How to use swing highs or lows as entries

[Belotime]

I am currently developing a divergence strategy but I am having trouble with the entry. For my entry I would like to use the previous swing high or low depending on whether the rest or the code indicates a buy or sell signal.

I would never recommend using divergence as a Trade signal , only as an indication of Strength or Weakness in the market. That said, Look to the pivots you are using for the divergence, when is the last pivot confirmed ? What is the confirming signal ? That maybe the point at which your code looks at your other indicators for a Buy/Sell

I have an indicator that has a signal for buy or sell divergence. For my entry I am looking to use the high or low in between the two divergence points, I am having trouble coding this. For my stop I am using the high or low of the second peak or low in the two divergence points. For my target I am using the distance between the entry and the stop. Any help is greatly appreciated.

In Order to code a strategy you have to have a very clear picture in your mind and a rock solid set of
rules to program. Here is a picture that might help of how I Manually might take a trade after a setup with divergence. Note I am not directly trading the divergence but the confirmation of the top after it occurred along with the further indication by the break. See attached.

I have a very clear image of what I want to code, would an illustration help you?

It's not going to help me. You said you were having trouble coding the entry. I was just walking you through the way I start my coding process which is visually to develop the rules. If you see the conditions you need for your entries, then what is the problem? If it is the actual coding I would refer you to the NinjaTrader BUY/SELL Examples and start coding something simpler and work up to your divergence code.
