Hi, my name is Wiktor and I come from Poland ) my grammar english is not really impressive. i'm begginer trader and i try write my first indicator.

protected override void Initialize()
{

Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));
CalculateOnBarClose = false;
Overlay = true;
PriceTypeSupported = true;
}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

// Condition set 1 kupuj
if ( Close[0] > MAX(High, 2)[0] )

{
DrawArrowUp("My up arrow" + CurrentBar, 0, Low[0] +- 5 * TickSize, Color.Blue);
DrawLine("My line" + CurrentBar, 0, Low[0],35, Low[0], Color.Blue);
}

Yek shamash! (my spelling is probably bad as well but hopefully you know what I mean)

The problem is with your logic. Your condition will !never be true since the close will !never be greater than the highest highest high of the last two bars. At best, it may equal. What you likely want to check for is if the current bar close is greater than the highest high of the past two bars excluding the current bar.

if (Close[0] > MAX(High, 2)[1])
// Do something

is what you want. You will also want to add a check like this before hand.

if (CurrentBar < 1)
return;
