DislikedThanks for the explanation. But there are so many different "swings" in forming bigger swings. Which swing do you take? That's my question. Do you just take any swing that you want or do you accomodate each of the little "swings" in between?Ignored
Now having said all that here is some more basics to determining which swings to use if you don't want to just stick with using the most dominate swings.
In an uptrend if swing lows are close to each other such as a double bottom or just close in a support zone use the swing furthest to the right. And also if a swing low is inside another - meaning LL then in between a higher LL then another LL. Ignore the in between higher LL.
And again reverse all this when in a downtrend.
