Simple Pivot Points with dots, not lines(automatic setup)
1. Why Pivot Point is popular
Because unlike most indicators, it's not lagging! It is forward-looking, it's real-time, it's just right there.
2. Why this script is created？
I don't like many indicator lines crossing my screen everywhere, just as some Pivot Point indicators did. So I wrote this script to keep my screen as clean/neat as possible.
3. About the other “manual setup” version.
I'm a E-mini S&P500 future trader, and I found the close prices on Daily chart is different from the ones on lower timeframe occasionally.
So I asked some TradingView staff and the reply was:
The closing price of a daily bar on TradingView is based on a Settle price from the exchange.

So, if you found the same problem also occurs on your tickers, you can search the "Simple Pivot Points with dots, not lines(manually setup)" version, in which

- I replace the D(representing the Daily timeframe ) with 1440(representing 1440 minutes) in the script, making the daily Pivot Points more accurate.
- You can set the "last week/month close" in the "script settings" MANUALLY to ensure the weekly/monthly Pivot Point is the most accurate.
