Hi

Do you mean Swing indicator that comes with standard Ninja installation? I use them in my trading method. I usually wait for a swing line and then retracement close to that line. If price cross that line I go short or long. I hope that answers your question.

Hi Manny1,

you can find more infos here

IMO there are too many variables to find a mechanical way to use this indicator. I think the author meant to help visualize some patterns as illustrated by Al Brooks Trading Webinar's - [AUTOLINK]Big Mike Trading[/AUTOLINK] Forum , must be used with discretion according to your own style and method.

Hi,

Please use the existing PriceActionSwing thread to ask questions so we don't have a split topic.



Thx,
Mike
