I have been using Divergences in my system for some time now, successfully, but have had to run manually on BC, so I am happy to read up on the interest that has come about them recently in this forum.
Now I am trying to see if it is possibly to convert this code to BC, which is with pivot points.
Analysists or experienced traders talking about an equity price nearing a certain http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/support.asp - support or http://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/resistance.asp - resistance level, each of which is important because it represents a point at which a major price movement is expected to occur. Well they come up with these levels using http://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/pivotpoint.asp - pivot points , and there are several different methods for calculating pivot points which I a follow.

Below is a code of an Expansion Pivot, and I am hoping that someone of you BC script buffs, would be able to complete the conversion to BC to see if it would work successfully showing the significant price movements.
Ps: The code shown is Long only. If it can be converted and works, then the Short would be easy to add.

Thanks in Regards to any Help!!

Hi Spike,

I converted it and colored the signals to distinguish buys from sells.

Cheers!

Maximo, thanks for your time converting the Pivot code for me. I'll have a closer look at what it may give and play with it a bit.

Cheers___!!!
