Retrieving Highest Highs from any period

[TAJTrades]

What is the best way of retrieving the Highest High from the bars:

High[20] to High[45]

From a performance perspective I would prefer not to set up a looping method ( for (int index = 20; 45; index++). I was hoping someone would know of a more efficient way.

Thanks

MAX(High, 25)[20]

Thanks.

Can't believe I did not think of that.

Using MAX or MIN for multi-timeframe

Hi,
Ok, I have figured out how to use MAX and MIN to find highest high and lowest low for a lookback period.

I could not figure out if I can use MAX and MIN in a multitime frame stretegy. For example if I add a 5 minute and a 30 minute bars objects by using following commands.

Add(PeriodType.Minute, 5);

Add(PeriodType.Minute, 30);

How can I use MAX to find, lets say Highest high for last 10 of 30 minutes bars?

Thanks.

Sure you can just use MAX() within the corresponding BarsInProgress context.

if (BarsInProgress == 1)
MAX(...) will give you the MAX within the secondary bar object.

You can also try something like MAX(Highs[2], 10)[0]

Thanks for your helpful reply.

Actually I was trying to use something like ** MAX(High[1][2], 10)[0] ** instead of ** MAX(Highs[2], 10)[0] ** as you have suggested.

It never crossed my mind to use 'Highs' instead of 'High'.

Problem solved.

Lowest High of 4 consecutive bars at a swing high

i'm trying to figure out how to write this condition for swing high and lows

Use MIN(Low, 20)[0].
