Metatrader Pivot Point Indicators
All very well but the vast majority of freely available pivot systems for Metatrader contain errors.
In my experience I’ve seen the following problems:-
– Errors in pivot formulas
– No capability for variable pivot calculation
– No consideration for Sunday data inclusion or exclusion from different brokers (hence the compressed Monday pivots people always comment on)
– No alert capability
– No trade defined graphics options to shift labels, change colours, extend or shorten lines
– No visibility control
I could go on…. and on. If you want to see how bad some of the systems can be check out http://www.fxalgotrader.com and search for Free Vs Paid for Pivots. Some of the freeby pivots packages are out by nearly 20 pips on deep pivots such as S3 and R3. You get what you pay for in this world – generally speaking.
yes, very good.
