Catching a High of a bool-condition

[brain77]

Hi,

having following condition that describes the bar i need :

(CrossAbove(EMA(12), EMA(26), 20))

Now i try to get + conserve th High of the price-bar at the moment this bool-condition is true to use it later to compare it to other Highs.

How can i do this ?
Thank you!

How about creating a variable in the variables section:

private double myHigh;

then in OnBarUpdate()

if (CrossAbove(EMA(12), EMA(26), 20))
myHigh = High[0];

then you can compare myHigh later.

thank you !

whats the differents between
a private double myHigh; in the variable section and

a double blabla ; in the OnBarUpdate() section ?

Hi brain77,

If you declare your variable in the Variables section, it will be available anywhere in your code, whereas the one in the OnBarUpdate() will only be locally available. So if you need to store a quick temporal calcuation, it is very convenient...
