habeeb

Well done !

What time do your daily pivots take the reading from ?

Can that time be adjusted ?

Readings are taken off the daily chart. Midnight here is midnight on the chart too ... GMT +2. Don't know if MT4 price/time feed is the same everywhere.

I've still got to make it "time adjustable". Don't know how yet, but will figure it out. I know that others are using 5pm eastern time (GMT +1, I think), to work out there pivots. I want to make this part to suite the user's preference. So, if you want to use "lunch time" to work out your pivots, then that's what it should do.

Take care

THANK YOU HABEEB!

I have been looking for a weekly pivot points MT4 indicator for days but I could only come up with daily ones.

By the way, you are in my same time zone (central Europe). Where do you live? I live in Paris myself.

Guys, is this thing working properly. Seems like it's a bit broken by me. On the stroke of midnight, the pivots supposed to change automatically. This doesn't happen with me. I have to refresh before this takes effect. Oh well, will just have to sort that bug out.

For some reason, I still get my pivots messed up when I try to set them 00:00 GMT. Do you know how to do it?

Habeeb,

I don't like to gush, but you rock! I am a programmer by trade and I suck at writing indicators. Putting this out there for us to use was huge. Thank You! This indicator is my new favorite. I'll send you 10% of my demo account winnings!

Did I say Thank You?

Thanx Coach Quincy,

I've uploaded a later version somewhere on FF that does Monthly Pivots too. Anyway, I'll post it again.

Glad I could be of some help

Habeeb,

I have found the Help section in the editor to be not much, well, help. Do you have a source for a more complete description of this language? If not, could you answer a few questions? I'm trying to modify your indicator to look more like what I'm used to.

When you create a line, can you specify the weight of the line?
What would the syntax look like to determine if the new day was Monday?
if DayOfWeek = 1
or something like that.

Thanks again.

Here are 2 links you can check out.

http://www.xeatrade.com/info/Home.html
http://www.forex-tsd.com/

To specify the weight, add this line after the other ObjectSet lines.

ObjectSet("MS3_Line", OBJPROP_WIDTH, 4);

This is for the Monthly S3 pivot. You'll have to change the others accordingly. The "4" at the end is the width - integer value, can be from 1-5.

Regarding DayOfWeek for Monday

if (DayOfWeek()==1);

Hope it helps

PS: I had a link to MQ4 tutorials, but can't find it now. Will post it again.

More a general MT4 question, but are custom lines/points/indicators able to be referenced by code? That is, can I refer to these PP in my code and have them checked against the price, or is it strictly for visual verification/interpretation?

Thanks,
Andrew.

Hi,
Sorry for the extremely late reply ... our country is under going an electricity "upgrade" and "recharge". So, I've taken a week break from my PC and the markets.

Yes, these lines/indicators can be referenced by code.

Concerning the "midnight" change...Are the pivots taking their que off the feed? In other words, whatever time the feed's new day begins, that is when the pivots will "change"?? My feed is GMT +1 (chicago 5pm per VWB Daily) from neuimex.com in Sweeden for MT4.
