Hello,

Following the technique of L.A. Little, I'm trying to identify Swing Point Highs (SPHs) and Swing Point Lows (SPLs) on a daily chart.

The status of a bar as a SPH or SPL is boolean, so I don't know if it's possible to identify them on a chart.

I'm having difficulty writing the condition, too. An SPH is a bar whose High is higher than the High of at least the 6 bars that follow it although there's no limit on how many consecutive bars could have lower Highs.

Is it possible to write such a condition in TC2000? If the condition can be written, is there some way to identify the SPHs and (with a converse PCF) the SPLs on a chart, perhaps by rendering the condition as an Indicator yielding a 1 or 0 result?

Thanks very much.

Start by creating the following Custom PCF Indicator for the Swing Point High where it is first detected:

- Plot Style: Doesn't matter (because of the Plot Opacity setting below).
- Plot Color: Doesn't matter (because of the Plot Opacity setting below).
- Period: 1
- Average Type: Doesn't matter (becasue the Period is set to 1).
- Formula: H6 * ABS(H6 > MAXH6.7 AND H6 > MAXH6)
- Line Style: Doesn't matter (because of the Plot Opacity setting below).
- Line Width: Doesn't matter (because of the Plot Opacity setting below).
- Plot Opacity: All the way to the left.

Then create a Custom PCF Indicator for the Swing Point Low where it is first detected using the same settings as above with the exception of changing the Formula to:

L6 * ABS(L6 < MINL6.7 AND L6 < MINL6)

Now add 1-Period Simple Moving Averages to both Custom PCF Indicators and set the Offset to -6 (the negative is important). I would probably set the Plot Style of these Moving Average indicators to Dots.

Please don't stop trying. My purpose isn't to create indicators. That is just a side effect. My hope is that the indicators and formulas I create serve as examples to help others learn new techniques for using our products.

Bruce... don't worry. I got middling competent at programming indicators in my previous stock analysis software and want to get better at PCFs, too. I'm certainly not averse to copying from the work of others or giving it a go myself, although some of them, like the Historical Volatility (50 days), look pretty intimidating. Thanks, again.

Hello, Bruce

I've been using the formula above, along with the -6 offset to display the swing points. However, I've discovered an anomaly I don't understand.

I can't seem to paste the screen shots I took, but there are some bars that clearly meet the criteria for a swing point that are NOT identified as such.

They're very obvious and in the middle of the chart, so it's a mystery. Wish I could sent a screen shot to show the problem.

Thanks.

Eric

Some example symbols and dates would probably be enough to try and troubleshoot the issue. The best topic of which I'm aware on how to post images in the forums is Inserting A Chart into A Worden post.

Hi Bruce,

Those instructions don't work for us Mac users... no URL reference to paste in.

Here are two examples of the problem:

1) Symbol: MG340 (Morningstar's Food & Beverage Industry)

If we look at the weekly chart, there are swing point highs at April 27 and July 6. There is also a swing point low at June 8. These are fine. However, on July 27 there is another swing point low &mdash; there's no lower low after that at all. But is not marked as a swing point low.

MG340 on the monthly chart shows at least 2 swing point lows since April 2009 that are not marked: May 2010 and October 2011.

2) Symbol: MG310 (Morningstar Consumer Durables Industry)

On the Daily chart, there are 4 swing point highs and 3 swing point lows since Sept. 10 this year. However, on Nov. 20, we have a wide-range bar with a swing point high. It is ALSO a swing point low, as there is no lower low since. It is not marked as such.

I'm baffled.

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Eric

The week of July 27th doesn't qualify for MG340 because the week of June 16th has a lower low.

November 20th doesn't qualify for MG310 because November 14th and November 15th both have lower lows.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for that. I was not considering the prior 5 bars, just the subsequent 5 (including the swing point bar, that totals 6 both ways). That count is critical: L.A. Little fixed on 6 as optimum. I hope he's right!

The way he 'qualifies' a trend from the swing points is by volume: if the new SPH has greater volume than the prior SPH, then it's a 'confirmed' trend. If volume is lower, it's a 'suspect' trend.

To ease that qualification, I've overlayed your swing point indicators (one for SPH and one for SPL) on the volume bars, showing them as low-opacity histograms in grey and white. It's still a lot of visual inspection, estimating the height of the volume histogram, running the mouse over them where they're too close to call.

Is it possible to create a condition to divide the swing points, based on volume comparison? For example, if the volume of the new SPH is higher than the volume of the previous SPH, then the condition is true. If this was possible, then I could have four different colored dot markers on the chart: confirmed SPH, suspect SPH, confirmed SPL and suspect SPL.

Since 'confirmed' trends have higher probabilities for a successful trade, 4 types of swing point on the chart would speed visual inspection by an order of magnitude.

Programming it, I'm not familiar with how to create the volume comparison. 

As always, I appreciate your help.

It is theoretically possible to do so using the techniques given in the Days Since Last Peak (or other day-counting needs) topic, but the formulas end up being too long and slow to be practical or post in the forums if we look back more than a few bars prior to the most recent swing high or swing low to detect the previous swing high or swing low.

Too true.

The maximum number of bars in any of my charts in any time frame is 60, but I've seen long bull runs where there could be 50+ bars between a pair of swing point highs.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Bruce,

I've been using your swing point formula to display Swing Point Highs (SPHs) and Swing Point Lows (SPLs). It works very well and displays beautifully as dots on the charts. 

Reviewing the strategy, I note that the swing point close on a new SPH is supposed to exceed the close on the prior SPH.

No problem, I thought... I'll just piggy-pack on the SPH formula:

IF (H6 * ABS(H6 > MAX6.7 AND H6 > MAXH6)) THEN C

Using the moving average plotting trick you taught, I thought the original formula and moving average trick would identify the bar, but the new dot would appear on the closing value. Well, um, it didn't work. The correct bar was marked, again at the high.

Thanks for the help.

Hello Bruce,

Delving with more care into Little's technique, I find that his 6 day count includes the current day. No problem adjusting your formula for that. 

 

L5 * ABS(L5 < MINL5.6 AND L5 < MINL5)

But I also find that he does NOT take into account days prior to a Swing Point High or Low, when determining the Swing Point. For example, one of the prior 5 days to a Swing Point Low could have a lower Low. All Little cares about is that the Swing Point Low is lower than the following 5 days.

I've messed around with your formula, but I'm too dense to get it right. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

The L5 < MINL5.6 portion of the formula is what checks for the days prior to the swing point low. We can eliminate that and get:

L5 * ABS(L5 < MINL5)

I am not familiar with Litte's work. Most people defining swing point highs and swing point lows have requirements both before and after the swing point high or low.

Hi Bruce,

There is a requirement before the swing point. 

I actually did have your formula figured out. The thing I couldn't get was that the 5 bars prior to the Swing Point Low can have lower Lows, but they must themselves be excluded as swing points. The Swing Point Low is the bar that is followed by 5 bars with higher lows. The 6th bar after could be yet another swing point with a higher low than the 5 bars that precede it, as long as it has a lower low than the 5 bars after it.

Using your first formula from when we started this thread probably nets 99% of the swing points. Yet, in Little's 2011 book, Trend Qualification and Trading, there are scattered examples of the phenomenon where the swing point complies with this spec, yet doesn't look like an clear "V" pattern because of those prior bars. 

Thanks again!

Hi Bruce,

I've been trying to solve this thing overnight.

Definition of L5 as a Swing Point Low (SPL) is clear: L5 * ABS(L5 < MINL5). What happens before it is giving me trouble as there are two situations to cover.

If L11 is not an SPL, then L6 through L10 are eligible to be SPLs, although, if one of them were, then L5 would not be.

If L11 is an SPL, then L6 through L10 are NOT eligible to be SPLs, even if every one of them had a lower Low than L5.

I've been testing SPH formulas on the daily chart of DBC, where last Oct. 19 should be a Swing Point High, even though Oct. 11 and Oct. 17 have higher Highs. Those two bars are rendered ineligible due to their being within 5 bars of the SPH on Oct. 11.

Thanks again.

I find an article written by Little and I'm starting to see why others have requsted lower highs both before and after the swing point low. The version both you and Little describe would seem to allow a swing point high in the midst of sustained downtrend simply by having that swing point high be above the previous bar even if it is below all of the other prior bars.

Little does seem to require a potential swing point high to be above both the previous potential swing point high and the previous bar. This means at the very least that we should modify our swing point high formula to:

H5 * ABS(H6 < H5 AND H5 > MAXH5)

And our swing point low formula to:

L5 * ABS(L6 > L5 AND L5 < MINL5)

Having an actual swing point high 5-bars or less prior to the new swing point high is impossible because the new swing point high would cause the prior potential swing point high to not become an actual swing point high.

If there was an actual swing point high 6-bars prior to the new swing point high, then the new swing point high formula would seem to be the only requirement because none of the potential swing point highs between the actual swing point high and new swing point high would be counted as potential swing point highs.

If there was an actual swing point high 7-bars prior to the the new swing point high, than we could use the following formula:

H5 * ABS(MAXH2.6 < H5 AND H5 > MAXH5)

If there was an actual swing point high 8-bars pior to the new swing point high, then we could use the following formula:

H5 * ABS(MAXH3.6 < H5 AND H5 > MAXH5)

If there was an actual swing point high 9-bars pior to the new swing point high, then we could use the following formula:

H5 * ABS(MAXH4.6 < H5 AND H5 > MAXH5)

If the last actual swing point high was 10-bars or more pior to the new swing point high, then we could use the following formula:

H5 * ABS(MAXH5.6 < H5 AND H5 > MAXH5)

So we have five possibilities as to the requirements of a swing point high depending on how long ago the most recent actual swing bar high occurred. So a hypothetical (non-working) formula for this would be:

H5 * ABS(((SPH11 AND H6 < H5) OR (SPH12 AND MAXH2.6 < H5) OR (SPH13 AND MAXH3.6 < H5) OR (SPH14 AND MAXH4.6 < H5) OR MAXH5.6 < H5) AND H5 > MAXH5)

Unfortunately, to actually create this formula, we would need to somehow substitute bars ago versions of the formula we just created into itself to replace all of the SPHs in the formula that represent previous swing point highs. Since there really isn't a way to create an infinitely recursive function in the Personal Criteria Formula Language, I do not see this as being possible.

About the closest we could come would be to substitute in either the least restrictive:

H5 * ABS(((H12 < H11 AND H11 > MAXH5.6 AND H6 < H5) OR (H13 < H12 AND H12 > MAXH5.7 AND MAXH2.6 < H5) OR (H14 < H13 AND H13 > MAXH5.8 AND MAXH3.6 < H5) OR (H15 < H14 AND H14 > MAXH5.9 AND MAXH4.6 < H5) OR MAXH5.6 < H5) AND H5 > MAXH5)

Or most restrictive standalone swing point high formulas and hope one or the other is good enough:

H5 * ABS(((MAXH5.12 < H11 AND H11 > MAXH5.6 AND H6 < H5) OR (MAXH5.13 < H12 AND H12 > MAXH5.7 AND MAXH2.6 < H5) OR (MAXH5.14 < H13 AND H13 > MAXH5.8 AND MAXH3.6 < H5) OR (MAXH5.15 < H14 AND H14 > MAXH5.9 AND MAXH4.6 < H5) OR MAXH5.6 < H5) AND H5 > MAXH5)

The least restrictive version of the swing point low formula would be:

L5 * ABS(((L12 > L11 AND L11 < MINL5.6 AND L6 > L5) OR (L13 > L12 AND L12 < MINL5.7 AND MINL2.6 > L5) OR (L14 > L13 AND L13 < MINL5.8 AND MINL3.6 > L5) OR (L15 > L14 AND L14 < MINL5.9 AND MINL4.6 > L5) OR MINL5.6 > L5) AND L5 < MINL5)

And the most restrictive version of the swing point low formula would be:

L5 * ABS(((MINL5.12 > L11 AND L11 < MINL5.6 AND L6 > L5) OR (MINL5.13 > L12 AND L12 < MINL5.7 AND MINL2.6 > L5) OR (MINL5.14 > L13 AND L13 < MINL5.8 AND MINL3.6 > L5) OR (MINL5.15 > L14 AND L14 < MINL5.9 AND MINL4.6 > L5) OR MINL5.6 > L5) AND L5 < MINL5)

Thanks for the research and revised take on this problem, Bruce. My understanding is a bit different.

For clarity, lets create 11 data points, starting with today and moving back:

H = $1, H1 = $1, H2 = $1, H3 = $1, H4 = $1, H5 = $2, H6 = $3, H7 = $1, H8 = $1, H9 = $1, H10 = $1, H11 = $4 

In this scenario, H1 and H11 are both Swing Point Highs (SPHs),  because they are followed by 5 bars each with lower highs. Note that H6 is higher than H5, but is prevented from being a PSPH by the 5 bar rule. Thus, your first modified formula doesn't fit the spec.

While it's easy enough to find and label H5 as an SPH (thanks for that), those pesky prior bars continue to bother me. The way I see it, we don't have to go any further back than H11... if we can find a way to program it (where's an IF... THEN conditional statement for PCFs when we need one?).

I'm hoping that an infinite recursive function isn't necessary if, six days ago, H11 was captured as an H5 SPH. If so, that takes care of half the problem.

The other half is when H11 is NOT an SPH. Suppose H11 = $1. Then, the $3 day (H6 above) definitely would be an SPH and the current $2 day (H5 above) would not.

I'm really not good enough at PCFs to wrap my head around this. I thought that, if we had two separate conditions and no IF... THEN statement, is it possible to write something along the lines of H5 * (ABS(.....) AND ABS(.....))?

For another illustration of the phenomenon, Little himself uses the SPY monthly chart from March 1, 2002 to Apr. 30, 2006. Our existing formula captures SPLs on Oct. 2002 and Aug. 2004. There's just one SPH, in Mar. 2004. Little's chart agrees with those, but has 4 more SPLs: Apr. 2003, Oct. 2003, Apr. 2005 and Oct. 2005. 

Thanks, Bruce. You're a patient guy.

If you do something like the following, you will get the swing point highs and lows you want marked, but you will also get extra bars marked because the results are not recursive.

Swing Point High:

H5 * ABS(H5 > MAXH5 AND (H11 > MAXH5.6 OR H5 > MAXH5.6))

Swing Point Low:

L5 * ABS(L5 < MINL5 AND (L11 < MINL5.6 OR L5 < MINL5.6))

When March 2003 is processed, the bar knows it can't be as swing point low because October 2002 is a swing point low. But when September 2003 is processed, it has no idea that previous swing point low was in April 2003 instead of March 2003, so September 2003 and October 2003 both get marked. The formula even thinks that May of 2003 was potentially a swing point low (it is after all followed by five higher lows), so November 2003 gets marked as well.

The inability to recursively apply the swing point high and swing point low definitions to the prior swing point highs and lows pretty much makes it impossible to create the formulas. You can do so with a state machine that processes the data from left to right, but you cannot duplicate the results with a formula language that is not recursive.

Yikes! I tried your formulas on the SPY monthly and see what you mean. 

So, we're stuck with not capturing some of the swing points or having false swing points all over the place.

Little looks at screens with about 60 bars in any time frame. Sometimes (during super-strong trends, for example) it's necessary to go back a bit further to find a swing point, since we need 2 SPHs and 2 SPLs to establish trend direction and strength.

Would it be possible to short-circuit the recursive problem by starting say 100 bars back and working left-to-right, forward in time?

(Does Real Code handle recursive? From other comments I've seen on this board, users are hoping that Worden finds a way to offer it without turning maniacs like me loose in your servers. It would probably make your work a lot easier, too.)

Thanks, again.

Any sort of Personal Criteria Formula attempting to look back 100-bars for this would be way too long and slow to be practical or post in the forums. Starting from the left and going forward instead of starting from the right and going backward would not provide any advantages as the PCF language does not have variables into which you can store the results. Every possible branch needs to be completed contained within the PCF.

The RealCode for this would appear to be straightforward. A RealCode Indicator for a swing point high could be written as:

'|******************************************************************
'|*** StockFinder RealCode Indicator - Version 5.0 www.worden.com 
'|*** Copy and paste this header and code into StockFinder *********
'|*** Indicator:Swing Point High
'|******************************************************************
'# Period = UserInput.Integer = 5
Static Potential As Integer
If isFirstBar Then
	Potential = 0
End If
Dim Offset As Integer = CurrentIndex - Potential
If Offset > Period Then
	AddToOutput(Price.DateValue(Offset), Price.High(Offset))
	Potential = CurrentIndex
Else If Price.High > Price.High(Offset) Then
	Potential = CurrentIndex
End If
Plot = Single.NaN

While a RealCode Indicator for a swing point low could be written as:

'|******************************************************************
'|*** StockFinder RealCode Indicator - Version 5.0 www.worden.com 
'|*** Copy and paste this header and code into StockFinder *********
'|*** Indicator:Swing Point Low
'|******************************************************************
'# Period = UserInput.Integer = 5
Static Potential As Integer
If isFirstBar Then
	Potential = 0
End If
Dim Offset As Integer = CurrentIndex - Potential
If Offset > Period Then
	AddToOutput(Price.DateValue(Offset), Price.Low(Offset))
	Potential = CurrentIndex
Else If Price.Low < Price.Low(Offset) Then
	Potential = CurrentIndex
End If
Plot = Single.NaN

Interestingly enough, there is an extra swing point high in June 2002 when viewing a monthly chart for SPY covering March 2002 through April 2006. The reason for this is that there is a cycle of swing point highs in the midst of a downtrend on an actual local maxima on March 2000 and continuing with September 2000, May 2001, December 2001 and June 2002.

These swing point highs in a downtrend differ from swing point highs requiring lower highs on both sides of the swing point high in that their existence is dependent on the bar used to start the calculations of the swing point highs.

Wow! This just gets weirder and weirder, Bruce.

I'm going to do 3 things:

1) Revert to the original Nov. 14 formula, adjusted to H5 instead of H6.

2) Write to L.A. Little about the proliferation and value of odd middle-of-nowhere swing points.

3) Feedback to Worden about somehow getting Real Code available for TC2000 users. (On the technical side, is it possible to house the Real Code engine on our computers and simply access the data from Worden?) 

Thanks again for the help.

Just a note that the starting point used to test for a swing point high surrounded on both sides by lower highs can also cause a difference in where swing point highs occur. But this only happens when the swing point high is so close to the start of the data being checked that you cannot actually check for the lower prior highs. This does not cause the location of subsequent swing point highs to change and does not cause swing point highs in a downtrend as can happen with method you described.

Thank you for your suggestion. It has been assigned case number 9927.

Hi! Very useful the LA Little formula. I am wondering if I could have a PCF with the percentage difference of the last close to the LAST swing high and low. Thanks in advance..

Wow! I need to play with this some time, but it looks amazing!

Also, I am looking for another "swing High/Low" thing. It is possible to plot a channel with the upper level = the most recent identifiable swing high, and  the lower level = the most recent identifiable swing low?????????

Eliminating the 100 * (C / ( at the beginning of each formula and the ) - 1) at the end of each formula should do just that. So the value of the most recently identified swing high should be the following.

Morning Bruce,
Subject: A watchlist column - Numeric value when boolean condition is met:
 
I want to add to my watchlist a price column based on when this boolean condition is met:
XAVGC5 > XAVG(XAVGC5,2) 
 
Is there a PCF that will identify price - only when it first becomes true (& another column when it first becomes false)?  
And that will update as a watchlist column when the condition becomes true (or false) again?

The following Indicator Formula uses the techniques given in the Days Since Last Peak (or other day-counting needs) topic to look back at the most recent 40 bars for C when your Condition Formula most recently become true. It will return 0 if this did not happen in the most recent 40 bars.

HI bruce,

just wanted to ask about using swing high/lows to identify the underlying trend. Ive found that no matter the moving average period i use, whether 50 or 200 i havent been able to tune it so that it recognizes the overlying trend. like if the stock has an overlying uptrend but has recently been dropping quite drastically then it recognizes this as a downtrend. I just need a formula that will identify the overarching main trend.

 

thanks

Hi Gabe, that's the $64,000,000 question :) 

I think the first thing Bruce will tell you is that it depends on your "specific unambiguous objective" definition of "the oeverarching main trend".

Personally, I'd start with plain old Dow Theory (higher highs, higher lows, etc ...) but TC2000 can't be programmed for that since there's no looping in the PCF language.

But it can be done visually on a chart with draing tools. I personally recognize an uptrend starting when you get a higher high, a higher low, and price then "takes out" the higher high. The reverse being true for downtrends. Then there are the transitions from uptrend to downtrend to uptrend that I won't get into here.

Others will use different definitions and different formulas. I think it's the difference between buying a suit off-the-rack and getting a tailored suit. Your definition of a trend should match your trading goals: short-term? long-term? how much risk are you comfortable accepting? And so on.

Good luck!
