Daily pivot point calc problem

Using the Daily pivot point study, Midtrading day today My pivots are incorrect by 2 pts apx. I am referencing an accurate daily chart when this error occurs. If I manually enter the O-H-L-C for yesterdays daily bar (using data from my daily chart)into the study then the pivots are correct.
I tested manual entry using todays daily bar (day not complete), this also yields the Pivots that are in error. Thus the Pivot study is using the last still-forming bar for the OHLC data. I assumed the pivot study would use yesterdays official closed daily bar.
Using todays bar is not what I expected.

Any help appreciated

Refer to the following help topic:

Re-download the data in the Historical daily chart being referenced by selecting Edit >>Delete All Data and Download.

Also check the Pivot Points formula being used.

I did the delete and download just now. No difference in pivot calc. I had already checked the accuracy of yesterdays daily bar against MyPivots site. The formula selected makes only a minor difference and as I said the calculation is correct if I manually input yesterdays daily OHLC.

Not sure. We would have to test your Chartbook and see. Might be a good idea to wait until the next trading day and still see if you see the problem.

To provide us a Chartbook, it should only contain 2 charts that are being used. Follow these instructions:

Also try re-downloading the last few days of data in the Intraday chart itself . Let us know if you need instructions for this.
