Has anyone done a script for Wyatts Pivots? Waynes Pivots on Tradeview is about the same thing.
Here is the link https://www.tradingview.com/script/ad0JJQkX-Wayne-s-Pivots/

I have seen Wayne Mcdonnel use these for many years. He is on Youtube every morning Forex.today teaching people how to trade. Waynes Pivots are the best I have seen.

Here is a link to an old version of Wyatts Pivots https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/538297-the-best-pivot-points-indicator-ever

In a search of the forum, I didnt see anything like it. Waynes Pivot plot pp and mid points like M1 M2 M3 and M4 and plots the future pivots as well. M2 and M4 are Buy and Sell zones that sends an alert to you when hit. The colored areas at the top and bottom are take profit zones. I dont know how it works but it is different than other PP in the way it plots and it works very well. You should watch one of Waynes Youtube vids and see why its an awesome tool to have. He has some other very cool tools that he uses as well. Thank you

The script is running very slowly for me when using a longer time span on the chart, such as a year. Is it possible to modify the script so that it only plots back 60 days (even if the chart date range is over 60 days), so that the plot can be viewed for the most recent two months (plus tomorrow's projected pivots) without consuming a lot of bandwidth?
