Small modification to the Pivot Points indicator in TradingView

Question

I'm trying to make a small modification to the official Pivot Points Standard indicator in TradingView, but I'm a a bit of a novice when it comes to coding and everything I try doesn't seem to work. I even tried using ChatGPT without success.

During the pre-market trading hours, the pivot point levels are do not get plotted for the trading day until the market open (9:30 am ET).

Since the pivot points formula uses the previous day's data to calculate new pivot levels, I'm trying to modify the code so that they get plotted for the day during the pre-market session before 9:30am ET.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

The code below is the official one for the Pivot Points Standard indicator in TradingView.

I tried using "request.security" but that's probably wrong (used ChatGPT).

Answer 1

showDevelopingPivotsInput = input.bool(title="Show Developing Pivots", defval=false, group="labels", display = display.data_window)

securityPivotDrawConditionDeveloping = showDevelopingPivotsInput ? true : false
localPivots = ta.pivot_point_levels(pivotTypeInput, localPivotTimeframeChange,securityPivotDrawConditionDeveloping)
securityPivotPointsArray = ta.pivot_point_levels(pivotTypeInput, securityPivotTimeframeChange,securityPivotDrawConditionDeveloping)

Read for details : ta.pivot_point_levels()

Calculates the pivot point levels using the specified type and anchor. Syntax ta.pivot_point_levels(type, anchor, developing) → array Arguments developing (series bool) If false, the values are those calculated the last time the anchor condition was true. They remain constant until the anchor condition becomes true again. If true, the pivots are developing, i.e., they constantly recalculate on the data developing between the point of the last anchor (or bar zero if the anchor condition was never true) and the current bar. Optional. The default is false. Remarks The developing parameter cannot be true when type is set to "Woodie", because the Woodie calculation for a period depends on that period's open, which means that the pivot value is either available or unavailable, but never developing. If used together, the indicator will return a runtime error.

Answer 2

localPivots = ta.pivot_point_levels(pivotTypeInput, localPivotTimeframeChange)
securityPivotPointsArray = ta.pivot_point_levels(pivotTypeInput, securityPivotTimeframeChange)

change this two into develop mode
