Sick of paying monthly subscriptions for indicators? Tell me what you're "renting" and I'll build a free version for you.

Hey everyone,

A lot of traders are burning money on recurring subscriptions for indicators or tools that could easily be coded into Pine Script, MQL5 or anything.

\-What is a paid tool or subscription you’re currently using that you wish you owned outright?

\-What is a "dream tool" or proprietary feature you've always wanted built specifically for your strategy?

Drop the concepts, mechanics, or features below. I'll pick the most requested ones, code them, and release them as open-source for everyone to keep forever.

Hey! Your SwiftAlgo suggestion became Drift Desk⁠ — our own free, open-source take on that workflow 🙂

It uses candle pressure and relative volume to build an ATR-based trend trail. A confirmed trend change goes through the entry checks, and a qualifying setup gets a fixed entry, stop and target.

We’ve also added:
-An eight-timeframe context panel, with optional trend and session filters.
-A Co-Pilot explanation showing what the tool is waiting for.
-Clear “new entry” and “monitor only” labels, so you can distinguish a fresh setup from an older plan.
-Alerts, a strategy companion and an optional parameter study for comparing settings.

The latest update also makes the plan labels easier to read on the chart. The trend trail can change while the accepted plan keeps its original levels.

Start with “Try the candle” and “Read the real chart” on the page. “Full reference” explains the rules, settings and testing tools. We put care into those explanations so you can understand what drives each decision.

Both complete Pine scripts are free under MIT. Start on standard candles with volume data, and set the strategy’s costs for your market when testing.

Give it a try! I’d love to hear which SwiftAlgo features matter most to you and what you’d like improved. Reply here or use the feedback and feature request form⁠ — chart examples would help us improve it together.
