Visible Chartbars MAX(High)

[keepsimple]

Hi,

Maybe this is a stupid question, but unfortunately I am struggling a bit, trying to do the following.

I am running through the visible chartbars.

for (int index = ChartBars.FromIndex; index <= ChartBars.ToIndex; index ++)

now what i want to check is, if Bars.GetHigh(index) is higher than the maximal high of x bars before index. or stated ottherwise if the "index" high is a new x bar high, how is this be done, i tried converting the barsago value by subtracting the indexvalue from CurrentBar, but cant get it working.

regards

Hello keepsimple,

I am not quite certain that I am understanding your inquiry.

Lets say the current index is bar 100 and x is 5 bars.

Are you wanting to find the highest high from bar 95 to 100?

For example:

if (CurrentBar > 100)
{
	int barIndex = 100;
	int highestBarIndex = barIndex;
	int x = 5;
				
	for (int i = barIndex; i >= (barIndex - x); i--)
	{
		if (Bars.GetHigh(i) > Bars.GetHigh(highestBarIndex))
		{
			highestBarIndex = i;
		}
	}
				
	Print(string.Format("HighestHigh time: {0} | HighestHigh index: {1} | HighestHigh: {2}", Bars.GetTime(highestBarIndex), highestBarIndex, Bars.GetHigh(highestBarIndex) ));
}
