Is there a NT8 market analyzer template for the PriceActionSwing Indicatorexist?

Thanks for the updated ProV2. One way I found out to modify the file is to edit in visual studio and save. Rather than edit in Ninjascript editor. ie to add exposed series EntryLevelLine, add it as an Public series and comment out or remove the the private remarks. But for anyone trying to add it as a strategy Condition the strategy builder does not setup the DataLoaded remark correctly, it should look something like: PriceActionSwingProV21 = PriceActionSwingProV2(Close,NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.PASEnums.SwingStyle.Gann, 2,20, false, true, true, false); So I added the AbcSignals as a condition long =1 and short =-1 on a 30 sec NQ it does pretty good. Just need to develop it to be more consistent over different market conditions as some weeks it kills it and other weeks not so good. If anyone has other conditions they think might improve this please post comments.

@set2win, I have thought that adding the last swing size could be of help in auto trading. So, NQ is a difficult one, but if discussing ES for example. You may want to preclude an entry if the current swing has already moved 60 ticks. As it is getting long in the tooth and will probably pull back.

Would appreciate if you could post your version that has the -1 / 1 code. Thank you!

jmont1 ... Unfortunately I can't post code as much of it is complex and some of it proprietary. If you use the Strategy Builder you can create it, using Condition, select indicator select abcsignal equals Numeric value 1 for long, -1 for short. Just remember to change in the code itself the Dataloaded reference for the indicator. On your suggestion, Ill have to study that and how to calculate the size. I'm just starting to learn about swing theory.

Hello Everyone,

I think this indicator is really cool. Loads everything so amazingly fast! Is there a way for it to generate ABC signal in the NT8 Market Analyzer Window. I have been trying to figure this out but no luck. Can some share some pictures with instructions on how to do this? I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Has there been any talk or attempt to add plots for break of structure or change of character to PAS or PAS Pro?

@dorschden

This is a great indicator. Good job!

I really wish that I could get a ratio to display over each swing value that prints. The ratio would be of the total contracts traded in the swing to the ticks in swing.

For example on ES:



In that image, the first swing shows your swing value indicator printing 6.4k contracts in a -42 tick swing. I added the simple math of dividing the 42 ticks by the 6.4k contracts (I remove two decimal places for ratios to have easier to read numbers) 42 / 6.4 = 6.5... 6.5:1

The math is simple of course but I wanted to know where I might enter this into the code to get this to print as I've described.

The benefit of this is to be able to quickly recognize low volume swings relative to the current price action. I am constantly doing this math in my head and would love to just have it print for me.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi,

You might use the 'SwingRays2B' indicator for this - it will alert on price Break of Structure. I think it's somewhere in the downloads section or NinjaTraders User App Share.

I'm not sure if the FormulaIndicator will work for this, but it's possible some of the code from the FormulaIndicator could be used for this, or the indicator itself might somehow be able to compute this.

Thanks! For now I'll use the Darvas Box for Break Of Structure in strong trends.
