I am trying to write a code that will able to find the lowest of the last X swing lows and the highest of the X swing lows by using the Swing indicator in Ninjatrader.
This is how I did it
MIN(Swing(BarsArray[1], 1).SwingLow, X)[0];
MAX(Swing(BarsArray[1], 1).SwingHigh, X)[0];
For some reason it does seem to be working. My impression is these functions find the highest swing high of the the last X days and not the highest of the last X swing highs (which may be useful too but it is not what I am looking for).
I have been told that I need to use ArrayLists but I have not idea how to go about it; it goes beyond my programming skills and I found nothing on Ninjascript. Can anybody help please?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
My quick impression, if the approach is valid (didn't spend the time), is the problem might be the BarsArray[1]. Try BarsArray[0] here to see if it does what you expect. I think you need to have a multi-series strategy/indicator to us [1].
Sorry I did not explain why I have BarsArray[1] in the indicator. The reason is just that I am working on multi time frame and I created a BarsArray of daily bars in Initialize section
Add(PeriodType.Day,1);
That has nothing to do with what I am looking for; the code could easily be
I think Swing might have "missing values". I don't know if MIN/MAX ignore these values. YOu might need to scan the array yourself with a for/next loop and ignore missing values.
