Hi.

I'd like to quote pivot support1,2,3 & reｓistance1,2,3 lines.

But I couldn't detect them in IIndicators.(Only "double[][] pivot()"　etc were found.)

Please teach me how to invite them to my strategy.


Thank you.

Hi,
The following code may be helpful:

 double[] pivotValues = indicators.pivot(Instrument.EURUSD, Period.ONE_HOUR , OfferSide.ASK, 5, false, 1);
 console.getOut().println("Central Point (P): " + pivotValues[0]);
 console.getOut().println("Resistance (R1): " + pivotValues[1]);
 console.getOut().println("Support (S1): " + pivotValues[2]);
 console.getOut().println("Resistance (R2): " + pivotValues[3]);
 console.getOut().println("Support (S2): " + pivotValues[4]);
 console.getOut().println("Resistance (R3): " + pivotValues[5]);
 console.getOut().println("Support (S3): " + pivotValues[6]);  

Thank your reply support.

It's presumptuous of me.
I think IIndicators & other API needs to be explained more.

I hope for your job.

Best regards.

Hi Support - hi pivot-user!

Can you please explain, how to calculate Daily Pivot Points.

With using

double[] pivotValues = indicators.pivot(Instrument.EURUSD, Period.ONE_HOUR , OfferSide.ASK, 5, false, 1);

i get an error with Period.DAILY, that hourly is the highest.
And what function has the parameter "timeframe = 5"?

Thanks very much in advance

Hi,
Try the following:

double[] pivotValues = indicators.pivot(Instrument.EURUSD, Period.DAILY, OfferSide.ASK, 7, false, 1);

Hi!

With the new version all items of the return array have the same value???

Is there a way to see the calculation in detail?

And what is the meaning of the "7" (timeperiod) compared to Period.DAILY


Thanks!

Hi,

do we have middle lines of pivot points in indicators list?
I can't find them

I mean S 0.5, 1.5 , 2.5 and R 0.5 , 1.5 , 2.5 ?

If no, why? sometimes is helpful

Thanks!

Hi,

No, they don't, please consider the following code:

double[] pivotValues = indicators.pivot(Instrument.EURUSD, Period.DAILY , OfferSide.ASK, 7, false, 1);
console.getOut().println("Central Point (P): " + pivotValues[0]);
console.getOut().println("Resistance (R1): " + pivotValues[1]);
console.getOut().println("Support (S1): " + pivotValues[2]);
console.getOut().println("Resistance (R2): " + pivotValues[3]);
console.getOut().println("Support (S2): " + pivotValues[4]);
console.getOut().println("Resistance (R3): " + pivotValues[5]);
console.getOut().println("Support (S3): " + pivotValues[6]);  

You can download Pivot indicator source code with JForex Client Library (https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/ ... x/library/)
If you look inside the code you'll see the following:

...
int[] periodValues = new int[10];
String[] periodNames = new String[10];
periodValues[0] = 0;
periodNames[0] = "1 Min";
periodValues[1] = 1;
periodNames[1] = "5 Mins";
...
periodValues[7] = 7;
periodNames[7] = "Daily";
...

7 ("Daily") is the value of Pivot's optional parameter.

just to whom who may concern: as far as I found out is the critical thing the bar offset on mondays:

use tuesday to friday (the API will automaticly use the previous day - so you have to take the active day bar "0"):

double[] pivotValues = indicators.pivot(Instrument.EURUSD, Period.DAILY , OfferSide.ASK, 7, false, 0);

on monday (have to take the saturday-bar - "2"):

double[] pivotValues = indicators.pivot(Instrument.EURUSD, Period.DAILY , OfferSide.ASK, 7, false, 2);

Hi,

I've tried the proposed code:
double[] pivotValues = indicators.pivot(Instrument.EURUSD, Period.DAILY , OfferSide.ASK, 7, false, 1);

but I receive the following error at the compilation:
The method pivot(Instrument, Period, OfferSide, int, int) in the type IIndicators is not applicable for the arguments (Instrument, Period, OfferSide, int, boolean, int)

To note: I've used the Strategytester in the Live Account 'JForex API ver. 2.6.33'

Thanks for your help.
