Gann Swing High Low is a great indicator. Especially for new traders. I have used this tool effectively on a different platform and it is extremely useful through its simplicity. I would like to offer a suggestion for those who may put this tool to use. It may be obvious to some but maybe not so much to others..... Add two more of the same indicator to the price chart for a Multi-Time Frame view makes the Signals which break in conjunction with other periods very strong. Example for Daily chart use three Gann Swing High Low indicators with 30, 90, 120 for your periods. Also, when the indicator with the shortest period breaks, use the medium and longer period indicators as targets as price will respect their respective values and usually bounces off of them. Another effective use is to use horizontal markers (horizontal lines marking price) where the indicator "switches" to mark the breaks. Use the price OPEN for exact marker level. These levels will prove very very useful as Support/Resistance in the future. ESPECIALLY if the short and medium period breaks occur at the same time. That would be a clear indication of a very important price level to watch price action bias. Hope this helps.

Excellent input...Thanks. Question for you.
Would a traditional GANN Follower typically use certain settings? Or would you say it's more like traders who use moving averages...meaning a short term trader might use a 8 and 13 EMA while a long term trader might use a 50 and 200 SMA?
Just interested in you perspective since you've used the indicator before.

Great question. The easiest reply would be to apply it as a trader would use moving averages. And I would highly recommend periods 13, 21, 55, 89. Traders preference of any two. I find 13 and 55 extremely useful for most instruments. This is where the most action takes place. Eliminates the noise on the front and the backsides of entries/exits.

This has been implemented as a STUDY which gives the graphs/lines/indicators.
How would this be changed into a STRATEGY so it could produce the Strategy Tester results?
I am new to PineScript and trying to learn as much as possible to get into the "useful" category.

Also, another trick I have learned to do that works especially well with the Trading View platform involves using the Renko bar. Start with a standard price chart and add the CM Gann Swing High Low indicator. Change the price chart view to Renko ((one click to the right of the traditional price bar view in the TV tool bar)). Now mark the break points of the indicator at the CLOSE of the highlighted candle. I like to use the Horizontal Ray tool in this methodology. The reason why will present itself in a the next step. Now switch back to the traditional price bar view and you will see how useful this really is!!! Thought I would share a very effective method of using Trading View tools.

Is this a good example?

Here, using the same instrument with same settings I made some notations that should help understand what to do with the Gann Swing HL V2 indicator while in Renko bar mode. After these elements are added, switch back to traditional price chart. I used yellow markers for Sell and Sky Blue for Buy. There is one special notation indicating an overlap of a Buy and a Sell signal offered by the indicator bar highlighter option that creates basically a reliable Supply and Demand line. Plus there is an additional single red marker placed at a Renko bar trend change. The use of this is seen when price is switched back to traditional price chart mode. When traders see the element of disparity between Renko and Traditional perhaps it will assist in understanding how a traditional price chart is just raw data. We need to be able to extrapolate the data, smooth the data, so it is legible and therefore more easily interpreted. Raw price data is not on a singular plane (horizontal). Raw price data is always revolving/rotating/vortexing around an axis. That axis changes its orientation to vertical much like a spinning top...but always rotating! Renko helps us by putting price back on a singular plane to which we can apply our drawing tools or oscillators in a more trustworthy/reliable fashion. Fortunately, Trading View makes this relationship easy to see.
