Look back

[skikg]

Hey all,

I'm a bit confused as how to do a look back for a period of bars.

example; say I want to make a plot cycle code,

if current high is > the Highest high (10 bars back) and down close
{drawdots}

How do I reference this in C# to look back at the last 10 bars?

Thanks in advance.

MAX(High, 10)[0] <-- returns the highest high value from the last 10 bars
MAX(High, 10)[10] <-- returns the highest high value from the 10 bars prior to 10 bars ago.

Make perfect sense. Thanks Josh.

Code works fine when I state if(Open[0] > Close[0])
but when I put in the MAX(high,5)[0] nothing plots. I'm confused as to why this does not work out.

 {
	if (High[0]> MAX(High, 5)[0] && Open[0] > Close[0])
	   {
		
 DrawDot("My dot" + CurrentBar, true, 0, High[0] + TickSize, Color.Yellow);
            }
        }

The current bar High will never be greater than the current bar High, hence no plot. But it can be equal to it.

Try

if (High[0]>= MAX(High, 5)[0] && Open[0] > Close[0])

so High is = to highest high of the bar

Thanks Velocity

Works perfect, Just wondering why this statement wouldn't work as well?

if (High[0]> MAX(High, 5)[1] && Open[0] > Close[0])

Technically it should work, but if you are going to use an [1] index please be sure that you have enough bars. http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3170
