Here is an example of where the add to trade on present open trade when PA goes against you and a new swing point is formed in the same direction.
In this case it went very badly against you and 2 swing addons and 1 fractal addon were added.
Normally you probably would not let it go this far against you but here you can see the addons have turned this very bad losing trade so far into a winner.
Now that an opposite swing point has formed and if it stays until the present candle closes the trade will close as a winner on this opposite swing signal.
Its important when using this method not to trade large lots unless you have a very large account as you need to have room for draw down and added trades that may add to your draw down for a period of time.
In this test I have the DB on the D1 and I see I have missed some trades, next week I will move it to the H4 with the pair charts still on the H1.

Wow - a man gets busy for a few days and suddenly there's heaps to catch up on!
Thanks for the latest Indie Gene - much appreciated.
My Core5 entry stopped out as a loss with the original swing point being a fakey and repainting
The setup did take another trade which is also in trouble

both Swing and Semafor swimming in the RED sea at this time.
What's worst, I turned off the SL on my DB (i really want to check how bad the DD will go and of course, the Add-to swing/semafor in action) and it closed some in the process.
I even turned off 'Auto-Trading' before turning the SL off but the DB still closed the pairs (that's weird ha?).
Yes, it closed the pairs that had some added trades on it
** Also, DB showing 30 SLs on AUDUSD and 32 on GBPNZD, is for sure a glitch.

This week I am comparing the 3 level semafor to the swing to see if one is better than the other. I have been running them on H1 charts with the same settings and just letting them run, here are the settings I am using. The swing takes a few more trades then the semafor, so far the swing looks better. Running 24/5, set and forget, just one day so far. 1) Charts = H1 2) DB = D1 3) Look back or Window as I now call it now = 5 4) HAS = 1,1,1,1 Color change with Lock 5) Add To Trade = true, 1,5 6) Marty = true 7) Use opposite swing/semafor exit depending...

here's another example of the add-ons feature on the Semafor.
again, my max is at 10, so currently, it added 8 already.
** Reminder to trade using small lots or you can turn Marty to 'false' so that the add-ons will be just the original lot size OR make your add-on Max to a lower number.
OR even better, use the Swing instead

I have closed the H4 Core5 setup
I have set up the swing / Has on all single pairs just prior to the London open, set the TP to $50 for a oneNdone and woke up this morning to a little bit of profit.
The H1 seems to work a lot better than the H4 for some reason.
Also using add to trade with each swing and marty is activated.
Interestingly the DD was the same as the profit so you can easily get into trouble if you use higher lotsizes as others have mentioned.
