    Setting StopLoss Using Swing Indicator

    Hello,

    I'm using the Swing indicator to set a stoploss in my strategy as follows:

    For Long Trades:

    stopOrder = ExitLongStop(0, true, Position.Quantity, Swing(7).SwingLow[0], stopName, signalName);

    For Short Trades:

    stopOrder = ExitShortStop(0, true, Position.Quantity, Swing(7).SwingHigh[0], stopName, signalName);


    The problem is, the stops are not being placed where the Swing indicator is plotting with strength 7.

    I noticed that the stops are being placed at the highs/lows of the current bar.

    What is the proper way to pass the Swing High and Swing Low levels that the indicator plots on the chart to the ExitLongStop / ExitShortStop methods? Thank you!

    Have you tried using Swing(7).SwingHigh[1] ?

      That was it! Thank you friend. Sometimes the obvious eludes us
