Swing Indicator Changes

Thank you for the assistance.

Rather than modify the built-in indicator it may be easier to just write a separate indicator to Draw lines
on the highs based on your formulation for a Broken High.

Hello ItsForeseen,

Welcome to the support forum.

You can certainly edit the existing indicators but you would need to create a duplicate to be able to edit the duplicate.

In the NinjaScript editor, you can open the Swing indicator and then Right Click -> Save As. This will let you duplicate the indicator and then begin working.

The Swing indicator is a fairly complex indicator so it may be easier to start off with a more simple approach as JerryWar noted. This could include creating a new indicator and drawing lines with your base conditions.

We have a lot of examples and help information surrounding NnjaScript, I would suggest starting with the following video to get comfortable with the NinjaScript editor:

After you feel comfortable using the editor, you can use the indicator wizard to create a basic indicator to test with or duplicate the existing items and work with that.
