Question

Guest Hallgente

Who at IG is responsible for Pivot Point generation on ProRealTime charts please?  I'd like to ask some questions relating to the misleading pivot points generated in ProRealTime on the All Sessions markets.

 

Thank you

Hi Anton

 

1. It seems ProRealTime added functionality to Pivot Point generation in the past but neither IG or ProRealTime announced it or made it obvious for an oldie like me.  Nuff said.  Anyhow........... the functionality added permits the times the HLC values are captured to be user defined.  Here's a screenshot in case you're not familiar..  http://my.jetscreenshot.com/16785/20171227-gnzf-56kb

 

2. Your previous comments about changing ProRealTime charts to particular timezone settings doesn't sound right for anybody trading or monitoring positions Indices, stocks, commodities and forex on a regular basis.

 

QUESTION - For the user defined time settings for Pivot Point calculation as shown in the screenshot above, please can you confirm that the values are captured off your book at the user defined times only Monday through Friday and not off your charts/database of your All Sessions markets on days other than Monday through Friday.

 

Many thanks

Hi James

 

A) Daily Pivot Points - For the DFB markets of FTSE, DAX and Wall Street (DJI):as available in the chargeable professional charting package ProRealTime:

 

A1. What days of the week do you collect values to calculate daily pivot points?

A2. What exact time of each trading day timestamp do you use when collecting the High, Low, Close values/data necessary to calculate the daily pivot points?. 

A3.. Please can you state whether the timestamp used in the calculations is local time for the applicable market or some other universal timestamp.

 

B) Daily Pivot Points - For the DFB markets of all USA All Sessions stocks as available in the chargeable  professional charting package ProRealTime:

 

B1. What days of the week do you collect values to calculate daily pivot points?

B2. What exact time of each trading day timestamp do you use when collecting the High, Low, Close values/data necessary to calculate the daily pivot points?. 

B3.. Please can you state whether the timestamp used in the calculations is local exchange time or some other universal timestamp.

 

Thank you

Hi 

 

In Prorealtime the answer to allot of your questions would depend on your timezone settings in Prorealtime. Right click on the chart and go to "custom trading hours" to see which settings you have in use.

 

A1: Pivot points would be calculated based on the candles visible on your chart, from that same trading hours section you can either include or exclude weekend data.

 

 A2: Trading hours are also set from the same section mentioned above.

 

B: You would set up your trading times from the custom trading hours section, each category has its own settings so for instance shares UK and shares US would have their own individual time zone settings. 

 

If you have any further questions then please let us know.

 

Thanks

Anton

    • Look ahead to 31/5/23: China PMI; France GDP; Germany CPI Economic data is key on Wednesday. It starts in Japan with retail sales, followed by Chinese PMI.  Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Tuesday 30 May 2023  IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor looks at the chances that the Chinese yuan will weaken further as it becomes more and more obvious that the recovery in China is further away than initially expected. Then in the eurozone we’re looking at the CAC 40 and DAX as growth and inflation data is released. The only corporate on the schedule is from stationers, WH Smith.

    • Artificial intelligence (AI) is the new big hot topic.  Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Tuesday 30 May 2023  After NVIDIA last week reported a massive earnings and revenue beat, the company is now building Israel's most powerful AI supercomputer. It will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but the computational power proposal is astonishing. The system, called Israel-1, is expected to deliver the performance of up to eight exaflops of AI computing. One exaflop is a standard measure of performance for a supercomputer. Exa is short for quintillion, a 1 followed by 18 zeros, which means one exaflop has the ability to perform one billion-billion calculations per second. This proposal from NVIDIA is to build a computer which can perform eight times that amount of calculations per second. The report suggests that the system will be partly operational by the end of 2023. (Video Transcript) More good news for NVIDIA NVIDIA, the artificial intelligence (AI) specialist which makes semiconductors for computers, reported some stellar earnings last week, both earnings and revenues up, and the outlook extremely robust as a result of its association with artificial intelligence or AI chips. Yesterday, NVIDIA came out with some more news. It's announced it is building Israel's most powerful AI semi-computer and the numbers are astonishing. The system is called Israel-1. It's expected to deliver the performance of up to eight exaflops of AI computing. Now, what is an exaflop? Well, that's a good question. One exaflop has the ability to perform one billion-billion calculations per second. Now, the system will cost hundreds of millions of dollars and will be partly operational by the end of 2023. This will mean that Israel through this computer will be able to engage far quicker with AI computing and it will help extra elements. Share price chart Let's take a look at what's happening in NVIDIA stock as we speak all-sessions on the IG platform. This is early trade. We are very, very close to going to a new all-time high and I suspect we could well end up seeing this creep up, even as we speak. It is currently trading at $398.74. This is a candle here where you can see we've gone at the bottom and we're currently at the top. There are no sellers in this stock. And I predict that sometime today, we will see a new all-time record high. Last week, NVIDIA stock jumped more than 25%, or around about a quarter of its total value, on the back of its quarterly earnings. And you can see at the moment we are punching higher as we speak. So, NVIDIA very much the front and center of AI computing and it's benefiting this morning from that news in Israel.
