Need help with Pivot Point Formula

[Sardonicus]

How would I write a paint bar that shows the price within a percentage [say 1%] on either side of a pivot point?

[Sardonicus]

I managed to figure it out myself. 

Here is the formula I came up with if anyone else wants to use it.  I ended up going with 1/2% instead of a full percent. 

If MAX(ABS(Bar Open-Pivot Points.P),ABS(Bar Open-Pivot Points.P))<0.005*Bar Close

Other support resistance levels would be Pivot Points.R1 or Pivot Points.S1. 

Order them down from the highest level of resistance.  Hope this helps somebody.  Many messages on these boards have helped me.

JMHO (please correct me if I misunderstood your point):

By “shows the price within a percentage...” you mean the current price (=>Bar Close), correct? If so, does it really matter where the bar opened?

Based on my above assumption, I think the following will achieve your goal:

If ABS(Bar Close-Pivot Points.P)<0.005*Bar Close

Thanks.

I'll try that one to see what difference it makes.

I am not really good at this syntax and formula thing.

Your reply is appreciated
