Pivots Alerts on Radar Screen

Recommended Posts

I daytrade and I use 144 tick chart on the radar screen, I was just wondering if there is such a alert that I can set up in the radar screen that monitors stocks' pivots and gives you alerts like AAPL broke R1 or like AAPL reversing from R1, things like that.

It sounds like you are using floor pivots but there are others such as Camarilla and DeMark. I do use Radarscreen with pivots but it is for use with Forex. I don't have specific alerts for when price breaks a pivot level but I do have colour changes on the background when price gets close to a pivot level. For me I have daily, weekly and monthly time frames using Floor, Camarilla and DeMark Pivots. I look for a confluence of pivots and then use price action to take a trade.

 

Here is a screenshot of my RS set up.

I am sure it has been done already, tho I haven't seen it...

 

if you can write the spec... and make a screen mock up (with notes), I am sure something can be arranged.

Hey Paul, I do use floor pivots on the radar screen, however I don't see anywhere I can adjust the backgound colors when the price gets close, what indicator are you using? do you mind sharing it with me, thanks in advance..

The background colours are a line of code when price approaches the pivot point. I wrote the indicator myself but it is specific to how I use them. I will take another look at it and see what changes may be needed to make it easier for others to use. I only use R1, PP and S1 for floor pivots and I know others use R2 and S2 as well.

here is a screenshot of my radar screen, is there a way to add alerts to my pivots when the price cross or near. I also attached the floor trader eld that I use, can anyone help?below is the pivots indicator that I use, any programmer out there can assists?

Applies to daily, intra-day, and tick bar charts only.

 

Plots lines at floor trader pivot levels, based on the following formulae:

 

Resistance Level 3 = R3 = R2 + YestHigh - YestLow

Resistance Level 2 = R2 = PP + YestHigh - YestLow

Resistance Level 1 = R1 = PP * 2 - YestLow

PivotPoint = PP = ( YestHigh + YestLow + YestClose ) / 3

Support Level 1 = S1 = PP * 2 - YestHigh

Support Level 2 = S2 = PP - YestHigh + YestLow

Support Level 3 = S3 = S2 - YestHigh + YestLow

 

Input specifies whether R3 and S3 are plotted in addition to the 5 lines at PP, S1,

S2, R1, and R2.

}

Plot_5or7( 5 ) ; { if 7, adds plots for S3 and R3 to other 5 lines }

is there a way to add alerts to my pivots when the price cross or near.

 

Hi Ed

 

To do Alerts on a break of a pivot you would need to add these two lines to each pivot :

 

If Close crosses above PP then Alert( Getsymbolname +" crossed above PP");

If Close crosses below PP then Alert( Getsymbolname +" crossed below PP");

 

As for price getting near a pivot... well you would have to define "near" in terms of ticks then create a threshold around each pivot.... for example

 

Inputs:

Threshold (5);

 

Vars:

mintick(0),PPuppthresh(0),PPlwrthresh(0);

 

Mintick = minmove/pricescale;

 

PPuppthresh = PP + (Threshold*mintick);

PPlwrthresh = PP - (Threshold*mintick);

 

Then you would insert the two alert lines like shown above but change the setting to the threshold...

 

If Close crosses above PPlwrthresh then Alert( Getsymbolname +" just under PP");

If Close crosses below PPuppthresh then Alert( Getsymbolname +" just above PP");

 

.... and again, repeat for every pivot.

 

 

This should get you on your way.

 

Hope this helps

Depending if you run your code intrabar or on closed tick of bar, you may need to use a slightly different code.

 

If intrabar then use code in my last post or if used on closed tick of a bar use something like this :

 

 

Condition1 = Close crosses above PP;

 

If Condition1 then Alert( Getsymbolname +" crossed above PP");

 

Condition2 = Close crosses below PP;

 

If Condition2 then Alert( Getsymbolname +" crossed below PP");

 

Condition3 = Close crosses above PPlwrthresh;

 

If Condition3 and Condition1 = false then Alert( Getsymbolname +" just under PP");

 

Condition4 = Close crosses below PPuppthresh;

 

If Condition4 and Condition2 = false then Alert( Getsymbolname +" just above PP");

 

 

This would eliminate getting alerts of " just under PP" and "crossed above PP" on the same bar.

 

Hope this helps

Blu Ray , thanks for the quick reply, I really appreciate your hard work, I ran my code intrabar, I added the code you discribe, the alert on the cross is fine, but the near does not seems to be working, 5 ticks above and below should be fine, here is what I did, can you see where the errors at, thanks again...

ed16888,

 

Blu Ray has a much better understanding of your coding needs than I do as I am not that experienced in it. Also you are using a later version of TS than I am which would also makes it more difficult for coding your needs

 

Good Luck.

 

 

Paul

I've tested it and it works fine for me, the only thing I can think of is that you've set your inputs to 6 ticks away instead of 5.

 

Cheers

    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
