Using lists

[sercava]

Hi!

I was wondering about using lists. Is there any example where I can see its use?

I'm trying to solve this problem: (I don't know the proper syntax, but I'm trying to make it clear)

1. I have identified a bar (i bars ago) and I want to do a search around that bar to get its highest high, for example in the range (i +r ----> i-r).
2. I can create some kind of list and add the elements:
for (int x= i-r,x < i+r+1;x++)
add (high[x], highlist);
3. Then sort with the proper command to get the maximum.:
GetHighOfList(highlist)

Perhaps there is a native function to do this but I've searched and didn't see anything.

Thanks in advance,

Sergio

Hello Sergio,
Thanks for writing in and I am happy to assist you.

You can use the HighestBar fucntion to find the highest bar. Please refer here to know more

But that only work if I want to search from last bar.

Let's explain a bit more:

With:

HighestBar(High, 6) I will check bars [0],[1],...[6]

but what I want is searching around bar [16]

and check [19],[18]...[16]...[14],[13] only

not [19],[18]...[0]

Hope this helps to know what I want.

Hello sercava,
Thanks for the clarification.

Please use the MAX function to do it. A sample code will be like

if (CurrentBar > 19)
double highestHigh = MAX(High, 6)[13];

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

That's what I need, thanks. Will code it.

Have fun!
