SWING as stop loss

[ampf27]

How can I hand code so that I can place swing high + 5 ticks stop loss and swing low - 5 ticks stop loss?

Hello ampf27,

Thanks for your post.

You could use Swing(int strength).SwingHigh[int barsAgo] and Swing(int strength).SwingLow[int barsAgo] to get the Swing High and Swing Low values.

Those values could then be offset by a certain number of ticks when used for your stop-loss order price.

For example, the code to use the price of the Swing Low value - 5 Ticks for a stop loss would look something like this.

ExitLongStopMarket(1, Swing(5).SwingLow[0] - 5 * TickSize);

See the help guide documentation below for more information.
