The premise behind this indicator is to capture the overbought and oversold conditions of CCI, and then draw trend lines on the chart representative of the turning points.
It is designed for Range or Renko charts only.
The lines are drawn in realtime and do not change. They are drawn as soon as a bar closes where the CCI has pivoted to/from an overbought/oversold area, so you get instant feedback.
The idea is the top (resistance / blue) represents the top of the normal trading range. Price will normally bounce off this resistance area and move lower. The bottom (support / red) represents the bottom of the normal trading range. Price will normally bounce off this support area and move higher.
When price does break through either S/R area, it tends to make new highs and lows (ie: breakout).
I'm using this on a 5 minute chart. I am not sure of its usefulness on anything smaller.
You'll need a semi-wide right margin to see the text, or you can edit the indicator itself if you want to adjust that. v-d1..v-d5 just represents how many days back the line represents, I have it set to do a 5-day rolling action now.
All the lines are drawn ahead of time and do not change intraday.
Central Pivot = Black
Support (S1, S2, S3) = Blue
Resistance (R1, R2, R3) = Red
Blue dash lines are the M pivots.
Very accurate daily pivots for MT4. I have been using these for 4 months, and use them on my 1 hour chart.
The only draw back is if your MT4 platform uses Sunday data the pivots on Mondays are off. I am not a coder and unable to change that (I have asked the author to do a version for platforms that use Sunday Data). However the other 4 days very accurate. If your platform does not use Sunday data then the pivots are excellent for all 5 days.
I did not code this but I have asked and been given permission from the author to post these.
Fibonacci Cluster Version 14 for Ninja 7 (April 2010)
Exported using NT Version 7.0.0.17, will not run on NT 6.5
Indicator displays Fibonacci retracements and extensions for intraday and daily charts based on swing highs and lows.
Labels: Fib lines labeled A-E are calculated from 5-day primary swing highs or lows, those labeled S refer to a recent swing high and low of order 2 or 3, those labeled Y and Z are calculated from swing lows and today’s high and low, if applicable. Extensions from highs and lows that have been taken out are labeled X, you will also find additional support and resistance from prior swing highs and lows that have been taken out. An example: “D+ 76.4 (28 Jan)” means that prices touching this line have retraced 76.4% within a Fib retracement defined by the swing high from January 28 and the lowest low between this date and the end of the session of yesterday.
Multiple Lines: All Fib values are rounded to full ticks. If several Fib values are rounded to the same price, the indicator will display “Multiple Fíb” and display the number of Fib lines.
Lookback period: The indicator will only take into account Fib retracements within the look back period of the chart. You can increase or reduce the look back period of the indicator via indicator dialogue.
Filter: The filter can be set to values between 0 and 100. Default setting is 85. If a swing low defining a Fibonacci retracement occurred 100 days ago, all lows during the following 15 days will be ignored, only lows during the last 85% of the 100 day range will be used for Fib retracements. If you do not want to use the filter, you may set it to 100.
Select your lines: The indicator will display quite a number of lines, usually too many to use it for trading. It is therefore recommended to either use the short or the long end of the lookback period. If you want to use the short end, leave all lines A to Z selected, but reduce the lookback period of the indicator to 5 or 10 days. If you want to select the long end, set the lookback period to a minimum of 100 days, but unselect the Y and Z lines.
The Hourly Pivots indicator applies the calculation used for daily floor pivots to intraday time frames. The indicator displays pivots for any selectable period of N minutes. All pivots are calculated from the high, low and close of the prior N-minute period. The pivots can be displayed as floor pivots, wide pivots or Fibonacci pivots. The indicator further plots the pivot range, which is a value area derived from the prior N-minute period.
The default setting of the indicator is 60 minutes. With default settings the indicator will display hourly pivots including the Main Pivot PP, Central Pivot CP, Directional Pivot DP, Pivot Range, R1, R2, R3, R4 S1, S2, S3 and S4. The first period always starts with the daily session break. Depending on the period selected, the last period of the session may terminate before completion. It will not carry over to the first period of the next session.
Pivot range: The pivot range is the range between CP and DP. It is a symmetrical range around the main pivot PP.
Prior high, low and close: The indicator also displays the high, low and close for the prior N-minute period. These levels often act as support or resistance for the consecutive N-minute period.
Pivot formulas:
All options: H = prior day high, L = prior day low, C = prior day close, X = H - L
Main Pivot: P = (H+L+C)/3
Central Pivot: CP = (H+L)/2
Directional Pivot: DP = 2*P - CP
Floor Pivots: P = (H+L+C)/3, R1 = 2*P - L, S1 = 2*P - H, R2 = P + X, S2 = P - X, R3 = R1 + X, S3 = S1 - X, R4 = R3 + (P-L), S4 = S3 - (H-P)
Wide Pivots: P = (H+L+C)/3, R1 = 2*P - L, S1 = 2*P - H, R2 = P + X, S2 = P - X, R3 = R2 + X, S3 = S2 - X, R4 = R3 + X, S4 = S3 - X
Fibonacci Pivots: R1 = P + 0.382*X, S1 = P - 0.382*X, R2 = P + 0.618*X, S2 = P - 0.618*X, R3 = P + X, S3 = P - X, R4 = P + 1.382*X, S4 = P - 1.382*X
The indicator calculates pivots from any selectable period of N minutes. The first period starts with the session break. Depending on the indicator period selected the last period of the session can be an odd period. The pivots of the first period will not be calculated from the odd period, but from the full period deducted from the session break.
The default setting of the indicator is 60 minutes. With default settings the indicator will display hourly pivots including the main pivot PP, R1, R2, S1 and S2. Further levels can be added as an option.
The indicator is an easy to understand example of a multitimeframe indicator, as it loads a secondary bar series of 1-min bars, which is used to calculate the intraday pivots. The pivots will therefore always be calculated from a period of N minutes, not depending on the primary bars shown on the chart. If set to COBC = false, the pivot lines may show sligthly earlier, if applied to fast bars plotting during the first minute of the session.
Update January 21, 2012: Pivot range added. The pivots can now be aligned to the start of the trading day or the start of each session as per session template.
Update January 22, 2012: Bug removed. Please reinstall indicator.
Update February 23, 2014: The indicator did not work with datafeeds that do not plot a bar every minute during periods of lesser liquidity. Changed the architecture of the indicator and recoded it entirely.
Update April 28, 2018: The indicator was modified to allow for display of 1-minute pivots.
This indie looks at yesterdays High and Low and todays High and Low. It paints yesterdays High and Low on todays chart, as well as the mid and RMS values of yesterdays High and Low. The RMS values are estimated as 70.7% and 29.3% for a sine wave. It also paints todays High and Low. These values can be interesting turning points. All levels are labeled in the right side margin (I recommend a margin of 100). I posted a similar indie in NT7 called Pivots Plus that was very popular . This one does not have the pivots included, you can add that to the chart. This one does have a button to hide the indie if you want to declutter your chart.
Here is the wiki definition of RMS...
In mathematics and its applications, the root mean square (RMS or rms) is defined as the square root of the mean square (the arithmetic mean of the squares of a set of numbers).[1] The RMS is also known as the quadratic mean[2][3] and is a particular case of the generalized mean with exponent 2. RMS can also be defined for a continuously varying function in terms of an integral of the squares of the instantaneous values during a cycle.
