hi Nomo, if i understand it properly, once the pullback starts to happen, i should immediately find the swing high/low and draw the dotted line. if price reaches a new swing point, the dot line should be redrawn. i can do that.

the dotted line will appear ONLY if entry is hit. at that point, i will go back to the previous bars to find the swing high / low regarding the alert, do you want the alert on the indicator itself as opposed to using an ea ? thats possible.
