The study does show these levels and is enabled to print, but not plotting for any stock ticker.($AMD,$AAPL,$TSLA etc).
Time period Type:Days, Time Period Length:1, Formula Type:5

Pls advise,

There are no S6/R6 calculations for the Camarilla Pivot Points. You can see this in the definition of the calculations here:
Pivot Points: Formula Type 5 (Camarilla Pivot Points)

pls advise.. this should be relatively easy to add..the study already has these levels defined ,just need to be enabled with correct formula.

S6 = Close – (difference between R6 and Close)
R6 = (High/Low) * Close

S6 & R6 come into play on big trend days...

Thanks!

Not sure why is this so difficult?

Can someone pls assist with a custom study to add these two levels, with formula provided, since SierraChart isnt willing to add these?

Thanks!

Here it is because yesterday NQ stop at S6 and R6 camarilla pivot point :

You must have the study :

Pivot point formula type = 5
Daily OHLC With a configured daily chart number in the setting "#the number of your daily chart(example : #10)"

For R6, add the study : Spreadsheet formula
In the setting,
Formula(in:1) add this ID1.SG20 + 1.168 * (ID1.SG20 - ID1.SG16)
Where ID1 = the pivot study with formula 5
SG20 = R5
SG16= R4
(look inside the study subgraphs for corresponding with the id of your study)

For S6, add the study : Spreadsheet formula
In the setting,
Formula(in:1) add this ID10.SG4- (ID24.SG1-ID10.SG4)
ID10 = study daily OHLC
ID10.SG4 = Daily OHLC close (look inside the study subgraphs for corresponding with the id of your study)
ID24.SG1 = R6 camarilla point from the previous study

And that's ok

Are you talking about this this study "Pivot Points-Variable Period" or "Pivot Points-Daily" @User751630?

If so, source is in Studies8.cpp.

If writing custom studies isn't your thing or Clod can't figure it out for you, reach out.
