Hey fellow traders! Let’s dive into the concept of swing highs and lows, a key part of technical analysis in trading.

What is a Swing High?

A swing high is identified when a price peak has two preceding highs (indicating an upward trend) and two succeeding highs (showing a downward trend). In simpler terms, it’s like the top of a hill that you climb up before heading back down.

What is a Swing Low?

Conversely, a swing low occurs when there are two preceding lows (where prices are dropping) and two succeeding lows (where prices start to rise). Think of this as the bottom of a valley that you come down into before climbing back up.

Customizing Your Indicator
