I guess if one does not provide clear buy/sell signal rules with something, that this is not enough for some people...

Sorry for obviously being stupid(?) all I wanted to know was which specific cells I change as the spreadsheet is laid out with a 'summary' page but not clearly with a data entry page. I am guessing it is the middle figures between the r/s results but I thought I'd confirm. I.e. am I putting in the last hours high/low/close, yesterdays.. this weeks, last weeks?

Come on, give me a break - I'm not looking for a handout, just help in using the thing.

a few simple pointers for all...
-- ask "stupid" questions and people will bend over backwards to help you
-- ask specific questions and you will get specific answers
-- ask general questions and you will get general answers
-- ask lazy questions and you will get lazy answers
-- ask blanket questions and you might not get any answers at all...


The user must have a basic operating knowledge of a spreadsheet to use a spreadsheet...
beside the user's manual, there are lots of free tutorials on the web.


if you click on a cell and see formulas in it... it is not meant for input.

Pivots are calculated with High, Low and Close prices.
Daily Pivots are calculated with daily High, Low and Close prices.
Weekly Pivots are calculated with weeklyHigh, Low and Close prices.
Monthly Pivots are calculated with monthlyHigh, Low and Close prices.

Yes, simply plug in those prices and you will get your respective pivots.

Don't be afraid to experiment, if you ruin the spreadsheet, just download another copy.

My father is an old man with limited education. If he can learn computers, I am sure the people who are smart enough to trader can also.



enjoy!

Why didn't you ask that then? Instead all you asked was: "Still no one giving basic guidance on how to use the spreadsheet...? Think I'm the 3rd person to ask, thanks... "

How would anyone be able to deduct from this what you really are looking for? If you want a specific question answered, this is would be better if you actually ask the specific question and not expect people to guess what you really are asking.

Perhaps if you'd read the thread you would realize that all I was doing was following questions/posts #8 and #11 as no one seemed to have bothered themselves to help those guys. Do I really deserve a lot of snide abuse? Great forum, shame the key objective seems to be massaging your own ego's and showing off rather than helping those less experienced - whether with spreadsheets or trading in general.

I was only giving you helpful suggestions on how to get questions answered. The only snide remarks are yours. If you look at the posts you referenced, you'll see that they both are of the general type of "how do you use this". This is such a vague question that can have 100's of answers and you expect someone to guess what it is you really look for. Probably why they weren't answered. This is not even clear from the question if the person asking the question even know how to use Excel and I doubt many people here are interested in teaching someone how to use Excel.

Asking the same vague question 3 times is not going to get it answered. Specific questions might. On the other hand, insulting the forum you are asking questions in in your 4th post, is probably not going get you much help either.
