Has anyone else tried calling PriceActionSwingPro in a strategy in the strategy analyzer in NT 7? I have a strategy that uses it successfully in live sim and market replay, but it generates no trades in the strategy analyzer. Just curious if that's a known issue.

@ShatteredX, first time I have heard this comment. I thought PAS was not really usable since it was not working in replay. May I request you share a working version here or in the strategy thread so we can take a look at it:

Please consider this thread public and strategies developed based upon requests will be released to this thread (and maybe download section if applicable). If there is a special need or a privacy request, you can PM me and others as you have been doing, but I would encourage the coders to refer you back to this thread if it isn't novel in approach or application.

It only takes a few lines to produce a basic strategy based on the ABC signals of PriceActionSwingPro. It works in simulation and market replay anyway, not Strategy Analyzer (yet).

For NT 7:

Add this to your declarations up top:

Code

#region Using declarations
using PriceActionSwing.Base;
#endregion

Add the indicator to Initialize (sometimes it doesn't work without this, maybe a more experienced coder can explain why?):

Code

Add(PriceActionSwingPro(20, 7, SwingStyle.Standard, false));

Here is your order entry setup:

Code

if (PriceActionSwingPro(20,7, SwingStyle.Standard, false).AbcSignals[0] == 2)
		EnterLong();
if (PriceActionSwingPro(20,7, SwingStyle.Standard, false).AbcSignals[0] == -2)
		EnterShort();

The only thing missing here would be your stop loss and take profit orders. The easiest way I could think of was to edit the PASPro indicator and add a public data series for each (exactly how AbcSignals is already included). If you search the indicator for "abcSignals.Set(2)", you can see where to grab the stop and target.

I may post an actual strategy in the strategy thread but I'd like to get everything working properly first.

@ShatteredX, THanks! Any update on posting your strategy?

Hi,
is it possible to have priceactionswing to draw the swing volume as separate indicator window similar to/ weiswave(attached chart)
I am aware I can chose the zigzag volume swing, but I am looking for clearer visual swing volume bars

Any feedback is appreciate

Trying to develop an indicator that calls PriceActionSwing (NT7). I am running into all kinds of problem as the code has changed over time, and I no longer can figure out what works. Could someone please post a barebones indicator calling PriceActionSwing (again, NT7).

I really appreciate.

Yes when you install PriceActionSwing indicator you get PriceActionSwingOscillator which will plot swing volume bar on a seperate screen - check out the link

Swing vol is shows on the PriceActionSwingPro indicator on price screen. Attached pic, hope that is what you are looking for.
