Swing Logic

This parameter has three settings available:

 

ATR Multiple: The minimum swing size will be determined based upon a multiple of ATR that you define. This is the most flexible option since the logic will automatically transition when you change symbols and/or bar intervals.

 

Point Move: The minimum swing size will be based upon a point move that you define.

 

Percent Move: The minimum swing size will be based upon a percent move that you define.

 

The default is ATR Multiple.
