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

[murkr]

@kuvala I have no issue either.

I got a question when I switch between different time intervals I hear bell alert going off. I'm not sure exactly what's triggering this alert. How can I find it to disable it?

@fjr1300 Been trading futures for 5 years using fibs, MA's and trend lines. Started using your swing arm indicator a few weeks ago and I've been able to ditch the fibs and MA's. It's terrific. Thank you again.

Trying to understand what it's a combo of -- fibs, Hull and pivots?

@murkr Look at your Message Center tab. It will show you the alert and where it's coming from.

All, After I started using the SwingArm indicators, my TOS charts became very slow in loading different instruments and also getting lag in streaming data. Anyone else having this problem, and any suggestions to have this resolved ? Appreciate any suggestions/comments.

In your TOS installation folder is another folder called USERGUI. Delete this folder once a week and then start TOS. It will restart slower than usual because it is rebuilding the folder. The folder stores short term memory and can get clogged up easily.

I like this indicator using a 4 min chart with a 4 hour indicator overlaid. Very cool indicator!

Curious about some strategies that you guys use. When there is a swingarm breakdown/breakup: do you immediately start to scale into a position and then add-on if it starts to back test into the buy bucket, or do you wait until it starts to back test into the buy bucket to start taking positions?

@hotwins @graf Already shared it here, just have to read through the entire thread.

I added the (my tools) to the top of my chart but when I cycle through the different time intervals they are all black. I have to scroll to the left to see the actual chart. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm guessing I have to select some kind of "auto-align" somewhere

Is the AMM 2.0 good to use with this?

@murkr thank you....!!!!

Go to chart settings/ time axis and reduce the bars to the right number. I think that is what you are talking about.....

Depending on the timeframe you use, I've added a 50 fib to the code because it tends to bounce off it as well.

@chewie76 I like the 3 min nd 1 min . some times 5min

Adding the 50% zone defeats the purpose of the strategy. The goal is to force the price to come to you to a location with a higher probability of success. You are now coming to price by using the 50% level. Take the time to study before making assumptions and changes without understanding what is that the tools do for you and why. Good luck and enjoy the journey.

Nice grid setup. Would you mind sharing that chart setup? I like using a two and four grid setup. Thanks!

Apparently, I was overthinking the secondary indicators to check the Swingarm previously. I have gone back to a simple moving average crossover to filter out most false signals on a 1 minute chart. As you can see below every false LONG/SHORT break is filtered out by the cross over. I am using a 10 120 but you can use anything you want. Swingarm zone's give you a precise entry, and the MA crossovers keep you on the right side of the market overall (for those less experienced with price action trading. This would probably work even better on longer time frames.
