Pivot indicator

[mballagan]

I'm creating my own pivots indicator and use the following line to draw the daily pivot value in OnBarUpdate()

DrawLine("PP",true,startline,pp,0,pp,Color.Red,DashStyle.Dash,1);

where startline = first bar of the session

pp = daily pivot value

The line seems to be extending back further than the current session, how can I fix this so that the line starts from the current session only?

You will need to print out what your startline parameter is and debug it to get it to the correct value to reach the first bar of the session.

drawline error

The error was the parameter startline stored the currentbar value at the starpoint (session break) but in terms of bars ago from current bar 0 this is currentbar - startline.

DrawLine("PP",true,CurrentBar-startline,pp,0,pp,Color.Red,DashStyle.Dash,1);

Not sure what you mean. What error are you receiving?

line error

Sorry I mean the error is now fixed as I was using the wrong start point value for the line so the above code [currentbar-startline] is the fixed version.

I have attached an image showing the indicator displaying daily pivot values for the current session. How do I alter the display so that all the price bars are shown but the pivots far from the price do not need to be displayed so the price action is not 'squashed' as shown in the image?

Please try setting AutoScale (second DrawLine input) to false.
