I can`t get the pivots for the FDAX today.

The message states "insufficient historical data, increase lookback period". I`ve tried reloading historical data & making a new chart, neither helped.

The lookback period is set to 60 days by default.

pinballmad, have you set to calculate those from daily or intraday data in the properties?

It`s set whatever the default is and it was working fine for some time until today.

Which instrument / connection / contract expiry are you using? Today is rollover for many popular index futures...

FDAX 12-09 with Zen-fire, but I don`t understand what do the pivots have to do with that.

The pivots appeared finally around 11am

If you used the new March contract you could have into too less historical data issues, disregard as you're on the 12-09 still.

Checked mine out here on FDAX 5 min chart, 15 days back of history default width settings - at this point in time they would start plotting shortly after 10:00 Berlin time, to make the plot start earlier in the day, please use a higher width setting.
