By simply adding .wav has resolved the sound issue. Cheers for that quick fix.

Is there a way to configure this indicator or any similar indicator to replicate Ira Epstein swing indicator? I leave video so you can see how his swing indicator marks the highs and lows.

@aja1946, this video did not focus on explaining the fundamentals of his swing indicator. It shows the arrows but does not explain them. My guess is that you have not really looked at PAS to see that it will show highs/lows as well as higher highs and lower lows.

Please experiment with the indicator settings. Then find a video that explains his system. Now expound on the inherent differneces of PAS to Swing and try to offer a reasonable modification to bring them in line.

Good trading ALL !!!

Jmont,

There is not such video. It´s not difficult to compare how his indicator marks the swings and to deduct the differences with a regular swing indicator, that is the easy part. The difficult part is to program the differences in the swing indicator because PAS or NinjaPriceAction do not offer the necessary adjustments to do it.

@aja1946 from the video it looks like his swing is just using a swing size of one (1) rather than PAS where people usually look for longer periods before declaring a new swing.
Try going to "parameters" just above the Data Series. Change the Swing Size to one (1) then try tick instead of standard or other options to see if it matches over time. You could do it and look back at his older videos to confirm the match also.

Please comment back if this does/does not work.

Good luck!

Settings size to 1 and in type "percentage" doesn´t cut it completely. For instance, weekly candle in the ES-emini on September 18th, in Ira´s indicator there is a swing. The reason is that even though the candle closed lower than the previous candle, it has a high that is higher than the open of the previous candle. Some programming adjustments need to be done for that, I believe.

I highly doubt that this indicator needs adjustments. taking your settings (swing size 1, swing type percentage), there's a lower high on sept, 18

Using PriceActionSwingPro, Nt8, is not drawing the swing for the candle of September 18th, settings type "percent" swing size "1". Data Series: price based on "last", type "week", value "1". Trading hours "Use instrument setting".

Silvester,

Can you upload a template so I can check why my indicator is not working properly?

it is working properly. I think you need to adjust the "days to load" in the data series. how many days did you load?

In the weekly chart, 1825 days, but I just changed to 222 days and it doesn´t solve it.
