Swing indicator values

[tkaboris]

hi, i am wondering why my swinghigh is displaying a wrong value. I place swing indicator on chart with default settings and in strategy i am referencing the default values too but it places stop at wrong level, not excactly at default swing level. Am i doing it right?

double swinghigh = Swing(5).SwingHigh[1];

ExitShortStopMarket(1, true, Position.Quantity, Position.AveragePrice + swinghigh, "SLS", "BS");

Hello tkaboris,

The swing indicator has custom methods that are used to get the swing values. You can see an example of getting the most recent instance of the swing here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...lightsub=swing

ok I entered these values like from teh help guide
double swinghigh = High[Math.Max(0, Swing(5).SwingHighBar(0, 1, 10))];
double swinglow = Low[Math.Min(0, Swing(5).SwingLowBar(0, 1, 10))];

but i now have error onbarupate outofrrange index
What validation i need for this?
Thank you
I have
if (CurrentBar < 20) return;

Hello tkaboris,

You need to use Math.Max on both lines of code, you want the higher of the bars ago value between 0 and any positive number. If no swing is found a -1 is reported which your Math.Min is selecting and that is not a valid bars ago.

Return Value
An int value representing the number of bars ago. Returns a value of -1 if a swing point is not found within the look back period.
