Pivots Alerts on Radar Screen

[ed16888 10]

Does anybody out there has a pivots alert indicator that works on the radar screen that alerts you when a stock breaks a pivots level or reversal on a pivots level? thanks in advance.

[Trader333 10]

What pivots are you wanting to be alerted to and in what time frame ?

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.

[Trader333 10]

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.

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 }

processed and chart bar interval is daily, intra-day, or tick bar then plot }

I am using RS2000i so you have a more up to date version than I do and the code looks different but I will see what I can do.

Thanks Paul, I really appeciated.

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.

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.
