Pivot Points on Tradestation

Discussion in 'Strategy Building' started by tampatrader82, Jun 16, 2008.

  1. Does anyone have a Pivot Point indicator for Tradestation. IE R1, R2, R3, S1, S2, S3?

    I figure its worth a shot that someone might want to share the wealth!

  3. Great thanks a lot. Will this work for equities or just futures like the webpage talks about?

    Thanks again. TPA

    It will work for anything that has a high, low and close.
    If you search there are many other pivot indicators around, I just recommended that one as it uses settlement price rather than last for the close.
     
  5. Great I will check it out. I appreciate it.

  6. It's already in the TradeStation platform - called FloorTraderPivots in the indicator library.
