Double Bottom Indicator

[Ludwik]

Hi,
I'm seriously struggling with this one. I'm trying to create a Double Bottom indicator with certain features.
I just don't know how to write a code of it. I'm aware about this code: Swing(int strength).SwingHighBar(int barsAgo, int instance, int lookBackPeriod) b and athe help guide on the swing indicator: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nt8/?swing.htm
I just can't figure out how to implement following criteria.
Here are key features of the indicator. Since Double Bottom has 2 swings I will be using SL2 and SL1 (Swing Low2 and Swing Low1) SL1 being most recent swing.
1. There is up to 6 bars within between SL1 and SL2 (including SL1 and SL2 Bars)
2. If SL1 is Higher then SL2 then LL (Lower Low) of SL1 to be within 2 ticks distance from LL of SL2
3. HH coming from SL2 should be 6 ticks or more away from the 20 EMA
I would appreciate your help with it

Hello Ludwik,

Use 1 as the instance for the most recent swing, use 2 as the instance for the previous most recent swing.

With those two bars ago numbers, you would need a loop that compares the open to the close.

Something similar to

bool upBarFound = false;

for (int index = startBarsAgo; index < endBarsAgo; index++)
{
if (Close[index] > Open[index])
{
upBarFound = true;
}
}

Print("upBarFound: " + upBarFound);

You can compare the high or lows of the bars to each other.

if (Low[Math.Max(0, Swing(5).SwingLowBar(0, 1, 10))] > Low[Math.Max(0, Swing(5).SwingLowBar(0, 2, 10))] - 2 * TickSize)

You can compare the high of the swing low bar to be greater than the EMA(20) plus 6 ticks.

if (Low[Math.Max(0, Swing(5).SwingLowBar(0, 2, 10))] > EMA(20)[0] + 6 * TickSize)
