Woodies Pivots For ThinkOrSwim

anton

New member
Hi.
There are 3 pivot indicators. If you select a month or a year in the indicator, then the lines will be min on the 1 day chart. But they are not shown on intraday charts. Can I add them somehow?

 
Solution
Here is my modified version of the TOS "WoodiesPivots" study.

My version replaces the "showOnlyToday" yes/no option with a "showOnly" drop-down for multiple options.

The drop-down gives you 3 options:
"All" - Draws pivots on every day of the chart (but not the expansion area).
"Today" - Draws pivots on today's bars only (but not the expansion area).
"Expansion Only" - Draws pivots only on the expansion area, freeing up your chart.

I hope you find this useful.

@anton If you use a 90day 5minute chart and zoom out and it will display the pivots on your chart

On the 2minute chart, it gets a bit ugly because 2minute charts can only be extended out to 30days:
