Highest ?!

[kuroro13]

Hi,

I want to calculate the highest chart value from the last x bars (x is a parameter)
How could I do ?

Furthermore, I want to code an "If" loop and I don't know how to code this :

If number of bars on chart > period

Please take a look at this method: HighestBar()

Better use

MAX(High, X)[0]

highest high

Im making my first foray into ninja coding and am trying to set a condition so it enters as long as its below the highest high of N bars. The way I would think its written is

if High[0] < HighestBar(high, N)


but it also looks as if

if High[0] < MAX(high,N)[1]

is also correct. Which one would I be better off using?
