thelearner,
This is the "short" version. You can always choose what you want to show before hitting OK when placing indicator. That's what the inputs are there for.
As far as resources it takes up, all I can say is I have had problems yesterday with my Empty4 locking up every hour. Figured at first it was FXDD making my platform unresponsive for first minutes of every hour. Then I thought maybe it could be the re-calculation of pivots at start of every hour (60 minute update is an input, you can set it once a day for all I care. It's an input though, so enjoy fiddling with it ti your heart's content.
Since I work on a 4-year-old Mac laptop, then I'm using Wine to run Windows software natively. I can normally run multiple Empty4 instances at same time no problems, so slowdown is unusual for me. I started Activity monitor, and found that wine was taking up 100% CPU. So I stopped running my software with WineSkin Winery and tried another free product WinOnX. I now don't have any problems. I don't know how slow it is on actual Windows with all the overhead of the OS. If the user thinks it's slow, just think about the developer - me. I had to re-compile after every change to get the layout right. You have to place once. After it loads, should be good to go, unless you're having the locking up at beginning of hour. I was able to easily change the Wine product I was using. If you're using Windows, I'm sorry, can't help you there. Try a lighter version? (Might want to try Windows XP Black Edition you can find on web)
I honestly can say that I can't make this indicator better. Other coders can try. I'm no pro. User can set ManualMode to true and manually set their Eastern time hour offset to lessen resources if under assumption that it's taking too many resources. Other than that, since open and pivots and S/R are core of system, I can't figure out how to do without having to calculate them. And if I want them correct, I can figure of no other way to do this. So it is what it is.
P.S. The DS Store file is an invisible Mac OS X file that you can disregard. It keeps the position, size, etc. of window on Mac in this DS Store file. Good for nothing on Windows.

thelearner wrote:@don It is a great thing you do there. Is it any burden if I request only to have the first 8 columns information as the light version (so I can actually use it at my Empty4 without freezing). I really want to use it but no chance due to "not responding" problem at my Empty4
So I just want the most basic information that will allow me to trade 10.3 with ease.
@NB get well soon
Best regards and respect for both of you!
for videos on both 10.3 and CTS (old video, but is how updated I am on my knowledge, except indicator needs to be updated for new Eastern 17:00 day open/pivot/S/R calculations, and I'll post here when I get it updated. Pretty tired, but am working on it when awake. I don't have enough money in account to trade anyways, so this seems better to be doing is updating indicators with new code so we are all talking the same language for first time in Forex world indicators as far as I know of.
