Hi, please check this link - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...eV6/Swing.html

[0] means the SwingLow value for the most recent bar, [1] for one bar back, [2] for two bars back....

thanks,
i was looking for a way to identify or reference the prior swing high or low and not a bar's value

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Then you need to use thoses syntaxes -

[I]High Bar[/I] 
Swing([COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]strength[/I]).SwingHighBar([COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]barsAgo[/I], [COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]instance[/I], [COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]lookBackPeriod[/I]) 
Swing([COLOR=#0000ff]IDataSeries[/COLOR] [I]inputData[/I], [COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]strength[/I]).SwingHighBar([COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]barsAgo[/I], [COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]instance[/I], [COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]lookBackPeriod[/I]) 

[I]Low Bar[/I] 
Swing([COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]strength[/I]).SwingLowBar([COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]barsAgo[/I], [COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]instance[/I], [COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]lookBackPeriod[/I]) 
Swing([COLOR=#0000ff]IDataSeries[/COLOR] [I]inputData[/I], [COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]strength[/I]).SwingLowBar([COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]barsAgo[/I], [COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]instance[/I], [COLOR=#0000ff]int[/COLOR] [I]lookBackPeriod[/I])

It will return the numbers of bars ago the Swing High / Low occured.

Hi Bertrand,

Could you please clarify why the following swings have the same values?

double currentswing=Swing(SWG).SwingLow[0];
double lastswing=Swing(SWG).SwingLow[1];
double secondlastswing=Swing(SWG).SwingLow[2];

Print("Current Swing=" +currentswing+ " 1nd Swing="+lastswing+ " 2nd Swing="+secondlastswing);

I assumed that the print statement was going to give me the most recent swing, previous swing and 2nd last swing. However, all the values are the same. Could you please let me know where is my mistake/misunderstanding of the functionality of Swing indicator.

Thanks

Hi Loukas, that's not what the method would be giving you back, you just request the current swing value here via bars index, this is not allowing for access of previuos swing instances like the Swing High bar method. When you work with it, you can find the index value back to plugin the overload for the Swing Value method like in the example shown here :
