Ben's Swing Trading Strategy + Indicator

I wouldn't call this a course. My goal is zero fluff. I will jump right into my current watchlist, tell you the ThinkorSwim indicator that I'm using, and past trade setups to help you understand my swing trading strategy.

I'm Interested

@corello No repainting man. That's why confirmation of the move is vital. Right now I'm using the CCI on the 2000t as well as candlestick patterns for confirming signals.
 
@blakecmathis - this might be a stupid question but this lingo for the studies is new to me :)

In this image - Wavetrend is the green line (that displays the arrows) and FE is the yellow/gold line, correct?

@blakecmathis What timeframe does that POC indicator calculate from? Looks useful.

Also, as a nerd, I would love to know what indicator it is (exactly) that is being used - the one that is not the Laguerre, out of the two that you overlayed.

@dolomick Its just the standard TPO Profile that is already in ThinkorSwim. Daily time frame on the 1000t and weekly on the 2000t. I just don't like all the other noise so I deleted all the code to just show the POC. That study is some kind of RSI oscillator that I found on one of the forums in here although I cant remember the exact name.
 
Figured this was worth a share. I got tired of the 5-10 minute delay of the news source in TOS awhile a go and started using a news feed called Redbox Global (https://www.redboxglobal.com). It is the fastest feed I have found. I don't trade the news but this will tell you why these giant 10-20 point swings are happening within minutes. And the feed is reported when it happens with zero delay.

DPL @ 3091.50 I will be watching this price point very very closely in the upcoming days. Either as support or resistance.
