Finding next lower low/higher high

[CaptainAmericaXX]

Hello,
I'm trying to create an indicator that is beyond my programming ability and am wondering if I can get some pointers or better yet a link to an indicator that someone else has already created.
I simply want to find the next lower low or higher high of and indicator.
Can someone give me the steps to creating this. I will do the research. I just need direction.
Thanks

Hello CaptainAmericaXX,

Thanks for your post.

You can use the Swing indicator for this purpose. Just use the indicator of choice as the input series to the swing indicator (and make sure to set swing indicator to the same panel as the input indicator. Please see the attached example.

Paul,
Thank you for the idea. It worked perfectly.
I'm now trying to create an swing indicator based on that idea. In the Swing indicator code I replaced Low[0] and High[0] with RMI(High, 14, 3)[0], etc. However the values aren't coming out the same as just changing the input series in the Data box of the Swing indicator. Do you have any ideas what else I would have to change to match what is being changed with the Input series change?

Hello CaptainAmericaXX,

Thanks for your post.

The issue is that the RMI value does not have a High or Low, just a Close value. The bar data at any given point can have a high and a low, however the indicator RMI will only have the (its) Close value. If you replace all instances of the High and Low with Close, your modified indicator will line up precisely.

Also, in your code you had a few lines like:

if (RMI(High, 14, 3)[0] > High[strength] && swingHighSwings[strength] > 0.0) Note that you did not change the High[strength]. Here is what it should look like:

if (RMI(Close, 14, 3)[0] > RMI(Close, 14, 3)[strength] && swingHighSwings[strength] > 0.0)
