I have a newbie question. How do you load the indicators in the dealbook platform. I know how to load MT4 indicators in the SBFX platform but don't have any experience with doing that in dealbook?

Thank you very much for the code. I was looking for that everywhere.

Maybe I am asking something a little difficult but, well anyways. is there a way we can put a price label on the lines?

sorry if I could cause any inconvinience

Thanks to all the members of this forum especially from this thread for all the effort and desire in open a thread concerning about GFT dealbook.

Oeps,

Just saw a mistake.

The fib levels are on the 24 EMA instead of the 28.
Here is the correct version!

/* This indicator plots pivot points based on Peter Bain's 9 pivot point Calculations */

/* Designed on Chart Studio for use on GFT's DealbookFX2 trading platform.*/
/* Install using Chart Studio. After installing it, add it to your charts via the*/
/* "Setup Indicators" button...the red squiggle with the pointing hand over it. */
/* You also have to UNCHECK the box "add the indicator into a new window", as you */
/* want it to overlay your price chart. (Do not use right-click-->"add studies" as */
/* this will place the plot in a window below the price chart and will be useless.) */
/* You may need to restart Dealbook before using the installed indicator */
 
/* It has one input, and that is the hour that you want it to use as the start and*/
/* end of your 24hour calculation. The default is 21, as that is what works for me to*/
/* calculate the pivot points on midnight New York. You may need to tweek it to get it*/
/* to calculate for your preferred 24 hours (just look at the hour on which the pivot */
/* lines change, but keep in mind Dealbook uses GMT on the charts.) The plot colors */
/* are random, you will need to adjust them to your preference. */
 
/* If you then save your layout, your charts will be all set-up whenever you restart */
/* DealbookFX. If you right click anywhere, the labels at the top will correspond to */
/* the pivots for that day that you clicked on. Since it does not lable the lines as */
/* PP, R1, M1, etc, I use color codes and line weights to help me remember which line */
/* I'm looking at.*/
 
/* I have found it to work reliably on the 1-hour and on 15-minute charts that I use. */
/* It might work in some other chart intervals, but I dont use them much. It should */
/* work reliably on the 5, 10, 20, and 30 minute charts as well. It does not work*/
/* on the 1 minute (need a whole days data) nor consistently on the 2 and 4-hour charts.*/
/* It does not plot for the first partial and first whole day, as it needs a whole*/
/* days data to accurately find the HLC to calculate the Pivots for the next day. */ 
 
/* Two, perhaps, anomalies are on the calculations for Sunday's and Monday's */
/* Pivots. For Sunday it will continue to use Friday's Pivots. Monday's */
/* Pivots are calculated from 2100 Thursday thru 2100 Sunday (or whatever hour you*/
/* use). The indicator still Plots lines, but some people use a different time-frame */
/* to calculate the Sunday and Monday Pivots, and Peter Bain doesn't trade on Monday */
/* so I haven't had any numbers to compare the calculations. The Monday pivots SEEM */
/* to make sense, but I am just not sure of the value of them. The Tuesday thru */
/* Friday Plots have consistantly been in line with the numbers that Peter Bain posts */
/* on his website. Due to the simplicity of this program, I will not alter it to */
/* calculate a different window for Sunday or Monday. */
 
/* Another small quirk I noticed is that on some currancies it will show the Pivot*/
/* values as calculated out to more decimal places than the normally used...ie, for */
/* USDJPY it may show in the legend the PP value as 105.5633, but will plot correctly */
/* at the rounded amount of 105.56, as the traded unit is only carried to 2 decimal */
/* places. There is a setting in Dealbook to adjust how many decimal places are */
/* displayed on the legend, if this is an issue for you. */
 
/* All that said, use this indicator at your own risk...or benefit. I won't take any */

/* way. I won't take responsibility for calculation errors, but email me if you find */
