Ace, I want information processed from these points, finding the points is
just a first step.
I think I have that boolean bit already in the loop, and finding simple
low-high-low is easy enough and would halve the code I sent, but it excludes
any second significant point that comes along. In the chart I sent the
second high would be lost which is a significant move
I have done it in straight AFL but it becomes cumbersome and limited in its
use further down my track with it. What I have shown is just the first part,
I go onto medium and minor price moves as well that require the same type of
formula. I was hoping for a shorter solution than using base AFL.
Cheers,
Graham

Graham,
Could you try something like a simple boolean variable that changes
from 1 to 0 (not an array) to let you know if what you found is the
next low or the next high you are looking for? You could then add it
as a status condition in your searching routines. In other words
when searching for a low after a high has been found and then
another high is found keep storing the latest high until a low comes
along and switches the boolean to 0 (assuming it was 1 when a high
was found).
That may help.
