Hello MM,

Well, as a long term user of P&F charts and a desire to shorter term trade with something a bit more responsive, the first time I saw a chart with swing lines I was very excited. I also like to have as many rules as possible (just my nature<g>).

Looking for swing charts with actual lines (I'm a visual type) I found Robert Krausz's articles in TAofS&C a good start. He has specific rules for swing line construction, entry and exit.

I've got a ton of charts in TC2000 that I've hand drawn in the swing lines using his algorithm. Then I would back test a bit. But - I found that always needing two higher highs or lows misses many swings until it's too late. For that reason I liked what I saw on Teresa's chart and stole a couple of her set ups (I guess they may be hers or Dunnigans). So my charts are a combination of Gann and TL. Krausz now offers a program for TC2000 but I don't like the swing algorithm so I won't buy it.

I see you posted some advanced code on your other Dunnigan thread. I fall into the real grenn horn with programs and testing. I did create a couple of very simple scans in TC2000 to catch Gann swings and TL swings.

Drawing these by hand is getting old<g>. I'm also having trouble getting whipped on tops and bottoms. I know you've mentioned that Dunnigan has some ideas/rules here and I'll probably purchase his book.

Regarding his book, I have Kaufman's Trading Systems and Methods. Way over my head but he does review Dunnigans work -- and, well have you read it?

Thanks and take care,

Eric
