I am a new user for Metastock/power pivots plus. I need help in programming PP+. I would like to create my own trading system using PP+. At any point of time, I would like to define Reward/Risk ratio something like (Upper resistance - Close price)/(Close price - Lower support) for Long trades 'Upper resistance' is a nearest pivot upside which can be minor/intermediate/Major/Primary and must be greather than Close price Similarly 'Lower support' is a nearest pivot downside which can be minor/intermediate/Major/Primary and must be less than Close price Now my problem is that when I try function for Upper resistance ExtFml("PowerPivots.NthPivotPrice",1,0,1) 1. I am getting price some times less than close price and 2. some times that minor pivot upside is grater than Intermediate pivot upside i.e. ExtFml("PowerPivots.NthPivotPrice",2,0,1) is becoming less than ExtFml("PowerPivots.NthPivotPrice",1,0,1) I wanted closest pivot(R/I/M/P) upside which is greater than Close Finally I wrote an indicator for the same as follows {myPP+ - Target long} CV:=C; HV:=Highest(C); P1:=If(ExtFml("PowerPivots.NthPivotPrice",4,0,1)>CV, ExtFml("PowerPivots.NthPivotPrice",4,0,1), HV); M1:=If(ExtFml("PowerPivots.NthPivotPrice",3,0,1)>CV, ExtFml("PowerPivots.NthPivotPrice",3,0,1), HV); I1:=If(ExtFml("PowerPivots.NthPivotPrice",2,0,1)>CV, ExtFml("PowerPivots.NthPivotPrice",2,0,1), HV); R1:=If(ExtFml("PowerPivots.NthPivotPrice",1,0,1)>CV, ExtFml("PowerPivots.NthPivotPrice",1,0,1), HV); D1:=IF(P1>M1, M1, P1); D2:=IF(D1>I1, I1, D1); D3:=IF(D2>R1, R1, D2); D4:=IF(D3=HV,-1,D3); D4; It does not apper to be working. Also when put in exploration the exploration is very slow. Is there any better way to write this indicator? Thanks in advance. Sankar

this indicator only uses minor and intermediate pivots but it plotsthe same as the above indicator A2:=If(IsUndefined(ExtFml("PowerPivots.Pivots")=2),0, If(IsDefined(ExtFml("PowerPivots.Pivots")=2),1,0)); A1:=If(IsUndefined(ExtFml("PowerPivots.Pivots")=1),0, If(IsDefined(ExtFml("PowerPivots.Pivots")=1),1,0)); An2:=If(IsUndefined(ExtFml("PowerPivots.Pivots")=-2),0, If(IsDefined(ExtFml("PowerPivots.Pivots")=-2),1,0)); An1:=If(IsUndefined(ExtFml("PowerPivots.Pivots")=-1),0, If(IsDefined(ExtFml("PowerPivots.Pivots")=-1),1,0)); B2:=If(A2=1,Highest(ValueWhen(1,A2=1,H)),0); B1:=If(A1=1,Highest(ValueWhen(1,A1=1,H)),0); Bn2:=If(An2=1,Lowest(ValueWhen(1,An2=1,L)),0); Bn1:=If(An1=1,Lowest(ValueWhen(1,An1=1,L)),0); Hr:= Max(B2,B1); Lr:= Min(Bn2,Bn1); Sto1:=(C-Lr)/(Hr-Lr); Sto2:=(Hr-C)/(Hr-Lr); Sto1;Sto2;
