adding filter to swing entry condition

[brucelevy]

Hi, how can I say cross below swing low - 3 ticks? (so if price crosses below the swing low it needs to go a 3 ticks further)

&& (CrossBelow(Close, Swing(5).SwingLow, 1))

Hello,
You can do this by doing the following

CrossBelow(Close, Swing(5).SwingLow[0] - 3 * TickSize, 1)

If we can be of any other assistance please let us know.

SwingLow[0] meaning the nearest swing low?

&& CrossBelow(Close, Swing(5).SwingLow[1] - 2 * TickSize, 1))

This is the correct usage for prior swing low, minus 2 ticks?

I would want it to enter short on the break of the blue swing low point

This shows the swing, I labeled them, please let me know if the counting of swings is correct or if I am off, or if for example SwingHigh 1 is actually SwingHigh[0] in the code.

Hello,

SwingLow[0] would return the value of the SwingLow point of the current bar which would be the previous SwingLowPoint. Calling SwingLow[1] would not return the value of the prior SwingLow point(two swing points back).
In your example with the SwingHigh, the SwingHigh 1 would be SwingHigh[0].

Can you clarify what you are meaning by break in "I would want it to enter short on the break of the blue swing low point?"
