SWING•GENIE CYCLES (TOP PANEL - OVERLAYS PRICE CHART)
Changing any indicator input values allows you to adjust your indicators to optimize them for changing market conditions and your trading style.
Many new users have encountered very complicated and crowded, sometime overlaping charts. Reducing the number of background flags or turning them all off will clear up your charts. Most of the background flags where intended to be utilized as needed and on a temporary basis. Using the merge and underage function can separate indicators so they each reside in a seperate indicator pane. See (T) above.

• ARRANGING INDICATORS ON YOUR CHART -
MERGING AND UNMERGING •
It is very easy to arrange your indicators on your Tradingview charts.
Click on the small triangle next to your indicator's name. This will drop down a menu that allows the user to 1) Move Up the indicator into the next indicator panel above. 2) Move Down the indicator into the next indicator panel below. Both of these options produce new trading indicator panels so that they will exist in their own indicator panel. 3) Merge Up and 4) Merge Down moves the current indicator into the panel with other indicators. You then use the format icons next to your indicator name to selectively turn them on or off. These are described in the Formatting You Indicators in the section above this one.
• TURN OFF THE CENTER CONSOLIDATION LINE FOR THE EARLY WARNING SYSTEM INDICATOR WHEN THE TIME FRAME YOU ARE VIEWING CHARTS IN IS LESS THAN 1 DAY •
Below are two examples of a chart with this consolidation line on. 1) is a daily chart of the symbol QQQ. 2) is a 15-minute chart of the same symbol. The center demarcation line when toggled on to indicated periods of consolidation can obscure critical information in your chart at any time frame below 1 DAY and you are better served by turning it off in shorter time frames.
There is also the option of turning on a background flags ((20) in the format panel) to indicate periods of consolidation. This is great when attempting to ascertain if your stock is within a period of consolidation and occurs at the apex or vertex of a parabolic swing.

MY SWING•GENIE CHART SETUP
I have always utilized black backgrounds on my charts. I find that this configuration allows me to design color schemes that allow the focus to be entirely on the data being illustrated.
If you have any ideas or suggestion that you feel would improve either the indicators or how this instruction and formatting page could be improved please use the contact link below and share your insights with us. Thanks!
