ADX - Getting the highest value from the past 30 bars

[Spiderbird]

Hi there,

This is probably a very simple question, but I'd like someone to validate it for me.
What NS code would return the highest ADX value from the past 30 bars on a chart?

I suspect it involves using MAX and MIN, but I can't figure out what code to write.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello Spiderbird,

Thank you for your post.

The code would use HighestBar() to return the barsago index for the highest value of the ADX within the last 0 bars. I have listed the code below:

//This will print the highest value of the ADX over the last 30 bars
Print(ADX(20)[HighestBar(ADX(20), 30)]);

For information on HighestBar() please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...highestbar.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hi Patrick,

That did the trick! I also combined this with Slope to really pinpoint particular high points on ADX. Next step is to code a switch between ADX and ADXR (the former for shorter term high points on ADX, and the latter for trades that have been in the market for a particular duration)

Thanks for your help!
