Understanding Pressure and Entry Timing with the SwingArm System
When it comes to making smart entry decisions, understanding candle pressure is essential. In trading, pressure builds over time—especially during periods of price consolidation. This stored energy eventually leads to a breakout, often triggering a directional move that offers high-probability entry opportunities. The key is to identify when that buildup is occurring and when it’s about to release.
The SwingArm set of tools, along with select TradingView studies, is designed to help traders visually measure this pressure buildup and act with confidence when the breakout begins.
My approach is rooted in tracking pressure over time using three main tools:
A study that reflects long-term pressure trends.
Another that captures intermediate-term pressure.
A third that focuses on 15-minute pressure, but is visualized on a 30-second chart to provide faster, more precise signals.
These multi-timeframe views allow me to see the energy forming within the market and anticipate when a breakout is likely. To enhance this further, I combine these with an ABC pattern recognition system, which provides alerts as setups develop—often just before the energy release.
One of the most powerful signals in this methodology is the 15-minute candle pressure shift alert. This signal often marks the start of a larger move, giving traders an opportunity to enter right as the pressure transitions into momentum.
By layering these tools together—pressure analysis, multi-timeframe confirmation, and pattern-based alerts—the SwingArm system creates a structured, high-probability framework for capturing moves throughout the trading session.
