Order when Intraday high is higher then the last 5 days

[SpaceGrey]

Hey there,

So I wanted to ask, How I can place a Buy order (Long-Position) if the intraday-high is higher then the last 5 days intraday-high?

Hello SpaceGrey,

Thanks for the note.

You can do this with the PriorDayOHLC indicator to get the high for each day, for 5 days

Once you have the High values for each day, compare each value to the High[0] value.

Please let me know if I can assist further.

So:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			
			if(PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[0] > PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[5]) {
				
				EnterLong("order placed!");
			}
			
        }

would be correct?

Hello SpaceGrey,

Thanks for the reply.

It would look something more like this.

private bool flag = false; // at the class level
...
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{
			if(CurrentBars[0] < 5)
				return;
			
			for(int i = 1; i <= 5; ++i)
			{
				Print(PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[i]);
				
				if(PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[i] < High[0])
				{
					flag = true; //Enter long if(flag)
				}
				else
				{
					continue;
				}
			}
			...
		}
