When I switched to NT7 I couldn't find a CMI Pivots that worked natively, the latest version I found was 8.0.

So I just modified it to work with NT7 which wasn't hard, and then I modified it to give it the visual look I wanted and also add some features I wanted (added more levels). Screen shots below. There are two indicators at work here, the Weekly Pivots -- the only one I modified because it's the only one I use -- and the CurrentDay, which is also the one showing the Fibonacci levels and the yesterday high and low.

I have two problems with these.

1) They occasionally throw an exception. I can't show you the exception because it didn't happen today and I don't have a capture of it. But, the exception is in the Plot override, an out of index exception.

2) They do not auto-update as new day highs and lows are made.

In both cases, you can Ctrl-Shift-R to reload historical data in NT7 and get the chart to update. A simple F5 update doesn't work.

I could use some help!

a) Can you fix the exception? I've stared at it a bit too long, can't see it!
b) Can you fix the auto update?
c) I am pretty sure the original CMI allowed you to scroll back to prior chart days and the pivots would update as you did. I guess I broke that, probably part of problem 1 and 2, but can't figure out where/how I broke it.

Also, on occasion I have noticed the indicator will complain of "Insufficient historical data, load a longer chart period" or whatever the message is, even though I have 60 days of chart history (plenty for a weekly pivot). Sometimes Ctrl-Shift-R fixes it, sometimes I have to exit Ninja and reload. I am not sure if it's a Ninja bug or a CMI bug or a bug I introduced to the CMI code.

I trade CL only, so I set the number scaling to two digits. For 6E it will look funny probably. I also set the padding for two digits, so if trade ES the margin will be a bit off. You can change it in the code.

You'll want a right-margin of about 125 or 150 for these on your chart.

Attached. Please upload the fixes and share

Hi BM,
I see you have the Fib. bands that are shown in your screen caps. Could you help me find the indicator? I really want it so I can start trading the ABC pattern. Attached is the one I found but it gives me an error when uploading to NT7.
Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

This is about two years old, you most definitely do not want to use this - it is out of date and has problems. Use Fat Tails version in the downloads section instead.
