To display weekly pivots you would need data for the prior week. If you open a chart right now, the last day plotted would be Friday, Oktober 21. The chart end date would be today, that is October 23. Your chart therefore needs to cover at least the period from Friday, October 7 to Friday October 21.

I always include the last day of one week earlier to make sure that the required week is complete.

So if you count back from today, your chart lookback period should be set to 17 days or more. Also make sure that you have loaded historical data to your data base. The you can best use the SessionPivots indicator in DailyBars mode.

The chart below use a lookback period of 17 days, and there is no error.

I think the problem here is your chart period. the longest you can use is a daily chart.

You are right, of course it is not possible to display weekly pivots on a weekly chart.

However you can display the main weekly pivot PP by applying a SMA(1) and set the input to Typical.
