I am interested in getting an alert for a stock when  the real-time current price equals or crosses the daily pivot, S1, S2, S3, R1, R2, or R3.  Is there code that I can use for this?    If I create a PCF for pivot points, I assume that it would have to be on a daily?  but then how do I make a PCF that would use, for example, the closing price on a 1minute bar?  Thanks

You should be able to click on the name of the Pivot Points indicator at the top of the price pane and elect Set Alert. Then choose the desired alert in the Price History vs Pivot Points section of the Condition drop-down menu in the Create Alert window.

Thanks Bruce.  Is there a way to create a condition for price crossing daily pivot on a 5 minute timeframe?  For example, I would like to be able to run a scan using a 5 minute timeframe which would show all stocks in MyFavorites that are crossing up or down across  the daily pivot.   Thanks!

The described technique should in fact work on a 5-minute chart. The pivot point indicator on intraday charts calculates it values based on the prices of the previous trading day (it is a "daily pivot").
