This indicator is a part of a swing strategy described as follows by users in the forum:
Swing +1 starts when a candle closes higher then the 3 candles before. And the swing -1 starts when the candle closes lower then 3 candles before. When a Fully swing has appeared (Swing 1 -> 9) it stops counting because the 10th candle is called the resting candle. If the 11th candle also closes higher then the 3 candles before the swing starts again at swing 1 (in green colour and red for -1). Also if a swing doesn’t succeed in reaching number 9, the swing has failed and an “F” letter appear above or below the candlestick.
The main purpose of this indicator is to signal a reversal. When a full swing +9 or -9 has appeared the chances of an upcoming bottom or a top increases a lot. A fully upswing +9 combined with a red 10th candle suggest to exit your long position. Its the same for a downswing -9 combined with a 10th green candle means exit your short position.
This swing counter indicator has been coded by request in the English forum. The 1 to 9 numbers distance form high or low of candlestick can be modified with the “CountDistance” setting.

hi nicolas,
I have a a question regarding the countdistance.
Since the stock have a wide range of price sometimes is quite far away or very close to the candlestick. Would it possible to change it a little to making it depending on the price the number comes under or above say 1% of the price. It will keep the number in a fixed place.
If you can make it a variable everyone can change it to ones liking.
Hope you know what i mean

Hi Nicolas,
There is a little problem in the swingcounter on the week charts.
When the weeks are not complete as in being 5 days the counter plots 2 numbers on 1 bar as you can see on the picture included. Hope you can take a look at it.

It’s a platform related problem currently being investigated.
okay thanks,
Hopefully u had a chance to check the other question too?

I’m pretty sure you can do it yourself John! Please don’t be shy 🙂
thanks for this work , quite interesting
but i would like the same thing as JohnVS , 😉
Bonjour Nicolas,
Merci pour cet indicateur. Juste une question : les chiffres “upcount” en vert ne ressortent pas sur le graphique. Est-il possible de les mettre en noir ou en bleu foncé et comment procéder ?
Merci par avance pour votre réponse.
Il faut simplement changer les codes RVB de toutes les instructions “Coloured”. Il y a des exemples dans la documentation du site :https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/coloured/
Bonjour Nicolas,
Merci pour votre réponse. Grace à celle-ci, le désagrément a été rectifié. Reste à bien utiliser votre indicateur.
Encore merci. Cdlt
Wonderfull script, thank all’s
@JohnVS
So how are things working out with this indicator 9 months later? Did it help you a lot?
I just got familiar with the Swingteller by watching some great videos featuring Nico Bakker. I also just added the indicator to ProRealtime to check it out. I see a lot more ‘F’s compared to ‘9’s, so I am really curious to know how exactly you use it.
By the way, I managed to make CountDistance percentage based. Checkout the attached code.

The F markers are nice but many seem to fail and not signal a reversal. But my main concern is the 9 limit seem to be fixed for the time frame used which can change the dynamic of price movement so whole that seems to me to be a lot of guess work. 9? why not 6 or 10 or 14. Your chart is a daily I see that ok perhaps 9 is good on a daily but what about an hourly or 30 min.
Hi, has anybody update the above code to enable on a 15m or 5m TF?
ik heb de code op mijn pro realtime gezet , en bij indicator staat hij erbij maar komt niet op mijn daggrafiek ook niet op 15 of 1 uur grafiek wat doe ik verkeerd
I have put the code on my pro realtime, and it is on the indicator, but it does not appear on my daily graph nor on 15 or 1 hour graph what am I doing wrong
