Hello,

I'm trying to create a strategy that utilizes only the SPX to determine the current swing. Basically, the idea is to look for the lowest low of the SPX over a 10 day period. A 10-day low happens when the closing price of a certain day is lower than the close of the last 10 days. A 10-day high happens when the close is higher than the close of the last 10 days.

How would I create something like this in Telechart? It's not really a scan in the purest sense - but I want to use it as a swing indicator for my other trades.

Thoughts appreciated!

Best,

Damian

10 day low:

MINL10

10 day high:

MAXH10

(you can plot these or create a percent
true indicator)

L<MINL10.1

(new low today)

H>MAXH10.1

(new high today)
