Does anyone have code that can do this, or something similar?

I have the prices of support/resistance (S/R) lines stored in an ArrayList. When price is moving up, I want to find the nearest S/R line, in said ArrayList, that is currently below the Close price, once price gets 1 point above the nearest S/R line. And, the opposite when price is moving down.
See attached image for illustration.
Thanks guys.

Not exactly what you asked, and it _might_ do if you dont have a resolution : Swing Gap Links and Downloads Manager - NinjaTrader Support Forum

use the MostRecentOccurance ... I might have other thoughts after a nites sleep

That's funny... sending me a link to my own modified code. LOL
The Swing ind. only stores the most recent occurance. I have an ArrayList, which may have up to 15 stored prices, that I need to look through.

loop thru your array, for support look for smallest negative price - s/r value, for resis look for smallest positive price - s/r value.

MostRecentOccurence (MRO(SwingGap)[0]) ...MRO(SwingGap)[15] gets those values, me thinks

In variables section declare a list object...they are more efficient than arrays and do not need to be initialized with a size. Or just use arrays, no matter. Methods are the same.

List<double>listSR = new List<double>();
privatedouble SRNextHigh = 0;
privatedouble SRNextLow = 0;


 
Code
protected void FindNextSR()
{
 
listSR.Sort();
for (int x = 0; x < listSR.Count; x++)
{
if (listSR[x] > Close[0])
{
SRNextHigh = listSR[x];
if (x != 0) SRNextLow = listSR[x - 1];
Print(SRNextHigh + " High   Close=" + Close[0] + "   Low " + SRNextLow);
break;
}
if (listSR[x] > Close[0]) SRNextLow = 0;
if (listSR[x] < Close[0]) SRNextHigh = 0;
}
}
This routine will go thru the list object and put the next supprt (SRNextLow) below the Close of the current bar, and the next resistance (SRNextHigh) above the current close

if there are no support values above, it sets SRNextHigh to 0
if there are no support values below, it sets SRNextLow to 0

items may be added to the List object using .add method

Hope this helps

PS. dont forget to add a ref to
using System.Collections.Generic;

most recent occurrence. wouldnt that be the last value of the List.

like

 
Code
 List<double>listSR = new List<double>();



 
Code
double SR = listSR[listSR.Count - 1];

This way you don't need to worry about which way price is moving. The current bar close is always sandwiched between the two SR lines (one above and one below).
