I'd like to plot pivot points on charts. I know I can create a customer indicator that will plot the pivot prices based on daily prices (last hi, lo & close). I want to plot pivot points for longer time frame prices, i.e. weekly and monthly. I've got extensive programming experience in non-windoze platforms. And I've already come up with a process to export TC2000 data into a text file and process that data with a perl script to give me the weekly and monthly pivot price points. I’d like to be able to plot these pivot points automatically onto the charts. Perhaps this can be done in SnapSheets. I’ve not had the time yet to explore this. I have no problem exploring the coding possibilities, I just want to know if this can be implemented.

Thanks
Bill

With your coding capabilities, I have no doubt.

Check out this video:

Hello World! Writing Code Blocks for SnapSheets in Visual Basic.NET

I am confident you can create the Block (or Blocks) needed to do your plotting.

Thanks Craig,
Sounds like its time to dive into SnapSheets. I’m anxious to get started.

Let me know if you need any help... I've been swimming for months now and still learning new strokes every day.

Craig,
Can Snapsheets only be used while connected to the net?

It does but you lose all access to the fundamental feed and the web libraries.

I think I understand. I guess my main question or concern is will I have the capability to write and test code blocks for SnapSheets while I'm "offline" . Will the absense of web libraries prohibit this. I do most of my work on a laptop while on the train.

Thanks.

Yes. Save a SnapSheet in on your computer (so you don't have to open Personal Chartist from the Web Library) and you should be set.

Hi, was wondering if you had any luck programming the Pivot Points into Snapsheets?? I have done it on Telechart but the Telechart looks at weekly bars as the last 5 rolling days and monthly as the last 20 rolling days. Snapsheets looks at weekly as M-F periods and monthly as a calendar month which is exactly what I am seeking (and probably the same for you).

I cannot figure out how to place the pivot points into Snapsheets however. Any help or progress would be much appreciated. My friend said he was going to Tradestation where they are part of the canned package but I hate to do that when I have such a long history with Telecharts and really prefer them at this time.

Thanks

netedge,
It is generally best to confine your related questions to a single topic. You may wish to review the following:
