Interesting - what dataset are you using?  I have seen that error also but it didn't prevent me running the code!  Perhaps you are looking for more swings than your data contains.  Try a smaller swing size and/or less swings.

Note - I am using ES 15 second data with 0.3%-0.6% swings.

Otherwise, I hope to post a better version within a few days.
