Hi there,
I have been trying to build the SwingTrendX.cs strategy and followed the following instruction :
Replaced PriceActionSwing.Utility with PriceActionSwing.Base;
Replaced SwingTypes with SwingStyle
But now getting the following errors :
NinjaScript File,Error,Code,Line,Column,
Strategy\SwingTrendX.cs,'NinjaTrader.Indicator.PriceActionSwing' does not contain a definition for 'SwingTrend' and no extension method 'SwingTrend' accepting a first argument of type 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.PriceActionSwing' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?),CS1061 - click for info,61,72,

Any help would be appreciated.
Forgot to add that I've downloaded the indicator today. So I would expect it's the latest version.
Update :
Looks like I've managed to get something to work. I had to use the UpFlip (and DnFlip) property, SwingTrend seems only be available on the oscillator indicator.
I DL'd the PasMA template from June 2014 but got an error message when I tried to apply it to an ES chart. Is there a newer version for NT7? I searched Attachments in this thread and did not find one.
I’m a newbie to futures.io (formerly BMT)F and have just spent four hours reading through all 116 pages of this thread. I’m a bit of a fish out of water here since I’ve been working on the MultiCharts platform for seven years. I do also own NinjaTrader, but I’m not a C# coder and in the past have struggled following C# source.
I’m looking for clarification of the PAS swing creation logic so that I can code basic PAS functionality for MultiCharts. At this point I do not need the full (amazing!) array of additional features and functions that dorschden and others have authored.
There were a number of comments that discussed the logic for creating a new swing point where Swing Type= Standard and Swing Size=N. From what I’ve been able to glean, a new swing low point will be created when N number of bars have been printed having highs lower than the prior swing high’s high. Is this correct? Are there exceptions or other rules? For example: if the Swing Size=5 and five bars in a row print with their high 1 tick below the prior bar’s high would a new swing low still be printed? Or am I misunderstanding?
I really appreciate any additional clarifications. Many thanks
PDQ, I'm not @dorschden or @Silvester17, but here's a simple way to get it. If the Swing Size is, say, 7 (the default), it looks back at the previous 7 bars. If the current bar is above/below the high/low of that range, it is a new high/low point. That's it.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here's a quick way to see it.
The chart below has PAS with a 7 bar size and a Donchian Channel with a 7 bar period -- that is, the Donchian draws in the 7 bar range of highs and lows for easy visibility, and the PAS high/low swing dots shift when the previous 7-bar range is exceeded up or down. You can count the bars to be sure this is what is happening.
For instance, there is a swing low at 2080 on the chart. Each of the two bars just before it were lows of their previous 7-bar range of lows (and each had a dot showing it as a low), but it was the last to break the 7-bar range before price turned up, so it stayed the swing low. Then a new high point was reached, and the highs kept advancing until 2085.25, when the previous 7-bar range was no longer broken on the upside.... and so on.
That's all there is to it. It's a matter of exceeding or not exceeding a range. Works very well, too.
