I use Daily timeframe to calculate "Daily Pivot Point" - which is the same over all time frames. I dont use this method anymore though. I trade the hourly timeframe anyway reguardless of my method. Your timeframe should reflect your trading prefrence- If u scalp you would want short timeframe-Swing Traders like longer timeframes -who knows whats better?

Ok then. No matter what is said on this forum,there will always be different opinions and ideas. Its what makes this forum so useful. If "PivotPoints" are calculated using yesterdays High/Low/Close on Daily timeframe to predict the current (todays most likely PivotPoint) ,that PivotPoint will remain the same throughout that trading day(session). The PP will be the same thru out all timeframes from Dailies on down. The traditional calculation for PP is (High+Low+Close/3)=PP These 3 prices are taken off yesterdays session to predict present PP. Of course,anyone is free to interpret their own version but what I wrote WAS the traditional method of PP calculation.Maybe its changed since yesterday? Anyway, happy trading and best of luck.( I did not have any luck with PP trading BTW)
