blackFLAG FTS - SwingArm Trend Indicator using ATRTrailing Stop and Fibonacci Retracements

[[deleted]13]

@lowtrade I am not sure of which clouds you are referring to. There a couple. Some from the swingarm and there are others from either daily, weekly or monthly support or resistance created by the average price movement indicator

the clouds from the APM Tool are only set to display in certain charts. Otherwise you end up with too much information making it hard to read.

If the 1min time frame is the only sell zone but my 5, 10, 30 1hr and 4hr are buy zones would that be an optimal entry assuming the 1 min will catch up or an i looking for higher time frames hitting those zone 3 and 4's?

 

[lowtrade]

I'm talking about Zone2, Zone3 and Zone4 clouds. I would like to see my Daily chart same as my 15 minute chart.

Always, "SEEK TO UNDERSTAND"... All the greatest coaches have taught me. Ok. Now, I do. lol.

Ok, in that case, if you want that to occur on the daily chart, the tool must have enough data to calculate those zones 2, 3, and 4. Increase the number of days to the daily (days to include) until it displays the way you want.

@Zeppelin Correct. You must have a live account to use them.

@fjr1300 understood thank you

Edit- Also when I switch between time intervals on the charts, the 1m 15m and 4hr give me an chart alert in the top left corner. is that signaling me something I need to know about what the chart is telling me? I have not set any alerts for the charts.

@Zeppelin When I inputed the studies in i noticed the same thing, not sure if it's the older code or the newest ones. If you go to the swingarm study and go to the settings you have to change the color on the fibonachi to white. That's what I did and it outlines it clearly. Sorry to but in but hope this helps as it did for me. Thanks

Thanks @luiscervantes30 for the input.

@fjr1300 I have the 1min and 5min and found where the one seems to of been off on getting out of a trade since the 5min didnt show the swing arm breaking. But the header at the top states to use the 5m to see if bull or bearish and then to place trade off of 1m. for this reason should we use higher time frames for staying in trades and not getting the wrong signals?

@Zeppelin Please do not place any live trades based on what you have posted above. The system was developed for futures. While it works on Stock it will not have the same criteria. By the way, the message on the top banner / left has been updated. So, you need to update your system. Take the time to educate yourself by watching the videos... All of them. I will help you start to get your mind around the process. Good luck.

@fjr1300 what is the title of the code I need to update on your website so I will know what to look for? Also I have watched all of your videos and read this whole thread and am still trying to learn. I know you said that the arms was created for futures but can you explain or maybe make a video detailing what criteria is needed for stocks? I will be trading with a cash account for options starting out to build up to get out of the pdt so I can switch over to a margin. Or should I just trade futures options and not stocks with this for better success? Thank you for your guidance.

Does anyone have a good guide to the volume profile tool? I have never used this. Firstly I would to darken the opacity of the volume bars if possible. I can't see it too well. Also I see the indicator changes values particularly the "point of control " based on how many days you display on your charts. Is this most commonly used on a chart displaying only one day of data?

All beginner traders should start on a paper account. Risking working capital regardless of the amount is not the way. Get an understanding of the process prior to going live.

Reviewing ES Activity this morning one chart at a time. Please take your time to study the material provided. Watch all videos, there are hours and hours of free training being provided. If you do not understand, rewind, and do it all over again. The questions that I am getting tells me that many are jumping into trading live without any idea of what they are doing. You are responsible for your actions. THIS IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE. If you do not do your homework and learn before you run, you will experience lots of pain and losses. IT IS UP TO YOU HOW YOU DO IT. The easy way or the hard way.

Taking profits as the 10 Min. Turned over from overbought.

Good to know, thanks.

@fjr1300
Is there a place to find the criteria for stocks? I'm interested to see how it would work on a 2-5m chart.

I agree that is why I am only paper trading at this time. I was just trying to find out what criteria would be different for trading stocks. Was you not looking at FB or AAPL in one of your educational videos as an example? To me, it would be more affordable to purchase those contracts with a smaller account, then the /ES. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you for your reply

Thank you for the updated response. I am happy you are working on a paper account to start with. Awesome. Regarding futures, as you start, you can use the micro for ES. The symbol is /MES it has a much smaller capital requirement for you to learn with.

I would like to be alerted when the swing arms breaks bullish on any ticker in my watchlist . Is there a way to do that. I've only seen alerts put on individual tickers
