On page one of this thread you will find a link in the text of the first page [about 9 lines down from the top of the page] that was put there by the developer of this indicator.

The heading of the reference is; "Strategy Development".

Could be what you're looking for?

Hello,
I am trying to extract trend values (RTUpTrend) and (RTDownTrend) from PriceActionSwingOscillator. I went through the thread and one of the suggestions was to add 'using PriceActionSwingOscillator.Utility;' to the Declarations section.

In the attached indicator when I try to do so, I am not able to compile it. Can someone please help to understand why? I have all three indicator PAS, PASSwingOscillator and PASPro installed on my computer and they work fine, but i just can't extract the values of RTUpTrend and RTDownTrend I need to use for my custom strategy.

Very much appreciate your help in advance.

I don't do any sort of manual trading, so was looking to incorporate this gorgeous indicator into some of my strategies. I went back and read all 400 pages of this thread and I couldn't find a proper way to incorporate DT, DB, HH, HL.
These threads have code but they don't compile or throw errors or just don't do what I wanted:
-
-
-

All I wanted is for the indicator to let the strategy know that we have a DT, DB, HL or HL. Many of the previous threads refer to public properties that don't exist anymore, such as .CurRelation .PriceSwingRelation etc. Therefore I made some changes to easily allow one to know when we have DT, DB, HL, LH.

I used the logic from the Alerts as you'll see down below.

This is how I can use the indicator from within methods now
 
Code
private bool DT(int shift)
		{
			PriceActionSwingPro pasp = PriceActionSwingPro(PAS_DtbStrength, PAS_SwingSize, PAS_SwingType, PAS_UseCloseValues);
			// we have a double top. Use DBSeries, HLSeries, LHSeries  for the other methods. 
			if (pasp.DTSeries[shift] == true)
			{
				return true;
			}
			else {
				return false;
			}
		}

Here are the changes made. I added screenshots so you guys can see the line numbers.

1. Create new BoolSeries




2. Instantiate BoolSeries



3. Follow logic for the alerts



4. Create Public Properties



5. All done, just use it within your methods



6. Result. Here we enter as soon as the DB method returns true for the current bar. Notice the lag. This is because only on that bar we would have received the alert that a new DB has formed, so only in that bar we get the signal.

This screenshot is from a backtest and I'm using CalculateONBarClose = true.


Here's the modified indicator.

PriceActionSwingPro.cs ? Droplr


Cheers

Leo

Hello everyone! First off...I LOVE this indicator. I love what it does and how it does it. I have been watching this indicator at work for about a month now (not long, relatively speaking). I have read through HALF of this entire thread and something is driving me nuts. I know that what I am about to ask the forum is what we all, as traders, are after but thought I still would ask (I have been contemplating asking for some time now but worried of getting ridiculed but what the heck, I should ask anyways). Like all indicators, how do we know which (meaning either DT or DB) one to look for? Is there a particular additional indicator we can add along with the PAS that will help us determine which direction we should be looking at? I know you are probably rolling your eyes at me but still would like to discuss this with someone. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

hey guys,

I'm new to the forum, but like everyone before me, I'd just like to express my gratitude to the creator of this indicator. It's really simple and helps me a lot.

If any help is required in testing this while it's being converted to NT8, I'd be happy to assist wherever I can.

many are still struggling to use gom cd as a divergence indicator.

if it's ok, I post a version of the price action swing pro indicator that can be used with gom cd. (all the necessary changes are already made) if not, let me know and I'll delete the file.


Hi Silvester, thanks for this. However, even in your version I'm not getting the GomCD options, the only thing I can select is GomCD for divergence indicator.

I have the latest GomCD package installed and also the latest PAS where I've uncommented all sections in code that has GomCD, but again, still not plotting nor giving me GomCD options. I also have it set to write data for GomCD.

Is there anything that I'm missing? I've the latest PAS that I updated for reference.

hi @1983tops,

difficult to say what went wrong. your pas indicator looks fine and should work. just in case I attached my pas version with gom cd installed. at least you should be able to see the gom cd options (at the bottom of the indicator):




also make sure you have this version of gom recorder:



good luck

edit: to make sure there're no other problems, please check your log in the control center for errors!!

Still no dice my friend. I have the latest Gom Recorder (2.6) and I also loaded your version with GomCD, but still nothing. Is there a process of flushing cache or something I'm missing? This is really rocking my brain man; I know it's going to be something really simple that I'm overlooking.

hmm. I can understand if no divergences show up on your chart (in case you haven't recorded any data). but what I can't understand is, that you don't have the gom cd options in the indicator window. that is if I understand you correctly

Correct! I triple checked (it's way more than 3 times checking, trust me!). Ok wait for it, wait for it..........eureka! Typical Windows program - kill it completely and then resurrect it in order for it to work :-)

I simply closed the Workspace and then reopened it (this is after multiple NT restarts of course). I think it had something to do with the Workspace XML, kinda like having to restart your web app after making DB changes, that's best example I can think of at least.

Alright, man thanks once again. Also hope that helps anyone else having similar issues.
