Getting bar# when using MAX() & MIN()

[CaptainAmericaXX]

Hello,
I am trying to create a swing indicator based on certain periods that I've created. I've used the MAX() and MIN() to determine the highs and lows of these periods. Does anyone know how to then find the specific bar number for those highs and lows?

if (down period) 
{
     endBarsAgo1 = CurrentBar;
     startBarsAgo = CurrentBar;
     lowest_Low = MIN(Low, endBarsAgo1 - startBarsAgo1 )[1];
}
if(up period)
{
     startBarsAgo1 = CurrentBar;
     endBarsAgo = CurrentBar;
      highest_High = MAX(High, endBarsAgo - startBarsAgo)[1];
}

The MAX() and MIN(), of course, are good for finding the highs and lows for a specific period, but do not give the bar number.

Hello CaptainAmericaXX,

Thanks for your post.

To find the Highest or Lowest bar in a defined period, you can use the following methods:

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/?lowestbar.htm

You may want to use these methods to find the Highest and Lowest bars first then the High and low value of those bars.
