Plans for Highest/Lowest with IDataSeries?

[mazachan]

Any idea if ninja will be supporting a HighestBar/LowestBar where you can pass in a data series and a lookback? Or do I have to "roll my own" method for doing that?

Thanks

We already have this implemented...I believe this is what you want:

But will that work with indicators? Or is that the highest/lowest for price? Say I want the highest MACD high from the session start, it does not allow me to pass in a data series to find that.

Right, it will not work for data series, I overlooked that subtle detail. You will have to roll your own however, I will add this to our list.

This has been implemented for NT 6.5 due out this fall.

This has been implemented for NT 6.5 due out this fall.

Was this ever implemented for 6.5 ? If so, how would I code the following:
For example, the following code:

if(Volume[0] = Volume [[COLOR=blue]Lowestbar[/COLOR](Volume, lookback)] )
      Values[0].Set(Volume[0]);

resulted in

The name 'Lowestbar does not exist in the current context

Thank you in advance for your response.

The syntax is LowestBar(IDataSeries series, int lookBackPeriod) with a capital B not a lower case one.

Hi,
Is there a method for obtaining Highest/Lowest for a specific past lookbackperiod, i.e, one that starts n bars ago instead of at the current bar?

TIA

Unfortunately not but I will add it to our list.
