Proximity limit determines how near a pivot line must be to the current intra-day close before it will be displayed.
Adjust lower for more pivot lines and higher for less.
To use MTM Close to calculate the pivot points, set this value to 1. To use the Session Close set value to 0.
To use Proximity limit to show only nearby the pivot points, set this value to 1. To show all pivot levels set it to 0.
To show the green resistance lines, set this to 1. To not show any resistance levels set this parameter to 0.
To show the red support levels, set this to 1. To not show any support pivots set this parameter to 0.
Set this to between 1 and 7 to determine how many pivot levels are displayed.
In order to clearly see the pivot lines you will have to experiment with the parameters. Try to limit the number of lines or show only support or resistance lines as needed.
Zoom in and out to optimize the display.
Set the periodicity to 1-minute when the market opens to see the pivot lines sooner.
