The swing high/low alert code is given on http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudyChartAlertsAndScanning.php#FormulaExamples item 27 as: =OR(SG1 > 0, SG2 > 0, SG0[-1] > 0, SG1[-1] > 0, SG0[-2] > 0, SG1[-2] > 0, SG0[-3] > 0, SG1[-3] > 0) It says this should alert for all swing highs and lows as printed for a length of 2. However unfortunately the code above only alerts for swing highs. I rewrote it as below: =OR(SG1 > 0, SG2 > 0, SG1[-1] > 0, SG2[-1] > 0, SG1[-2] > 0, SG2[-2] > 0, SG1[-3] > 0, SG2[-3] > 0) This mostly works but probably misses about 25% of swing lows on backtesting - it never misses a swing high - can someone please assist where I might be going wrong? Thanks. |

You are correct about the formula corrections that needed to be made. The posted formula was incorrect. How are you performing the back test?

Thanks for your reply - just using the market replay. Sometimes it will print a swing low on the indicator without reporting it in the alert manager. It's pretty rare, but does seem to happen now and then.
