    trying to understand the swing indicator

    Hi, I have been trying to develop a strategy with the setup using a lower high and higher low. I have decided to use swing since it seems to be the best approach. The setting that I will be using is Swing(2). I have been testing around with the method Swing(Input, 2).SwingLowBar(0, 1, strength + 1) with the strength set as 2, and using Print statement to test what values does it return. I understand that it would return -1 if there was no swing found within the last strength+1 bars. However, from the print statement, it has shown the possible values (-1,2,3,4,5) of what Swing(Input, 2).SwingLowBar(0, 1, strength + 1) can return.

    - I don't seem to understand how does this method work. I know that it returns -1 if there was no swing found within the strength+1 bars. But since I'm using strength+1 as my setting for finding swing low bar, why does it return 4 or 5 when I call the method while it should only return the last swing that was found within strength+1 bars.

    Hello horace chow,

    Thanks for your post.

    Can you provide an example script that demonstrates this so we can test on our end?

    Please attach the script to your reply and include the steps to recreate (Instrument, time frame, bars type/size, etc.)
