If there is indeed an official new one, please get my attention so I can update the downloads section and send out notices.

@Big Mike, I believe there's an updated version somewhere that never made it to the download section:

dorschden

I'll fixed the code in a way that the divergence should work no matter how many bars are loaded. I have sent @Big Mike the updated version almost two weeks ago, but he didn't came around to upload it here in the forum until now. I can't upload a new version myself to the Free Section in the download area.

Hello all!

Please explain how to get from Priceactionswing indicator by the request from another indicator:
1. Most recent trough/peak value
2. Number of bars since it
3. 2nd most recent trough/peak value
2. Number of bars since it

Thank you!

Thank you for this great tool. I am attempting to install in NT8, fresh install, but getting an error on the SimpleFont textFont = new SimpleFont("Courier", 15);

Where can I get this to successfully compile?

@dorschden

Do we have the new version now ? Is it in the Download section ? Please, confirm.

YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE AN AWESOME FEATURE for the Price Action Swing indicator?

If it would count ALL the swing lengths of that day >>> and then give the total amount of TICKS in swings that the instrument traveled or moved that day.

That way we can compare the amount of ticks that you got at the end of the day >>> with the total amount of ticks that the market moved for that day or trading session.

for example let's just say hypothetically >>> a market is sideways >>> and also hypothetically >>> it only moved 3 'swings'.

It moved up 15 ticks.... down 20.... then up 15 again >>>> just throwing completely random numbers out there.

So this market moved 50 ticks total >>> 15 + 20 + 15 = 50 ticks.

Lets say you are a starting trader >>> and you were able to get the UP swings >>> then you have 30 ticks ( minus spread in real life... etc. )

So you got 30 ticks / 50 ticks = 60 % of the trading range / volume

if you are more professional then you would have also gotten the other direction and been closer to the 50 ticks.

So basically the goal is to keep getting higher and higher in percentage of ticks of the day.... or trading session. Like you trade only the U.S. Open Session

You need to make your own Series<T> within Priceactionswing. Are you using NT8?

@OAlejandro314159, I think that might have been a capability in NT7 version as statistics. It could estimate average swing sizes for a period. Unfortunately it was not carried over to NT8 version.
Run NT7 and see if it is what you are looking for. IF so then maybe someone could either add it to PAS or create it as a new separate indicator which I would prefer.

I share my edition bc it'll take eternity to explain this. I use this in my strategies. Code is pretty simple really. Everything that marked as "garbage" is my code so you can compare to original.

Add this to your indicator/strategy:

Code

using PriceActionSwing.Base;  // declaration

        private NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.PriceActionSwing.PriceActionSwing PriceActionSwing1; // variable 
        private SimpleFont textFont = new SimpleFont("Courier", 8); //font

            else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
            {
                PriceActionSwing1 = PriceActionSwing
    (Close, SwingStyle.Standard, 7, 1, false, SwingLengthStyle.Points, SwingDurationStyle.False, true, false, false, SwingTimeStyle.False, SwingVolumeStyle.False, VisualizationStyle.Dots_ZigZag, textFont, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, NinjaTrader.Gui.DashStyleHelper.Solid, 1, true, true); // change it depending on your needs
                AddChartIndicator(PriceActionSwing1); //only for strategies 
}

Make own variables to call values like this:

Code

//1. Most recent trough/peak value
            UpPrice   =  PriceActionSwing1.SwingHighPrice[0];
            DownPrice = PriceActionSwing1.SwingLowPrice[0];

//2. Number of bars since it Calculate it like this CurrentBar-UpBar
            UpBar = PriceActionSwing1.SwingHighBar[0];
            DownBar = PriceActionSwing1.SwingLowBar[0];

//Swings length
            UpLength = PriceActionSwing1.SwingHighLength[0];
            DownLength = PriceActionSwing1.SwingLowLength[0];

//3. 2nd most recent trough/peak value
//2. Number of bars since it
You should use UpFlip and DownFlip.

Code

PriceActionSwing1.UpFlip[0]; //up swing starts, bool series, true if it's first bar of new up swing
PriceActionSwing1.DownFlip[0]; // down swing starts, bool series, true if it's first bar of new down swing

Store your current swing low price/length/bar in another variable so when DownFlip == true it becomes your old swing low.
I think it's possible to access to historical swings high/low within PAS but honestly I don't know how. I use UpFlip/DownFlip and it's works like a song.

He is a pic of showing those flips. Red arrows are first bars of swing down. Green - swing up. Swing size == 7.

I hope it helps.
