How to get # of bars ago using Swing syntax

[ionaz]

The definition of the Swing indicator says that it is possible to determine the number of bars ago a swing point occurred.

Could you explain how can I use this indicator (what is the syntax) to to do that?

I don't understand the syntax in the help guide, it says:

"
High Bar
Swing(int strength).SwingHighBar(int barsAgo, int instance, int lookBackPeriod)
Swing(IDataSeries inputData, int strength).SwingHighBar(int barsAgo, int instance, int
lookBackPeriod)
"

So, correct me if I am wrong, I think I would need to indicate barsAgo here, so how is it possible to extract it then?

My goal is to get the number of bars ago using Swing syntax. If it claims that it is doable.

Thank you

Hi ionaz,

Yes, you can use HighBar method to return the # of bars since a swing high occurred. A suitable barsAgo for the input parameter to this method is 0.

Please see this recent thread for some ideas on using this method. The thread is about the ZigZag indicator, but swing works much the same way.

Ok got it myself. If anyone need it:

if(Swing(4).SwingHighBar(0, 1, 15) == 10)
