Swing Indicator results incorrect when CalculateOnBarClose is false - Solution

[AusTrader]

The Swing Indicator produces different results when Live or in Market Replay when CalculateOnBarClose is false compared to COBC true.

See attachment "NT7 Swing CalculateOnBarClose True vs False..." which demonstrates this bug.

I have copied Swing Indicator provided by NinjaTrader to the indicator MySwing and corrected the problem.

See attachment "NT7 MySwing CalculateOnBarClose True vs False..." which demonstrates the bug fix.

Attached is the full source for MySwing that solves this problem.

Please be aware that the Indicators CandleStickPattern and CandleStickPatternAll also use the Swing Indicator and will produce incorrect results with CalculateOnBarClose set to false. These can be fixed by coping those indicators and referencing MySwing instead of Swing.

Hello AusTrader,

Thanks for your post.

I have confirmed your observations.

Thanks for your efforts to code and report.

We will investigate further and will update this thread when we have further information.

Hello AusTrader,

We have completed our review of this and have concluded that we will retain the current functionality of the Swing indicator as is.

You are welcome to post your solution in the NinjaTrader forums file sharing area.

Thank-you.
