How To Reference a Prior Swing Low - Zig Zag Indicator.

[rabidsheep]

Guys,

Would appreaciate some help here with regards to the Zig Zag Indicator. I am looking to reference a prior Swing Low (Low 2 in the attached image - Not Low 1).

Therefore, if I wanted to enter a trade when the price is > than Low 2 and of course Low 1. I believe I should use "instance" -

instance - The occurrence to check for (1 is the most recent,
2 is the 2nd most recent etc...)

Is this correct? If so could you help me with an example of how it would be coded?

Many thanks, Gaz

Hello rabidsheep.

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

You are correct on the use of the instance. And example of this would be the following:

if(Close[0] > Low[Math.Max(0, ZigZag(DeviationType.Points, 0.5, false).LowBar(0, 1, 100))] && Close[0] > Low[Math.Max(0, ZigZag(DeviationType.Points, 0.5, false).LowBar(0, 2, 100))])
{
//Do  something.
}

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
