DislikedSorry amvt My bad... I had the settings at 36 15 3 instead of 12 5 3 It is not you it's me LOL This is the zoomed out chart in question I think all the arrows are there now both indis set to 12 5 3 {image} I want to show something I have not seen yet...an anomaly, we have a red arrow after a swing high but no swing low first. Again, as above, it may be because of my higher settings {image}Ignored
