SWINGS Above/Below MA

[BryanGriggs]

Trying to build an indicator that labels Swing High & Low points above or below a user defined moving average. All current swing related indicators base the swing points on "Strength" or number of bars! In my mind, that doesn't present proper swings.

I would like to define a new swing would be if price closed for two consecutive bars above or below a MA.

I've made attempts to modify the SWING & ZigZag indicators but can't locate where within the code could I replace (strength) or add " && Close[0] > MA(input)[0]"

I've have been searching for a while and can't find the right information so I'm asking any NT Support Members for help.

Thanks in Advance for any & all feedback

Hi BryanGriggs,

Is that the extent of the logic for the swing, or does the logic for the Swing already made need to be incorporated into this as well?

I ask because, you could very easily create a indicator that checks if the close price is greater than a moving average on the bar and the bar before.

if (Close[0] > SMA(9)[0] && Close[1] > SMA(9)[1])
{
// execute code to mark swing
}



For help with logic, I recommend that you contact a professional NinjaScript Consultant who would be happy to assist you with the logic side of NinjaScript creation.

Wesley,

Thanks for your reply.

To make myself clear, we will use the Swing indicator for example.

I want to use the Swing indicator but add to the code for the MA variable.

So the Swing indicator would work as it does now

IF "((what ever code or strength here is met)"

&& (Close[0] > SMA(9)[0] && Close[1] > SMA(9)[1]))

So the criteria for the MA would be added to the code for the Swing indicator.

I welcome any ideas, Thanks.
