Hello,

I use the attached MC code to calculate the daily pivot points automatically. This calculation works very well when the session starts and ends in the same day (as an example, for futures on CAC40 (FCE), which opens at 8.00 am and closes at 10.00 pm in the same day). But for futures such as crude oil (CL), which opens at 6.00 pm and closes at 5.15 pm the next day, the automatic pivot points calculation does not work.
I would like to request your help to modify this code to take into account futures contracts whose session spreads on two days.

Thank you in advance for your help
Best regards,

Chloe

Plotting overnight high/low, that is a similar concept as they span two days, has been discussed before. Just search the forum for the examples and you should be able to adjust your code.

btw, I've noticed looking at your previous posts that the only time you post is when you need help installing, or modifying indicators. Everyone needs help sometimes, but forums are about give and take, not just about taking.

what sevensa said. I think the thread was called plotting globex highs and lows. Several interesting techniques where presented.

Hello Sevensa,

I am realy sorry, but I am not very good at programming and my knowledge of the Easylanguage is limited. Therefore, it is very hard for me to provide help on the forum when people ask question related to coding. If I can help, I do it with great pleasure.

You wrote: " I've noticed looking at your previous posts that the only time you post is when you need help installing, or modifying indicators". I am sorry, but please look at my previous post again ! I posted two codes in the file TTM anchor, so I do not post only when I need help.

what Sevensa said was, this is a community... don't treat people like your personal tech support. Don't just come here when you needed help, and disappear when you are done. Everybody has something to offer, even the newest newbie... nobody asks you to share something that you are not good at (eg EL)... but how about some TA insight? or what is your rationale for trying to achieve what you want to do? Many people on this forum are long term consistently profitable traders, I don't think we "need" your "grail". We are more interested in helping traders to move up on their own ladder. The best way to solicite "help" is to have a dialog... without disrespect, I can tell you, 99% of the "help request" leads to nowhere; people are either analyzing the wrong thing, of putting too much energy on deciphering something that gives very little high quality trading signals, or something that gives lots of low quality trading signals. If you see people asking a seemingly simple technical question, but nobody bothers to answer... that's not because we are too snobbish to answer... but because we don't want to waste your time...

Hello Tams,

I really do not understand why you are so agressive against me: "Don't just come here when you needed help, and disappear when you are done". I come on this forum each day, not only when I need help. Last week, a member of this forum sent a mail to me to request help to install the TTM anchor. I tried to help him as much as possible, so I think i offer my help in that case.

what is your rationale for trying to achieve what you want to do ? I trade CL, ES, YM, FCE with pivots point approach. I discovered that the code I used to calculate the pivot points was wrong with futures contracts whose session spread on two days. So, I would like to modify this code in order to have a good calculation of the pivot points, which I use for my daily trading.

The best way to solicite "help" is to have a dialog... without disrespect. I fully agree with you Tams. So, what do I have to do to silicite your hep ?

Thank you in advance

Best regards
Chloe

nah... i am not aggressive against you... i have no need to
if my message was directed to you alone, i would have quoted you in my post.
this is a general message... it is the idea of community that i want to convey... a continuation of what sevensa was trying to say.

I like to help people who want to help themselves...
not everyone like my style, which is fine with me and fine with them.

i realize not everybody can think in terms of programming languages,
i would code for people who absolutely cannot code.
but before we get into coding, I would like to see what you have tried...


(ps. if I were to hand it to you without your participation, I would have to charge you for it, wouldn't I?)
