Help with coding pivot levels to swap time from GMT
You probably have to rewrite the code to work on H1 (hourly) basis instead of D1, that's not easily done especially when the chart runs on a different timeframe.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help.
I have code for a daily pivot level indicator, it works fine but I have a uk broker
the pivots are drawn from 00:00 GMT and I would like them to be drawn from 22:00 GMT, does anyone know how best I do this?
I assume I just change the defined start time but I have no idea how to do this, I can provide the code if needed.
kind regards,
josh
For MT4 / MT5 ?
For MT5, there were some nice ones ready made on MT4 but unfortunately I have to use MT5

we have been given one from work but it has diagonal connecting lines between each days pivots (hopefully that makes sense) and it just makes the charts look messy and cluttered
unfortunately the code is hidden on it so I was unable to change this
the one at work has an option to change the start hour (I set it to -2), so I assume this is what you mean

Here is what ive got so far, im just unable how to work out the time shift or if I need to add some code

Nice . Try this one , i got a little confused in the day change part because of no sleep -not for this code- in the Change function , so i commented it out .

Also ,redundant passes occur in the live bar as 2 fellow coders will point out in the near future :) [_]o cheers
