Ask HN: Do you have a problem (to solve)?

  • Algorithm to find out the "REAL Highs & Lows" Swings in Trading.

    Reason/Benefit: Most trades place their stop behind false Pivot/Swing highs & Lows. Therefore the Whlaes (Big Money) have a easy time to stop out (stop fishing) these stops. I's a fact that if traders could use real highs and lows, their stopout frequence would improve dramatically, and so the success of the trades. I use these every day in my trading, but there is no indicator that makes it easyer for not so professionals to use it in a simple way, like using a indicator.

    The following rule applies to ANY time frame, Range, or whatever chart-type:

    Find a REAL new High-Swing:

    A new high-swing is CONFIRMED when the high of the canlde is below the last (confirmed) Swing LOW. > draw a marker (line) above the new confirmed High price.

    Vice versa to find new confirmed Low-Swing

    Price tag: none, it should be a opensource indicator in various programming languages like python, pine-script (for TradingView.com), C# (NinjaTrader) etc.
