Habib Akiki delivering a live webinar on how to use the Avramis Swing Indicator

Summary

The webinar presents the Avramis Swing Indicator as a trend-following tool for identifying market tops and bottoms, trend direction, reversals, and potential entries. Its central aim is to make trend analysis more objective, rather than relying on a trader’s subjective choice of swing highs and lows. The presenter says the indicator draws these levels, identifies setups across multiple timeframes, and can scan instruments for signals.

Trading Framework

• Identify the trend: An uptrend is defined by higher tops and higher bottoms; a downtrend by lower tops and lower bottoms. If one part of that sequence fails, the trend is considered weak. A break of the prior opposing swing level is treated as a reversal.
• Use one of three entry types:
  1. Trend reversal: Enter when a weak trend is invalidated—for example, after a downtrend fails to make a lower bottom and price breaks above the prior top.
  2. Breakout or trend confirmation: Enter on a break above the previous top in an uptrend, or the equivalent breakdown in a downtrend.
  3. Wave or trend continuation: In an established trend, wait for a correction to support or resistance, then look for reversal evidence. Examples include a lower-timeframe trend reversal or one or two large candles in the trend direction.
• Set the trade levels: The indicator is said to display the entry, stop-loss, and targets automatically. The presentation also describes projecting Fibonacci levels from the prior swing, using 161.8% and 261.8% extensions as Targets 1 and 2. It mentions 423.6% as a third target for experienced traders.
• Manage the position: The recommended default is to close 50% at Target 1, move the stop to the entry price, and hold the remaining half for Target 2. The presenter advises against relying on Target 3 as a routine objective.
• Avoid range-bound markets: The method is described as trend-following, and the indicator is said not to generate entries when the market is ranging.

Signal Assessment and Risk Management

The webinar describes a signal-strength score based on factors including swing quality, trend slope, technical-indicator confirmation, momentum extremes, and the direction of higher timeframes. The cited tools are:

• Linear regression channel or price channel
• 55-period exponential moving average (EMA 55)
• MACD, with its zero line as an equilibrium reference
• Momentum oscillators to identify overbought or oversold conditions
• Higher-timeframe trend direction

The presenter says trends with an approximately 45° slope are preferable. Very steep trends may lose momentum, while very flat trends may behave more like ranges.

The score is presented as a way to adjust exposure, not as a guarantee of success. For example, if the trader’s baseline risk is $100, the presenter suggests risking $80 on a score of 8 and $10, or skipping the trade, on a score of 1.

A further conservative sizing rule offered is 0.1 lot per $10,000 of account equity, or 1 lot per $100,000. The presenter emphasizes that leverage does not determine how much a trader should risk and cautions against excessive leverage.

On risk/reward, the presenter says that taking half the position at each of the first two targets produces a stated reward-to-risk ratio of about 1.2:1. He argues that expectancy depends on both reward-to-risk and win rate, rather than on the ratio alone.

Timeframes and Performance Claims

• The presenter calls the daily and 4-hour charts the most accurate timeframes.
• He claims system accuracy of 75–80% on the daily, 70–75% on the 4-hour, and 65–70% on intraday charts. These are the presenter’s claims; the subtitles provide no supporting performance data or testing methodology.
• Suggested intraday options include 1-hour, 30-minute, 15-minute, and 10-minute charts. The presenter advises choosing and sticking to a consistent set of timeframes.
• The indicator’s scanner is described as screening instruments and timeframes, with settings to filter by minimum score or include or exclude particular strategies.

Instruments and Examples Mentioned

• Nasdaq: A daily bullish reversal example. The spoken entry is 8,000 and the stop is 7,390. The presenter says price later reached Target 2, but the target figures are not clearly stated.
• AUD/USD: A bearish setup is quoted with entry 0.5979, stop 0.6212, and targets 0.5089 and 0.4383. The presenter then describes the signal changing to bullish. These figures are reproduced as spoken and may be affected by subtitle or transcription errors.
• EUR/JPY: An hourly trend-continuation example, followed by a reversal and a new setup.
• USD/JPY: Scanner examples with scores of 2 and 9; the presenter favors the higher-scoring setup.
• Oil: An hourly bullish breakout example, with targets 21.70 and 24 and a stop at 18.05.

Product and Cautions

The presenter says access to the indicator was offered for $500, or through an affiliated broker by depositing $1,000 and trading the account. He distinguishes it from the Avramis River indicator, describing the Swing Indicator as focused on price action and the River indicator as more focused on volatility and moving-average strategies.

There is no explicit “not financial advice” disclaimer in the subtitles. The accuracy figures and indicator benefits are promotional claims and are not independently substantiated in the presentation. The presenter explicitly warns viewers not to trade binary options, describing them as a way to lose money or be scammed.
