swing high or low

[Piroozmand]

.....is there a way to automatically detect a swing high or low on the chart?
It could be a basis for drawing automatic trend lines and some other additional features I think......

I dont know block which can do this automatically ... but something similiar is doing Fractal indicator, so maybe you can try it but I dont know if that helps you ... look for indicator which is doing this things, like zigzag trendline indicator:
0_1490204937893_ZigZag_Channels.mq4
from this page: https://www.xpworx.com/download-free/mt4-indicators/zigzag-channel-indicator.php

this indicator creates objects trendlines "dntrend" and "uptrend" so maybe you can use them in EA for breakouts etc ... just try it
you dont need import this indicator into My Indicators, attach it into chart first and than attach EA into the same chart

Expert Advisors are supposed to manipulate trades and pending orders. Indicators are supposed to manipulate candles data.

Did you manage to make this indicator into an EA? I have tried but always losses
