Harry:
Here are some answers to questions/comments:
Regarding data provider:
I use zenfire data from Mirus futures. Since Zenfire doesn't provide daily data and I've selected "daily bars" in the CMI v6 pivot indicator settings, I'm not sure how the pivots are calculating. Without true daily data, my pivots are probably "false pivots", but I don't want to change them or delete them because they match the pivots that others have and they usually provide great support/resistance, which is the whole point of having them on the chart. However, the pivots are a few ticks off from chart to chart...sometimes up to 10 ticks off. BTW...I trade ES, CL, GC, 6A and 6B... On Friday, GC came down and bounced hard right off of S1... it was beautiful. See screenshot... http://screencast.com/t/MGU3YzY1YWYt
Regarding the lookback period on the format data series chart settings:
I have tried increasing the chart lookback period in the morning when I get the error message but that doesn't take away that message that I'm getting. I've tried reloading the historical data, increasing the lookback period, reloading the ninjascript but nothing gets rid of the message. I think the message about "not enough data to calulate pivots" has to do with the fact that I'm leaving the charts on live data starting around 5:30pm EST and they stay on over midnight and are on live data when I wake up around 5:00am EST. I'm pretty sure that leaving the charts on live data when the day changes at midnight has something to do with the problem. The fact that I only get this message when I wake up in the morning supports this idea.
Regarding CMI Pivots Version 6 vs Version 8.1:
I think you are saying that version 8.1 of the indicator wouldn't allow me to calculate the pivots using the daily bars with my zenfire data but instead would give me an error message. Am I understanding that correctly? I would be interested in a version 8.2 of the indicator that allows the false pivots which is apparently what I have now (even though they seem to be real). Let me know if I'm understanding that correctly.
If I upgrade to V8.1 or V8.2 do you think it will get rid of this daily morning message? That's really the issue I'm trying to solve. Are there other reasons to upgrade from V6 to 8.1 or 8.2?
Regarding charts not loading when I connect to zenfire data:
I noticed in another thread that you mentioned issues with charts loading. One of the key reasons that I don't want to restart ninja in the morning is because I often have to restart ninja and reconnect to zenfire data 3 or 4 times to get all of the charts to load once I've connected. Usually when I first restart ninja and connect to zenfire some of the charts will load but others will be blank... in fact, I use chart trader and in the blank charts I can still see the bid and the ask moving but nothing shows on the chart. So I'm forced to close ninja and try again... It's frustrating. I don't know if this is related to the pivot issue or not but I thought I would mention it.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and the help provided..
