A swing low is a local trough — a bar whose low is below the lows of the N bars immediately before and after. It is the mirror image of a swing high and is used the same way: to anchor stops on long trades and to define the levels that subsequent prices must break to flip structure.
Common N values are 2, 3, and 5. Lower N catches more swings but admits more noise; higher N catches fewer, more significant ones.
Like swing highs, swing lows are confirmed retrospectively. A platform that draws them in real time is always working with a delay of N bars.
Esempio
With N = 3, a bar at price 48,000 is a swing low if the 3 bars before and after it all printed lows above 48,000.
