Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Pivot Point formula help
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Hi all,

Please find below the formula for the monthly pivot point plotted on daily charts.

F:=PeakBars(1,Zig(DayOfMonth(),1,$),1)=0 OR
Cum(1)=LastValue(Cum(1));
M:=ValueWhen(2,1,F);
Hm:=ValueWhen(1,F,HighestSince(1,M,H));
Lm:=ValueWhen(1,F,LowestSince(1,M,L));
Cm:=ValueWhen(1,F,C);
Om:=ValueWhen(1,F,ValueWhen(1,M,O));
Om:=ValueWhen(1,Om>0,Om);
Hm:=ValueWhen(1,Hm>0,Hm);
Lm:=ValueWhen(1,Lm>0,Lm);

x:=Hm;
y:=Lm;

(x+y+Cm)/3+x-y;
(x+y+Cm)/3*2-y;

(x+y+Cm)/3*2-x;
(x+y+Cm)/3-x+y;

This would then be plotted over the security's prices as an indicator, but invisible. I would then plot another indicator over the pivot points. This indicator will do the following and that is where I'll need your assistance.

It would take the pivot point values from the last trading day of the month and plots them on the following month's trading days.

For example, if the pivot points(remember it's invisible) on a particular stock for 31/05/2006(last trading day for May) are 45.00, 42.00, 33.00, and 29.00, these same values will be plotted daily for the entire June 2006's trading days; thus, forming four horizontal parallel lines. And then the four pivot point values(invisible) for June 30, 2006(last trading day for the month) will be plotted for the entire July 2006's trading days. The cycle will continue for all subsequent months.
I hope it's not too confusing and thanks in advance for any assistance.

Firstly, note that there is no need to nest a ZigZag() function inside the PeakBars() function for the (pioneered by MetaStockTools [dot] com) end-of-month trick:

monthEnd:=PeakBars(1,DayOfMonth(),1)=0
OR Cum(1)=LastValue(Cum(1));

Next, your original monthly formula plots incorrect pivot levels on the last day of month - it plots next month's pivots in hindsight.

This indicator will plot the correct monthly pivot levels:

If I understand your question correctly, the above indicator does away with the need for referencing the original (erroneous) pivots and plotting two indicators.
