Post From: Swing High & Low custom study - New Spreadsheets

Currently the "Swing High and Low" study within Sierra offers an "Allow Equal High/Low Bars" line item with a "Yes/No" choice.

All charts displayed below use a strength of -10- for High/Low and orange ellipses highlight the points of emphasis.

This is a chart with the "Yes" option selected:

This is a chart with the "No" option selected:

As you can see in this 2nd chart, there are no dots present in the ellipses.


My question revolves around a potential option to allow for these equal high/lows but only plot the most recent occurrence. IOW, a valid swing high could have equal or lower highs prior to it (to the left), but only lower highs beyond it (to the right). A valid swing low could have equal or higher lows prior to it, but only higher lows beyond it. An example of what that would look like:

Basically all equal valued plots to the left within the strength value chosen would be ignored and the process would "reset" in essence.

I have an idea of how this could possibly be achieved using the Spreadsheet study but wanted to try this avenue first in case this was a rather simple modification/addition.

Thx.
