Response

IEnumerable<PivotPointsResult>

This method returns a time series of all available indicator values for the quotes provided.
It always returns the same number of elements as there are in the historical quotes.
It does not return a single incremental indicator value.
The first window will have null values since there’s not enough data to calculate.

🚩 Warning: The second window may be inaccurate if the first window contains incomplete data. For example, this can occur if you specify a Month window size and only provide 45 calendar days (1.5 months) of quotes.

👉 Repaint warning: the last window will be repainted if it does not contain a full window of data.
