Thank you @dorschden for the great indicator.
I have been trying to set up a Market Analyzer with no success, Is there any change from NT7 version why you can not get the divergence signals plot from a Market Analyzer using NT8 version?
thank you very much

Will be waiting

Looking for a way for Price swing to show ZN & ZB in bond price and not decimal? So far no joy? Anyone know a way? Thank You.

@FatTails shared this "Code Snippet" with us for NT-7 Indicators.

I have not tried this on NT-8 indicators, but it might help you?

Add this code section to your indicator after OnBarUpdate():

#region Miscellaneous

public override string FormatPriceMarker(double price)
{
double trunc = Math.Truncate(price);
int fraction = Convert.ToInt32(320 * Math.Abs(price - trunc) - 0.0001);
// rounding down for ZF and ZT
string priceMarker = "";
if (TickSize == 0.03125)
{
fraction = fraction/10;
if (fraction < 10)
priceMarker = trunc.ToString() + "'0" + fraction.ToString();
else
priceMarker = trunc.ToString() + "'" + fraction.ToString();
}
else if (TickSize == 0.015625 || TickSize == 0.0078125)
{
if (fraction < 10)
priceMarker = trunc.ToString() + "'00" + fraction.ToString();
else if (fraction < 100)
priceMarker = trunc.ToString() + "'0" + fraction.ToString();
else
priceMarker = trunc.ToString() + "'" + fraction.ToString();
}
else
priceMarker = price.ToString(Gui.Globals.GetTickFormatString(TickSize));
return priceMarker;
}

#endregion

Thanks, I actually want this for NT7 but did not get it to compile. Do you have an NT7 version already with code added?

Thanks dorschden very much for the excellent indicator!
I can see you have put a lot of work into it, it's a real credit to you!
Thanks also for your generosity in sharing it with us all.
I have just started to use it. I have tried both and find I like the old version better than the Pro at this stage, for 2 reasons.
1. I don't need all the bells and whistles in the pro and the unless I am mistaken the oscillator works slightly different in both versions, I prefer the result from the older one.

I have a question, or more of a feature request.
What I would find extremely useful, is if the swing line type would change with the change of trend, (based on swings).
I have uploaded an image to display exactly what I am talking about.
The image is from a book by Robert Krausz called WD Gann, Treasure Discovered.

I am able to program basic indicators, but after looking at your code, this is beyond my capability.
Would really appreciate if someone can do this.

Sorry the image is upside down, I tried to fix it but it wouldn't change.
You can see it clear enough though.

Cheers,
Ken.

Sorry, short answer is "No", I don't use "PAS"......

I've got another question on PAS in NT8.

Does anyone know how I can export to excel (or similar) a csv that shows the rotation sizes in ticks so I can do some statistical analysis on those rotations ?

I've tried a free indicator called Universal Data Export and it does export the indicator data but for PAS this is not the tick sizes of the rotations but instead seven columns labelled:
DoubleBottom
LowerLow
HigherLow
DoubleTop
LowerHigh
HigherHigh
Gannswwing

These columns are populated with zeros or the fractal low/high which can be a succession of prices until the fractal is achieved.

This would take a lot of cleaning up to get into a nice array of rotation sizes so any suggestions on the best way to do this would be great

I'm getting the following error when trying to install/import the PAS zip file on NT8 (freshly installed). Any idea as to what might cause it?

Quoting

Import failed. The NinjaScript Archive File may contain duplicate method names that already exist on your PC,
modify a method signature that other scripts were dependent on, or be missing a required file on either your PC or in the import archive.

Apologies if this has been addressed before in the thread, a quick search didn't bring up any relevant posts.

EDIT: I also tried copying the .cs files to NT's indicator folder, but couldn't get them to compile.

Based on my experience with another indicator, this happens if you have another indicator in the indicators folder with the same name in the following section:
public class PriceActionSwing: Indicator
If that is the case, you will either need to exclude one of them from compilation or rename the bold part of one of them - e.g. PriceActionSwing02 would be sufficient.

Thank you @dorschden for your great indicator.
Is possible to add Volume Delta Values to the Swings in this indicator?
I think that this would be a valuable added feature for this indicator.

Thank you.
