What is Swing high / low
A local high or low price turned from. Swings make up structure: stops go behind them and breaks are counted against them.
How it works
BTC 4h: marked swings that breaks are counted against.
Example
The 68 424 swing high became the level to break: on 18.10 price closed at 68 735, above it.
Common mistake
Counting every 1m wiggle as a swing: a meaningful swing is visible on your working timeframe.
