HowTo Determine then Barnumber of a Pivot

[jojojo 10]

Hi Coders

small question :

How can I exactly determine the barnumber of a certain pivot ?

If there's any existing code example for TS please let me know.

 

Thanks

don't know what exactly do you mean...

 

what is your interpretation of "pivot"?

 

can you draw a picture to illustrate your point?

Have you looked at SwingHighBar, SwingLowBar functions ?

[jojojo 10]

SwingHiBar does not really help , here s a pic with a ZZ , barnumbers and corresponding ticks.How can I accumulate the ticks from one pivot to the next?

jojo,

 

if it's not too much trouble could you change the background color and upsize the font a bit and repost the png

 

what are the ovals? pivots? third, fourth and sixth don't seem to be pivots...

[jojojo 10]

the ovals are the pivotpoints the ZZ calculated , I do not mean classical pivots like H+L+C/3 or that stuff - maybe better call it swingstart/end - points or similar.........

jojo,

 

Thanks.

 

Getting ready to leave now so will have to be brief

Are you using ZigZagFibs v 2.5?

If so, you could probably ask StratMan or Suri which arrays are holding the bar numbers of the pivots. Since zz's don't register until right strength met, you would probably need to be holding the values of what you want summed in an array so you could 'go back' and start at the right place, catch up your sum, then proceed real time.

Hi

 

Here is ZigZag Fib 2.0

 

Sorry but I've lost the 2.5 release in a BU... :crap:

 

If someone has it, he could share it...

Jojojo, here's a small Tradestation program that calculates the bar number for a swing high or low and prints the number above/below the swing.

 

It first determines how many bars ago the swing occured, then subtracts that from the current bar number to determine the bar number of the swing. The bottom of the program simply prints the number on the chart.

 

Inputs:

SwingStrength(5);

 

Variables:

SwingHiBarsAgo(0),

SwingLoBarsAgo(0),

SwingHiBarNum(0),

SwingLoBarNum(0);

 

SwingHiBarsAgo = SwingHighBar(1, high, SwingStrength, SwingStrength+1) ;

 

if SwingHiBarsAgo <> -1 then begin

SwingHiBarNum = CurrentBar - SwingHiBarsAgo ;

//You can add code here to store the bar number in an array, or do whatever other calculations you need

end ;

 

SwingLoBarsAgo = SwingLowBar(1, Low, SwingStrength, SwingStrength+1) ;

 

if SwingLoBarsAgo <> -1 then begin

SwingLoBarNum = CurrentBar - SwingLoBarsAgo ;

//You can add code here to store the bar number in an array, or do whatever other calculations you need

end ;

 

Variables:

TextSwingHi(0),

TextSwingLo(0);

 

if SwingHiBarsAgo <> -1 then begin

TextSwingHi = Text_New(date[swingHiBarsAgo], time[swingHiBarsAgo], High[swingHiBarsAgo], NumToStr(SwingHiBarNum,0)) ;

Text_SetStyle(TextSwingHi, 2, 1) ;

end ;

 

if SwingLoBarsAgo <> -1 then begin

TextSwingLo = Text_New(date[swingLoBarsAgo], time[swingLoBarsAgo], Low[swingLoBarsAgo], NumToStr(SwingLoBarNum, 0)) ;

Text_SetStyle(TextSwingLo, 2, 0) ;

end ;
