Pivot Points - Daily (Shifted)
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
// Pivot Points - Daily (Shifted).mq4
// Copyright © 2009, SwingTree Ltd
// 
// This indicator plots horizontal lines at daily pivot levels R3, R2,
// R1, Pivot, S1, S2 & S3, using a day that is advanced (or retarded)
// from the server time (called Pivot Day).
// 
// The only input is the integer "ShiftHrs", which gives the number of
// hours to advance the pivot day. A negative value delays the day for
// pivot calculation. For example, if your server is on New York time
// (GMT-5) and you want pivot points in London time (GMT), then
// ShiftHrs is set to +5 (the default in the code).
//
// Saturday and Sunday trading is not ignored (after all it was real
// trading). If the pivot day shift results in data appearing on
// Saturday, it was really Friday where it occured, so the indicator
// treats it as part of Friday. If the pivot day shift results in data
// appearing on Sunday, it was really Monday where it occured, so the
// indicator treats it as Monday.
//
// It uses an indicator buffer for each line, so pivot levels of
// previous days remain visible. (This has a negative consequence:
// it is not possible to use the same technique to draw intermediate
// levels (S0.5, S1.5, etc.) because of the limit of 8 buffers.)
//
// Labels are shown for the most recent day's levels.
// 
// This indicator can be applied to any chart period, although daily
// pivots on charts with long periods are meaningless.
