Hello All,

I'm trying to identify some line touches that don't always occur simultaneously.

The attached screenshot shows three touches on the Swing indicator.
I've attempted to use a nested for loop with BoolSeries but I'm not sure I'm doing the indexing correctly to identify which bar touched and then how to proceed to touch#2 and touch #3. Also, not sure if making them false within the loops is correct or only when the SwingDots shift.
Also, if there's some obvious ways to do the BackColorSeries[i] or [0] better , I'd appreciate your thoughts.

 
Code
for (int i = 0; i <= 2; i++){
				double high = High[i];
				if(high == SwingHighPlot[i]){
					for (int j = 0; j <= 5; j++){
						if (BoolPush1Up[j+i+1]==false){
							BoolPush1Up.Set((j+i),true);//
						}
						if (BoolPush1Up[j+i+1]) BoolPush1Up.Set((j+i),true);
						if (BoolPush1Up[j+i+1]==true){// && BoolPush2Up[i+j+0] == false){
							if (BoolPush2Up[j+i+1] == false){
								BoolPush2Up.Set((j+i),true);//
							}
						}
						if (BoolPush1Up[j+i+1]==true && BoolPush2Up[i+j+0] == true){
							if (BoolPush3Up[j+i+1]){
								BoolPush3Up.Set((j+i),true);
							}
						
						}
					}
				}
				//else BoolPush1Up.Set(i,false);
				if (BoolPush1Up[0]) BackColorSeries[0]=Color.Yellow;
				if (BoolPush2Up[0]) BackColorSeries[0]=Color.Green;
				if (BoolPush3Up[0]) BackColorSeries[0]=Color.Red;
				
			}
Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I'm not sure if what you're doing will work or not. I'd approach it more simply: just use a

 
Code
int counter = 0;
and ever time a top is touched

 
Code
counter++;
until the swing high changes, then

 
Code
counter = 0;
Otherwise, while the swing high has not changed, and

 
Code
if (counter == 3)
   doStuff();
then do whatever it is you plan to do on the 3rd touch.

Seems simpler, and will perform better too (no extra series collections to maintain and traverse on every bar).
