Capture previous swing low

[sdauteuil]

I have a script which sets a variable (SwingLow) to the current swing low value. I am using a double as the variable type.

I need to be able to access the previous swing low value also.


What is the proper way / easiest way to capture or reference the previous value of this variable?

I am not that familiar with C# terminology but I think I need to create a series.

I would appreciate any guidance.

Hello sdauteuil,

Thanks for your post.

What I would suggest is that you create a second variable to hold the value of the previous swinglow. When a new swing low is found, step 1 is to move the existing swing low variable value into the previous swing low variable and then step 2 is save the new swing low into the current swing low variable.

Alternately, if you are using Ninjascript directly, you can pull the prior swing levels within the look back period by changeing the "instance": 1 would be the current swing low, 2 would be the previous swing low. https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nt8/?swing.htm

Using the second variable worked. I was actually trying to do that but couldn't quite figure out the proper code.
