Use of Highest and Lowest Bar Condition and Action

[Ironplates]

I wanted to enter a trade that included the condition such that the trading strategy would take action when the highest bar in the last 20 periods was identified. I am attempting to automate John Carter's HOLP and LOHP set up.

Hello Ironplates,
You can use the MIN, MAX function to find out the highetst high and the lowest lows for the last 20 bars.

A sample code will be like:

double highestHigh = MAX(High, 20)[1];

Hello Ironplates,
To clarify further are your trying to find the cdes for the Max, Min indicators. If so then please follow the below steps to see it:

• In Control Center menu bar goto Tools>Edit NinjaScript>Indicator
• From the indicators dialog select MAX and click the Ok button.

I clearly understood the information you provided on the MIN MAX condition and thank you as this helped tremendously!

I was also aiming to get a better understanding of the Highestbar and Lowestbar condition as well so I might be able to apply such a condition as I found appropriate.

They identify the actual bar that has the condition.
