Swing Trading Indicator (STI)

The Swing Trading Indicator (STI) is designed to calculate the last swing point that occurred on or before each bar.

A swingpoint is defined as a local high or low for a certain minimum number of bars. You can define this minimum number through parameter, standard is set to 5 bars.

Note the special treatment on outside swing bars (a bar that has both a swing high and a swing low). Without having lower timeframe data, it is not possible to determine the sequence of the high and low. Therefore the following logic is applied:
a) if the outside swing bar has a red candle (close lower than open), the STI will be the 'high' swing level
b) if the outside swing bar has a green candle (close higher than open), the STI will take the 'low' swing level
c) if the close of the outside swing bar is equal to the open, then this bar will be ignored and the swing level of the previous bar will be returned.

For better visibility you should e.g. set the plot parameter 'chart type' to 'ChartPoint' and 'style' to 'StyleSymbolHdash'

Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
