RE: [RT] Percent Swing File

["M. Simms" <prosys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1) define 
"major" : swing calcs  require a Swing Length; of course, it can 
be an input for flexibility.
For MAJOR turns I 
would suggest a value of 50 or 60.....corresponding to a full cycle(UP/Down) of 
about 4-5 months.

2) use daily bars 
and store the swings and logging them to a large array
the BIG TRICK is 
what to do if there are 2 consecutive SWING HIGHS or SWING LOWS 
?
a) take the most 
recent
b) determine the 
intervening SWING in the opposite direction using a smaller LENGTH or just using 
the LOWEST function 
This will insure 
you always have a cyclic data set....high,low,high,low,high,low versus 
high,low,low,high,high,etc.

3) at the 
LastBarOnChart, send all swing dates and prices to a CSV file; import in 
Excel

  File
  Could someone please provide directions on how to 
  construct a "Percent Swing" File used for timing harmonics.
  I want to search historical data to collect MAJOR 
  Highs and Lows by programming my trading software or even Excel to collect 
  these dates.
   
  I got the idea from this software <A 
  href="http://www.pulsetech.org/acycle.htm";>http://www.pulsetech.org/acycle.htm
  But I think $495 is a little 
  excessive.
  I think Robert Miners Dynamic Trader software has 
  a similar function.
   
  So I would appreciate it if someone could provide 
  a code outline for this percent swing file.
   
  Thanks in advance
