Release Notes

Stay updated on new features, improvements, and fixes for Smart Swing Indicator PRO.

v1.9 — January 2026 (Initial Release)

The first public release of Smart Swing Indicator PRO, bringing institutional-grade swing charting to TradingView.

True AND Logic — Directional bars require both higher high AND higher low (or lower high AND lower low), eliminating false signals from ambiguous bars
Multi-Day Swing Periods — Configure 1-5 consecutive bars required to confirm swing direction, filtering single-bar noise
Intelligent Outside Bar Handling — Three resolution modes (Mark as Continuation, Mark as Reversal, Skip Entirely) for complete control over OB representation
Engulfing Pattern Detection — Automatically tracks envelope boundaries when large bars contain subsequent price action
Gann's Exception Rule — Optional capture of price extremes that exceed prior swings without meeting consecutive bar requirements

14 Swing Metrics — Price, Range, Bars, Time, Volume, Velocity with Retracement (Pr, Tr, Vr) and Extension (Px, Tx, Vx) ratios
Configurable Labels — Choose up to 5 metrics per label, with customizable formatting and positioning
Rich Tooltips — Three detail levels (Minimal, Standard, Full) showing comprehensive swing data on hover

Human-Readable Alerts — Swing completion, overbalance thresholds, outside bar detection, S/R proximity
JSON Webhooks — Real-time structured data for database integration and automated systems
CSV Export — Full swing history export with timestamps, patterns, and timeframe tagging

Two Line Styles — Diagonal (angled connections) or Rectangular (traditional step pattern)
Dynamic Window Drawing — Performance optimization rendering only visible chart area
Bar Pattern Highlighting — Visual distinction for inside bars and outside bars

Bug fixes for Outside Bar + Engulfing edge cases and a performance optimization.

OB inside engulfing envelope — Outside bars occurring inside engulfing envelopes no longer cause swing lines to cut through bar bodies. Swing lines now correctly extend to the OB extreme before reversing.
False engulfing detection — Single IB → reversal sequences are no longer incorrectly absorbed by engulfing mode. Distance-based detection with OB-aware thresholds prevents false triggers while preserving genuine engulfing patterns.
Penetrating OB reclassification — Bars classified as outside bars relative to small inside bars within an engulfing envelope — but that don't actually exceed the envelope boundaries — are now correctly reclassified as directional bars. Fixes daily charts where Engulfing ON/OFF behaved identically.

Conditional alert/export scan — The swing history scan loop now only runs when at least one alert, CSV export, or webhook feature is enabled. When all are disabled (the default), the scan is skipped entirely for faster chart rendering.

Chronological validation for higher timeframes and CSV export reliability.

HTF chronological validation — On Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly charts, "Mark as Reversal" mode now validates the chronological order of extremes within each bar. If the sequence doesn't support a reversal interpretation (e.g., a yearly bar where the low occurred before the high in an uptrend), the indicator automatically falls back to "Mark as Continuation" mode. Ensures time metrics remain accurate.
CSV Export: BarIndex column — New column for correlating swings with specific chart bars in external analysis tools.

CSV export data integrity — Fixed swing data repeating on every bar instead of only on the confirmation bar.
HTF negative time values — Fixed negative T, Tr, and Tx values on Weekly/Monthly/Quarterly/Yearly charts.
Continuous contract timestamps — Fixed exact extreme dates not displaying correctly on continuous contracts (ES1!, CL1!) by switching from exact price matching to closest-price matching for daily data lookup.

Calendar-based velocity metrics and alert system enhancements.

Calendar Velocity (VelC) — New velocity calculation based on real-world time (range ÷ calendar days), complementing the existing bar-based velocity. Includes VelC-r (retracement) and VelC-x (extension) ratios.
Intelligent time display — Velocity adapts units by timeframe: /d for daily+, /h for hourly, /m for sub-hourly charts.
Velocity alerts — New Vel-x (extension) and Vel-r (retracement) overbalance alerts with configurable mode (Calendar, Trading Bars, or Both).
Alert tooltips — Descriptive tooltips added to all alert inputs explaining what each monitors.

Engulfing logic refinements and time attribution accuracy.

Engulfing ON/OFF parity — ON and OFF modes now behave identically when all bars inside envelope are same-direction (continuation). OFF only differs when an opposite-direction bar appears inside the envelope.
Swing extension inside envelope — Continuation bars now correctly update the swing extreme even when skipped by engulfing logic.
OB + IB + breakout regression — Fixed sequence where OB followed by IB then breakout was triggering engulfing reversal instead of OB continuation.
Intraday time attribution — Fixed "waiting time" inside engulfing envelopes being pushed to the following swing. Intraday now uses confirmation bar timestamp.
Current range time calculation — Now uses swing start time with current time for accurate live duration.
Time display cleanup — Shows native units (e.g., "6h" not "6h (0.25d)"). Days conversion only shown for swings ≥ 24 hours.

Universal fix for engulfing envelope behavior.

Premature reversal inside engulfing envelope — Fixed large OBs followed by IBs triggering reversal when a bar changed direction, even while still inside the OB's range.
Engulfing OFF drawing inconsistency — Fixed OFF mode drawing swings differently from ON mode for same-direction bars inside envelopes.
