Swing high to swing high counter?

July 27th, 2022, 04:18 PM

Does anyone have an indicator that plots the number of bars from swing high to swing high and from swing low to swing low? Or anything similar like that? Some type of bar counter?

Thanks.

I found this code and modified it to plot the bar numbers. How can I get it to plot the difference between the bar numbers from swing high to swing high and swing low to swing low rather than the bar numbers?

Code

INPUTS: 
STR(3),
TXT(TRUE),
DEC(2);


VARS: check1(10);

IF CURRENTBAR >-1 THEN BEGIN
   check1 = 2 * str + 2;
   IF SWINGHIGHBAR(1,TRUEHIGH,str, check1) = str THEN BEGIN
        IF TXT then BEGIN
            VALUE1 = Text_New(D[str],T[str],H[str]+.25*truerange,
            NUMTOSTR(BarNumber[str],DEC));                                                                        
            VALUE2 = Text_SetStyle(VALUE1,2,1); 
        END;
    END;

    IF SWINGLOWBAR(1,TRUELOW, str,check1)=str THEN BEGIN
        IF TXT THEN BEGIN
            VALUE1 = Text_New(D[str],T[str],L[str]-.25*truerange,
            NUMTOSTR(BarNumber[str],DEC));
            VALUE2 = Text_SetStyle(VALUE1,2,0); 
        END;
       END; 
       END;

Hi olobay,

you could for example store the bar number when you are detecting a new swing high/low and at the next swing high/low you can compute the difference using the value stored in the variable (just make sure to overwrite the value only after you computed the difference).
Another approach could be calling the functions again, but setting the Instance parameter to 2. Then you can compute the difference between the two function return values.
