To get perfect pivots calculated with proper settlement price on weekly and monthly periods, I use "Pivot Points-Variable Period" indicator on a daily chart. I set "Time Period Type" on "Weeks" and "Months" on two instance of the study on daily chart. Pivots are perfectly calculated. (see attached image for setting of the indicator for Weekly pivots). That daily chart update interval is set to a low number: of 1000 milliseconds. Then I use the "Study/Price overlay" to add it to intraday charts (image of settings attached): - 5mn (update interval 1 second) - 60 mn (update interval 5 second) - 500 ticks (update interval 80ms) - 250 ticks(update interval 80ms) - 100 ticks(update interval 80ms) I notice that there is a considerable increase of CPU usage with these studies used in such way. I'm a bit surprised because they are relatively simple studies. This is a question for Sierra Chart engineer: wouldn't you have a way to make the "Pivot Points-Variable Period" study less resource intensive at the code level? |
