When trying to get a crossover signal with the swing high-low indicator, I cannot seem to get it to work.
Is it because many of the cells get filled with zeros when a swing high-low does not form?

I try the last price =crossfrombelow(E3,AB3:AB4) where ab3 is the swing high cell.

If it is an issue with the zeros in the cells, how do you overcome this ?

I cant get it to work with ASCIL crossover either.

thanks
Shane

As you suspected, it is because of the zeros.

Attached is an example of how to overcome it with a spreadsheet study.

thanks so much Tom !

Although I cannot figure out how you changed the zero settings. Or which setting you used.

The Swing HL study is Hidden. What you see displayed is from the spreadsheet study. Look at the Draw Styles of the spreadsheet columns M (SG3) and P (SG6). These are the only ones displayed.

Hi

I see now.

How can I add a formula with a trading spreadsheet to get a buy signal when price breaks a previous swing high or low ?
thanks Tom

My example chartbook gives you more than you need. Just use the formulas in K3 and N3, with these for entries:
=CROSSFROMBELOW(E3:E4,K3:K4)
=CROSSFROMABOVE(E3:E4,N3:N4)
