Ray didn't named the system 'BS' :doh: for nothing.

CHAPTER 5
FORMULAS FOR CONSTRUCTING
1
[b]BARROS SWING [/b]CONSTRUCTION
The smallest swing in any timeframe is the 1 period. In the [b]BS[/b] these are drawn differently
to the other swings in the same timeframe.
1-Period Swings
To draw a 1-period swing start at an extreme low or high. For the purposes of this
illustration, let’s assume we start from a low.
FIGURE 1 Dow Jones Industrial, Cash, Daily
In the chart above, let’s say we start the swing on Mar 12th, from the low we draw the line
its high and continue to do so until Fri Mar 21st. On Monday we have a low below the
previous day’s low. Accordingly we draw the line down from the high of Fri to the low of
Monday and continue to do so until we get a day where the high exceeds the previous
day’s high. At that point we draw the line up and so on.
Inside days are ignored.
For outside day’s the drawing of the line is delayed until the day following the outside
day – if the high of the outside is exceeded, we draw the line up; if the low is exceeded
we draw the line down.
CHAPTER 5
FORMULAS FOR CONSTRUCTING
2
Periods Greater Than 1
3-period: Using the same data. We start from the low and turn the line up when:
we exceed the highest high of the past 3 days (including today) + 10% of
the adjacent 1-period swing
FIGURE 2 Dow Jones Industrials, Cash, Daily
In Figure 2, the magenta lines represent 1-period swings. At the completion of trading on
Wed Mar 12th, the 3-d line will turn up on breach of highest high of the past 3 days (incl.
Today) viz, 7739.4 + 60 (10% of the 1 period swing which was 600.35 points).
The line will continue up until the market takes out a low that is the lowest low of the past
3 days +10% of the adjacent 1-period swing.
Reverse to turn the line down.
5-period: The same principles apply except that the filter used is 10% of the
adjacent 3-period swing and the line turns when the 5-period extreme is exceeded + 10%
of the adjacent 3-period swing.
Note that this means that for every timeframe, we first need to calculate the 1-period
swing irrespective of the swing size we are considering.
CHAPTER 5
FORMULAS FOR CONSTRUCTING
3
ADDITIONAL RULES
To circumvent the situation where the market fails to move sufficiently to turn the line
because it fails to reach the filter, there are two additional rules.
1) The swings (except for the 3-d) represent 1-p swings of high timeframes e.g.
the 5-daily swing represented the 1-period weekly. Hence any time we turn
the 1-period weekly line, the 5-d line must also turn.
At the end of this chapter, I have outlined the various relationships.
2) For a down swing, the price at which the line turns up can move down but
not up; in an up swing, the price at which the line turns down can move up
but not down.
e.g. Let’s says the line has been going up and we are looking to turn the line
down. The lowest low of the past 5 days is 100 and the 10% filter is 10. The price at
which the line would turn would be (100 –10) = 90
The next day the market moves down and gets to 97. In other words it exceeds
the low at 100 but fails to reach the low minus the filter price at 90. The question is:
at what price would the line now turn?
Because of this rule the price remains frozen at 90; otherwise it would be 97 – 10 =
87.
PERIOD RELATIONSHIPS
DAILY DATA
05-d = 1-p weekly
18d= 1-p monthly
WEEKLY DATA
13-W = 1-P QUARTERLY
MONTHLY
12-M = 1 PERIOD YEARLY
30-M = 1 PERIOD 2.5 YEARS
60m = 1 PERIOD 5-YEARLY

Just started reading his book and it mentions the buy zones and sell zone. The book is a little complicated. I am not a wave kind of guy, but I like the structure of his thinking and approach to trend and trend termination.

I can't seem to find any ninjatrader plugins for the barros swings or ray waves or market profile. Does anyone know of any?

 

The Ray Wave is more of a technique, not a plug-in. There is Barros Swing code for ESignal, Tradestation and Market Analyst.

    • re TikTok Recently metafakebook made what was apparently a move to stay aligned with ‘culture’ - no more fact ‘checking’, no more censorhip... basically ‘Zucker’ was shown that his mission was failing because they were only building profiles on ‘useful idiots’ instead of those who oppose the great centralization  (... just like long ago he only saw campus potential and had to be shown the promise and rewarded for fronting the great spyware and social engineering project called Fakebook)... ie they could have replaced him long ago In the same vein, who holds ‘title’ to tiktok doesn’t matter either... it will remain a spyware project regardless of who ‘buys’ it... and the data will forever be available to the CCP Just sayin’

    • Date: 20th January 2025.   The NASDAQ Rises As Trump Inauguration Edges Closer!   US indices increased in value for the first time after struggling for 5 consecutive weeks. Of the main US indices the NASDAQ witnessed the strongest gains (4.12%). Risk indicators point to a higher risk appetite under the new US President, Donald Trump. President Trump's inauguration will take place this afternoon and has promised to sign over 100 consecutive orders within his first week. NASDAQ - Higher Investor Confidence! NASDAQ traders begin to stomach less frequent interest rate adjustments, the market turns its attention to earnings and Trump’s presidency. Investors are becoming more bullish under expectations that Trump will apply policies to support the US economy and entice further investment into the US stock market. A "risk-on" sentiment is evident in today's sessions, reflected in risk indicators like the VIX, High-Low Index, and Bond yields.     Investors this week will concentrate on two factors. The first factor is Trump’s consecutive orders which he has advised will be signed within his first week. Investors will closely monitor how and if these policies influence the US economy and stocks. The second factor is earnings season, which will start to gain momentum this week. Tomorrow, Netflix will release its quarterly earnings report after the market closes. Netflix is the NASDAQ’s 10th most influential company and 11th most impactful stock. Analysts expect the company’s earnings per share to drop from $5.40 to $4.21, but for Revenue to rise to $10.11 Billion. If Netflix is able to beat the earnings per share and revenue expectations, fundamental elections would indicate a rise in the price. Over the past 12 months the price has risen 76%. A further increase would further support the NASDAQ. Thereafter, investors will turn their attention to Intuitive Surgical’s earnings report. Currently, investors believe the company’s earnings per share and revenue will rise compared to the previous quarter. Intuitive’s stock has risen by more than 9% in the past week alone indicating that investors believe the company will continue to beat earnings expectations. The company has beat expectations over the past 12-months. How are Markets Reacting to Trump's inauguration? Trump pledged to issue executive orders aimed at advancing artificial intelligence programs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). Analysts expect these two alone to support US stocks. However, investors are not yet certain to what extent upcoming tariffs will pressure the NASDAQ and stocks. During the previous trade wars, the NASDAQ fell by 25% over a period of 4-months. Traders also should note that the NASDAQ rose in the 6-weeks after Trump won the elections. Over the past week, the VIX index fell by more than 12% indicating that the market believes US stocks will perform well under a Trump presidency. Simultaneously, US Bond yields have fallen from 4.80% to 4.58% which is known to positively influence the US stock market. Both the VIX and lower bond yields indicate higher investor confidence as Trump advises that policies will prompt more employment, US made products and more pro-US policies. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis The price of the NASDAQ trades above the 200-bar Moving Average on a 5-minute Chart indicating bullish price movement. Moving Averages have also crossed over upwards and the price trades above the VWAP indicating that the asset is maintaining its bullish momentum. Price action is also forming clear higher highs and higher lows, but investors will be cautious if the price does not find resistance at the $21,637 resistance level. In order to break above this level, investors will be hoping for positive earnings data from Netflix and Intuitive.     Key Takeaways: President Trump's inauguration will take place this afternoon with promise to sign over 100 consecutive orders within his first week. US indices rise after 5 weeks of declines, with the NASDAQ leading at 4.12%. Trump pledged to issue executive orders aimed at advancing artificial intelligence programs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency. Analysts expect Netflix earnings per share to drop from $5.40 to $4.21, but for Revenue to rise to $10.11 Billion. Investors are becoming more bullish under expectations that President Trump will apply policies to support the US economy and entice further investment into the US stock market.

    • Consider: some 80% of small to medium-sized businesses around the world don’t have a website.   Many businesses in emerging economies rely on social media platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook) as their primary digital presence instead of formal websites.   But even in more digitally advanced economies, the number can hover around half.   Why? Simple answer: although we’ve made it easier to make a website, it’s still not easy enough.   Let’s say a yoga instructor wants to offer online classes but lacks tech skills or a budget.   Instead of struggling with confusing platforms, she tells her AI agent, “Set up a website for me to host yoga classes.”   The AI handles everything.   It integrates Stripe for payments, Zoom for live classes, scheduling services for in-person classes, and a chat module for inquiries.   It even suggests templates.   When the instructor picks one and asks for a purple and white color scheme, the AI updates it instantly.   No coding. No frustration. Just results.   And the best part? She didn’t have to touch a single screen or key.   This is the future Wilson describes in Age of Invisible Machines.   And, as mentioned, it’s powered by three core technologies:   Conversational User Interfaces (CUIs): Say what you need; the system handles it. From building websites to booking flights, it’s fast and human-like.   Composable Architecture: Traditional business solutions become “modules”. Like LEGO bricks, modular tools—payments, chats, scheduling—snap together to create custom solutions without starting from scratch.   No-Code Programming: AI agents code for you, empowering anyone to create without needing a developer. It’s not just a better way to interact with technology…   It’s a complete reimagining of how industries operate.   As Harvard Business School’s Marco Iansiti says, “This isn’t disruption—it’s a fundamental shift in production and interaction.”   And, the thing is…   It’s not just possible. It’s already happening.   Early examples are already here. – Chris Campbell, AltucherConfidential Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/ 
    • Question: My name is Omobola Sikiru from Lagos, Nigeria. I am mechanical engineering. Where can I find someone that can be my helper to relocate me to the USA?   Answer: According to your own profile, you are trying to enter other countries through deception and immigration fraud.   You are an engineer in Nigeria, but you are not licensed as an engineer in any other country.   There are no helpers, no sponsors, and nobody is going to give you money, get you an engineering job, or get you a visa.   You must qualify to immigrate. Nobody can help you with that.   Either you qualify and have settling in money, or you don’t.   You need to improve your English before trying to get a job in a Western, English speaking country. Engineers write reports. You wrote, ‘I am mechanical engineering’. Nobody will hire you if you write like this.
