You may be able to move (right side margin) the chart over in the properties for the chart. I don't know exactly what you're looking at, just offering a possibe solution.

Hi Traders,

Hope you are all doing great. I'm putting together this thread so I can share some of the features and functionality of ActiveGeoKing, an indicator that I spent many years developing and improving to support my own trading. The indicator has extensive features but no documentation, so I am happy to answer questions here for anyone who sees value in using the indicator to support their trading.

GeoKing in its full version is available for anyone to download and use and can be found in the indicator download section for NT8 on this site here https://nexusfi.com/local_links.php?catid=27

What is GeoKing?

Geoking for NT8 leverages its own custom layer built on top of the zig zag indicator to automatically identify the three most relevant swings of any chart. A feature-rich toolbar allows the user to quickly shift the identified swings to their preference.

The identified swings are used to generate a wide array of technical price points based on Fibonacci retracements and extensions, as well as pivot highs and lows, floor trader pivots, 3 day balance line, market open, trendlines and corrective/impulsive measured moves from Elliot wave theory. These price points can be considered areas of higher significance for the trader to consider potential future support and resistance to occur. In my experience when multiple significant technical price points cluster together in a tight range, these can be good areas to control risk in entries for rejoining an established trend at the conclusion of a retracement.

For anyone out there that is familiar with Bryce Gilmore's book "Trading to Win", this indicator will be recognised as highly aligned with his method of trading. The indicator utilizes an XABCD marking system, also common in other methods of TA.

Inbuilt algorithms detect when price points are invalidated by market movement so as not to display irrelevant price levels wherever possible.

Reporting of price points and swing measurements are all displayed on the screen and can be toggled on and off using the toolbar for all swing degrees and price level types.

The indicator options provide an exhaustive list of configuration options for tolerances and customized ratios for the user's preference.



Who's it for?

It's for anyone that appreciates the art of tracking swings (especially in multiple degrees simultaneously) for understanding the unfolding strength/weakness and identifying significant price points relevant to changing market structure and controlled risk market entries. This indicator is for any market and any time frame.

On it's own, I think that this indicator has value if only used for the automatic swing identification for the purpose of tracking of previous highs and lows and trendlines that are in play for support and resistance. The indicator looks far back so there have been many a time where it has identified or reminded me of a far-back price point that I would have overlooked without it.

That said, once swings are actually identified, they can be used for the generation of other price points of which the indicator offers many. Geoking can be used effectively for a small spectrum of technical identification or the whole lot, whatever the trader chooses. The settings for GeoKing are all exposed to the chart template so saving the chart template means the settings will persist on reload.


This Thread

The plan is to drop in and out here as time permits to share features and uses for the indicator, post by post. If there is interest, I would be delighted to answer your questions.


Happy trading!

wow, this indicator is great! Thank you for sharing it! Are you still developing it? It would be great if you could expand on the manual a bit when you have the time and opportunity!?

Thanks for posting your indicator.

I went to your youtube channel and saw there was only the one video.

I would be interested in seeing you post more videos.



(Perhaps, live trading, or a journal of your trading on NexusFI?)

I agree with you. I am very interested in seeing how the creator of such a good tool puts it into practice. I am using the indicator. I like how it works and how it fits my way of operating. But I would like to see how the creator uses it. Congratulations to him for such a good job.

This reply is very late sorry. Hopefully you are still using the indicator and getting some value.

I am not trading anymore. I was trading FX professionally for a number of years, I had a licensed fund in Australia. Prior to going professional, after years of trading, I identified that I was a good technical analyst but had no patience for the fundamentals. Over time I realised the importance of fundamentals and that they simply could not be ignored if my trading was to be reliable.

For this reason, I found a partner who was a very good fundamental analyst and he also had a bulletproof psychology for managing large trades without emotional attachment. We were trading positions sizes in the 100's of millions at one stage. My role was to feed him technical sup/res zones which increased the likelihood of finding reversals. When overlayed with a well-researched fundamental bias, this was a winning strategy.

So, to your question. I would setup GK on the Daily, 4h and 1H charts. Firstly adjusting the autoswing by eye and ensuring the last few swings in each degree were the right ones. I was always looking to identify zones where multiple technical levels where lining up in a reasonably tight range that combined the multiple timeframes. Entry a couple of points before the range starts, and stop loss a couple of points outside the other side of the zone. I found that when many technical points lined up, it increased the likelihood of a technical turn. Especially if it was to mark the continuation of the greater timeframe trend. When short term trends were going against long term direction, reversals are more powerful and can offer high R:R's.

I haven't looked at a chart for a while. But there were some overwhelmingly persistent consistencies in terms of activity at certain geometric-derived ratios. For example, the fib extensions and expansions at the 161 number were some of the most notable, likely due to profit targets. The AUD/USD used to undoubtedly favor the 77% retracement level. When combined with TL's and LIS's (line in sand (support becomes resistance and vice versa))

My trading was largely modelled on Bryce Gilmores "Trading to Win" book. If you read that book, you will know how to use this indicator and follow this philosophy. Feel free to ask any questions folks. Thanks for the positive feedback, its appreciated!
