Pivot point - Daily study has a formula type option, but whenever I try to insert formula, it returns to '0'. If anybody would like to help with this study, these are the formulas -
R3 = C + (H − L) × 1.1 / 4
R4 = C + (H − L) × 1.1 / 2
R6 = (C × H) / L
S3 = C − (H − L) × 1.1 / 4
S4 = C − (H − L) × 1.1 / 2
S6 = C − (R6 − C)

What do you mean?
Are you are trying to paste an actual formula into the formula type input?

You need to choose from one of the available formula options.

Thank you for the reply. I was trying to put formula but after seeing the link you provided, is there any way I can include S6 and R6 levels in this formula types - say formula type 9

If we can get a definitive source for a specific set of Pivot Points, then we would add any additional Support/Resistance levels per that source.

Given the initial formulas you posted, the Camarilla Pivot Points match what you are looking for. This is Formula Type 5 in the list. Take a look at this here:
Pivot Points: Formula Type 5 (Camarilla Pivot Points)

Additionally, you can always modify the code that calculates the Pivot Points, which is in the "CalculateDailyPivotPoints" function found in the scstudyfunctions.cpp file located in the ACS_Source folder under you main Sierra Chart installation folder. Refer to the following:
How to Build an Advanced Custom Study from Source Code

Or, you can use any number of tools (including the Spreadsheet Formula) to calculate the additional lines you want and display them.
