Daily High / Low

[laocoon]

Hello

I'd like to find out what's the easiest way to check whether the current (or any prior) candle has made a new daily high / low.

Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

Hello laocoon,
You can use the CurrentDayOHL function to determine it. A sample code will be like

if (this.CurrentDayOHL().CurrentHigh[0] > this.CurrentDayOHL().CurrentHigh[1])
{
	//do something
}

Hello Joydeep,

I've got a quick follow-up question regarding the Daily High / Low issue:

How can you make sure that the Current Daily High / Low is a FRESH High / Low, ie not one that has already been reached earlier in the session?

Example:
The market makes a Daily High of 977 at 10 AM. It then retreats and hits the 977 level again at 1PM.
The "this.CurrentDayOHL().CurrentHigh[0]" function will return 977 although it is not a FRESH New Daily High. How can I make sure that this doesn't happen, ie the value should only be returned if it is FRESH (never reached before)?

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Hello laocoon,
The below code itself as i demonstrated earlier should do it.

if (this.CurrentDayOHL().CurrentHigh[0] > this.CurrentDayOHL().CurrentHigh[1])
{
	//do something
}

Hello Joydeep,

That does it indeed, almost too easy!

Thanks again & have a nice evening.
