Hello

I would like to use two or three last previous swing highs and lows in an strategy. Does anyone know how can I collect and call them in an strategy?

Thanks

Do you have the Code just for the ABC pattern?
Ricky H View Post
I would like to thank each and every person that has, and continue to contribute their time and skills to development of this powerful indicator for us here in futures.io (formerly BMT). I'm not a coder, I just begun to get my feet wet in the C# world. I'm learning more and more how to do different things everyday mostly by trial and error.....lol. I commend all the great coders we have here in futures.io (formerly BMT), all you guys do an awesome job.

I've been using the PAS-Pro for about 7-9 months now, and
I've been attempting (w/o any success) to slightly modify the code in the PAS-Pro.
I feel sure these simple things I've been attempting to do will probably seem elementary to the great coders here?

1-The Main thing I would like to do is:
Have PAS-Pro to "DrawRay" instead of "DrawLine" for the ABC entry line....
- also preferably have the option on the user input panel, that will allow the user adjust how many times the "Entry Ray" gets re-tested (hit/penetrated) before "removing it? Or maybe just have it accumulate a max number of "Entry Rays" of 4, that will remove the oldest "Entry Ray" after the 5th "Entry Ray" is plotted or begins to plot?


Secondary,
I would like to code the PAS pro so it will re-calculate or(update) period of 1440 min, that will re-draw (print/plot) the naked swing lines at the top of each hour during the 1440 min session,starting at 00:00:00 and ending at 23:59:00. I already have the historical swing display toggled off, but during flat, choppy market conditions, the chart starts to become cluttered with all the naked swing lines. Right now I don't use the naked swing lines at all, although they work great on trending days. I would like to be able to use them all the time instead of using the standard "swing" indicator from NT.

If this is possible, can any of you guys give me a little direction on how to accomplish this?
Thanks Again to everyone here in futures.io (formerly BMT). All feedback is welcome..

Hi,

Usually it's >0 for true conditions with PAS plots.

Hi, I am new to ninjatrader and the PAS indicator.

I am using volume in the PriceActionSwingOscillator but the cumulative volume triangles do not line up with the zigzag's of the PriceActionSwingPro.

For both indicators I used:
Swing Type: Standard
Swing size: 15

Setup:
Calculate: On each tick
Max Bars look back: Infinite

Is there any other property that has an influence?

I drew blue lines to some of the instances where there are differences between the Pro and Oscillator.

Yes, check "Use Close Values" property.

Thanks, but I had it checked on both the Pro and the Oscillator. With further inspection it seems the oscillator has difficulty choosing a high/low in a sideways, small zig-zag pattern. The pro chooses a correct higher high or lower low. The problem is about 1-3 times a day. Not too bad.

Also, not every sideways zig-zags get this treatment. In the attachment there is 2 examples and they are not treated the same way.

Strategies based on the original PriceActionSwing will not work with the new Price Action Swing by @dorschden.

They require a manual code update.

Would someone be so kind as to tell me what changes need to be made to the strategy code for the new PAS.

What a great piece of work!!! Awesome job.

I was going through the thread and trying to find out if there is any post on how to use this indicator to make trading decisions?

Thanks

Try ">0" for true conditions.

@tancwkev @Tradarr My testing confirms that the only info revealed is ABCsignal. I tested the other information looking at Not equal to zero "0."

My non-programmer guess is that is because ABC is the first value and the others are not being revealed to Strategy Builder. ABC does use a -1/0/+1 as the signal. And you could still use the <0 / >0 for short or long.

Be great if someone could figure out getting the rest. But I mainly wanted the ABC. Unfortunately, I am not sure that these signals are effective. I ven tried going long when it says short. Still testing.
