Knowing the current Pivot level

[leinster]

Hi,

Writing strategies over here but does anyone have a snippet that shows the current market price and where on the pivot it is.

Say for instance i wanna set a profit target for a pivot i insert something like the following:
if (CrossAbove(Median, Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData, 20).R3, 1))
{
ExitLong("", "");
}

So if i wanna know the current daily pivot so i can make this more dynamic ?

leinster, you can get the current market price with Close[0]. The code you posted would be correct for getting the current day's R3 pivot level. You can substitute in R2, R1, PP, S1, S2, or S3 for the other pivot levels. Sorry if I misunderstood your question - if so, please let me know.

Question

Hi,

I think you misunderstand me.


For instance if the price is 100 and the Pivot R1 is 110 and PP = 85 how can i tell which is the Pivot we are closest to.

IE: i need to know current price based on what pivot are we closest too upwards and downwards. Its for a stop strategy...

Many thanks

leinster, you would need to take the difference by comparing your levels to the Close[0] - then you know which level is currently the closest, returning the smallest difference to the last traded price.
