Pivot Points - Monthly - Fibonacci Ratios
Overview |
Coming soon...

Interpretation |
The Fibonacci Ratio Monthly Pivot Point indicator can be used in place of the traditional Monthly Pivot Point indicator. Please refer to the "Pivot Point - Monthly" indicator for additional details.
Implementation |
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION BEFORE USING THIS INDICATOR!
The Monthly Pivot Points are calculated at 12:00 AM EST on the first of each month using the previous month.
Attaching this indicator to a15-Minute chart interval or lower intervals is NOT possible due to the limitation of history data available in VT Trader. Attaching this indicator to a Monthly chart is also NOT possible since the pivot calculations are not designed for those intervals.
It is suggested to increase the number of bars loaded into the charts before using this indicator. The History Length can be Set using:
VT Trader > Navigator Window > Options Bookmark > Properties > General > General Properties > Communication Bookmark
Recommended History Lengths:
| • | 5,000 bars are recommended for 30-Minute chart intervals or higher intervals |
If the chart window shrinks the price bars too much when the pivot point indicator is added, remove the pivot point indicator from the chart and then DISABLE the Auto-Size Vertically option before reattaching the indicator. Once reattached, you can manually Zoom In Vertically to re-adjust the chart scaling as desired.
