unimak,
Earlier I saw you reference yearly, monthly, weekly and daily pivots. Later you mentioned only the daily pivot. If the system is stronger using all four, then that is what should be used. As far as coding these- well, it's just simple math as you said earlier.
This does not sound difficult at all for Steve to code. He is however, very peticular about having all the rules in place; in very clear terms, before he begins. I would suggest writing this out completely with the rules you know are best and placing it in post one of this thread.
Steve uses his shell template that has every exit option you could imagine, already in place. This is cool and will be very helpful to us!
I know how Steve works. If he comes to look at this thread (and he will) and sees the first page as it is now, he will leave and not look back. Make sure every rule is clearly stated in the very first post. Having the rules on page 12 will turn off just about everyone that finds your thread.
Be specific about things, for example: When you mention the price "cutting" the pivot- do you mean the price just breaking the pivot, or do you mean a candle close on the opposite side? What timeframe? These things would be very important for anyone trading this system to know...If Steve is left to guess or interpret the rules on his own, he will dump the project immediately and move on to another.
Take a few minutes to rewrite post one. Giving potential readers a thorough breakdown of the system right away will generate much more interest, from trades and programmers alike.
