here's an image of actual scalper peaks and troughs. From that the midpoint is calculated and plotted (No smoothing is done). Changes in the midpoint are done at the time a peak/trough is detected. While scalper paints in the past based on the confriming bar, the midpoint paints at the time of the confirming bar. Does this look closer to what you had intended?

And here's one with the 11 period smoothed version.

It does look more like it. But when I would add length to the original it wouldn't create any smoothing. In this screen capture it shows a cyan 4 length and a yellow 1 length.

Here's a good example. The cyan line is a 4 length and the yellow is a 11 length. In the box the scalper code fires a cyan bar, both averages make a step down when that cyan bar appears 2 bars later. Then a magenta bar fires and the average reacts a few bars later. But as you can see cyan line makes it back to price faster and the yellow becomes resistance. This is only one scenario but there's many possible. But as you can see the longer length line doesn't smooth like my new Ninja version.

When a longer average overlaps the shorter it becomes S/R. Knowing which one is the hard part. You can trade anything just have to find the pattern.

I see. The image is much clearer. I can assume that the period is also being used in the swing function within Ninja, but I'll investigate.

Thanks for your efforts!

This is a 15127 volume chart so the Scalp fires less when there's a trend and fires more when it's cycling. You can see that in the average itself as the longer term average wiggles.
