@Silvester

Thanks for the clarification. I will adjust the numbers until I find what I'm looking for in the indicator.

I was wondering something with the PriceActionSwing indicator. I used the wizard to create a strategy using this indicator to compare to the Higher High and Lower Low bars 2 bars back from the current bar, but the strategy generated an error. I'm new to coding, only 1 week of experience, and thought a simple strategy wizard generated code would be easy to create. Below is what I was trying to accomplish with the strategy:

If the current bar's Low/High is the same as the Lower Low/Higher High in either of the last 2 bars, take a long/short position with a 15 tick trailing stop.

Of course more would need to be included in order for this to be a good strategy, but was trying to make a simple strategy to see how the indicator would enter a position visually.

Dear gretzkyless and coders.
I tried to put your code into strategy analyzer to see how it´s working but compiler tells me always that
"PriceActionSwing.Utility.SwingTypes.Standard"
"is no valid method / not valid in context".
When I search for a solution I cannot find a "PriceActionSwing.Utility....... in my indicators at all, I think I am using a wrong indicator version. I tried to reinstall several downloads from download area and your posted versions, but it doesn´t work, could you help me - or other member ?
Thanks. Kind regards, Christoph

@resist - indicator works fine. Would need to speak with creator of indicator i think to put into a strategy since I think this indicator was only meant for illustrative purposes. Trying to figure out how to possibly use the logic in a trading strategy I'm trying to create. If I'm able to figure out, I will post here without giving too much of my strategy away.

Is there any problem with the Price Action Swing Oscillator indicator when Volume is selected for indication?

I used this indicator to plot the volume trend and crashed my NT all day yesterday. The NT will start but as soon as I click on a chart, menu, or anywhere on control panel, or even try to close the NT, the NT will gray out and go into an un-ending spin with my computer running like crazy.

My Fix: I could not get any help anywhere so I forced shutdown the program again, deleted a file called "_Workspces.XML" then restarted the program with only the Control Panel and was able to rebuild the Workspace I was previously using without this indicator and things are fine for now.

Wondering if anyone had similar issues with the Volume indication option.

@aligator,

that's strange. I normally don't use volume as swing indication. but anyway tried a few things. applied it to several charts, created a template and even a workspace. so far everything still working fine.

it would really surprise me if the problem is this indicator.

@Silvester17, Thanks.

It surprises me too. There may be a couple of reasons that I am not sure of:

1. Does it function when you set the COBC to false with Volume selected for trend?
2. Would that be a "Sunday" issue (market closed or hardly moves) when COBC = false is looking for an uptick or down tick for calculating the ZIg-Zag and volume trend?

As I mentioned, I deleted the Workspaces.XLM file last night and things seem to be fine for now. I have not dared to load the indicator again

It could very well be that I had a corrupt Workspaces.XMl file. I should remember this fix for future if it happens again. But frankly, I was loosing my patience and was getting ready to ditch NT - ZenFire and use my TOS account.

Cheers!

@aligator,

for all my tests I used COBC = false.

I never had a workspace issue, but I remember reading about that exact problem. so just go ahead and load that indicator. it'll be ok.

@greenroomhoo,

because it changed its name. PriceActionTrend is now PriceActionSwingOscillator.
