speed = price/time where price = pivHiPrice - pivLoPrice. time = currentBar - (pivHiBar or pivLoBar). You're already tracking pivHiPrice and pivLoPrice but might need pivHiBar and pivLoBar counters from the pivots. I haven't done anything like that in awhile or I'd offer more help. It would be interesting to hear how you would use swing speed. I've old code that could be helpful that I would dig out if it's real interesting. BTW, your swing charts are nice.

>>that would indicate the speed at which something is going in one direction, from a fixed reference point.<< >>It would have been neat to measure the speed of the downswings and now the speed of the upswings.<< Wouldn't that be Wonderful....! To measure the strength and/or speed off a pivot point. I haven't found one either. <sigh> BTW..., while at an airport, I picked up an investment magazine, short time ago and found an article on you....! Nice to see a picture and put a face to an SI poster. <smile> Chip
