Re: Defining SwingLow

Peter,

	I am fairly certain, though I have not reopened the code to actually
confirm it as of this moment, that the rule is a low less than or equal to
the previous low and less than the subsequent low.

	That would make the second 303.09 be a swing low with a strength of one.
