A Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) is a trade setup in which big traders hunt stop-losses above a key swing high or below a key swing low for the purpose of generating the liquidity needed to push price in the opposite direction.
When price 1) pierces above a key swing high but then 2) closes back below that swing high, we have a potential bearish SFP. Bearish SFPs offer opportunities for short trades. When price 1) dumps below a key swing low but then 2) closes back above that swing low, we have a potential bullish SFP. Bullish SFPs offer opportunities for long trades.

I keep getting multiple alerts about symbols I didn't select in the settings such as Symbol CADCHF not valid or not selected in Market Watch. Please enter correct name. Giving good review in the hopes that I will get a prompt reply!
So it's still not working. It is now saying I have the incorrect timeframe format- timeframe not valid. It's showing zero patterns and I have all on market watch selected so that's most unlikely!
