SwingHigh-SwingLow > int as a Strategy condition

[MXASJ]

Hello again Ninja Gurus!

I'm trying to add a condition in a strategy where it will only enter a trade if the difference between the SwingHigh and SwingLow excedes an integer... say 2 for eight ticks on the /es.

Seeing that the SwingHigh/Low value sometimes does not exist, and seeing the bar[0] value doesn't exist, I've coded it this way;

&& ((Swing(5).SwingHigh[1] - Swing(5).SwingLow[1]) >= 2) || (Swing(5).SwingHigh[1] == null) || (Swing(5).SwingLow[1] == null)

Which should allow a trade if one bar ago EITHER there was a 2 or more point difference between the swinghigh and low lines OR there was no swing hi or low line.

Alas that code does not seem to work. Any pointers?

Thanks!

Hello,

The Swing indicator redraws the values, which is not like most indicators. Use the Print() method to see the value change after the fact. You can still work with the Swing indicater but it is more complicated.
