Hello,

A while back you assisted me in creating swing highs and lows that plot on my charts based on the following criteria;

H3 * ABS(MAXH3 < H3 AND H3 > MAXH3.4)

 
L3 * ABS(MINL3 > L3 AND L3 < MINL3.4)
 
They work great by the way.
 
What I'm trying to do now is create a scan that would pick up stocks when price clears, or closes above the previous 2 swing highs.
 
Your help would be much appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
John

I can think of a way to check for price being above the most recent swing high using the techniques given in the Days Since Last Peak (or other day-counting needs) topic as long as you limit the number of bars back you want to look for the swing high.

I cannot think of a way to check for price being above the two most recent swing highs which would result in a formula which is short and fast enough to be practical or post in the forums. The technique to check for being above the most recent swing high results in a long enough formula as it is.

The following version of a formula to check for price being above the most recent swing high checks back for the 60 most recent possible swing highs.

C > ABS(MAXH3.1 < H4 AND H4 > MAXH3.5) * H4 + ABS(MAXH3.1 >= H4 OR H4 <= MAXH3.5) * (ABS(MAXH3.2 < H5 AND H5 > MAXH3.6) * H5 + ABS(MAXH3.2 >= H5 OR H5 <= MAXH3.6) * (ABS(MAXH3.3 < H6 AND H6 > MAXH3.7)
