Excluding Current Bar When Looking for Highest/Lowest

[WalterSkinner]

In other platforms you've got to exclude the current bar when working with highest and lowest bar values.

I'm struggling to find where the [1] goes to do this.

This is what I would expect it to be but it's not.

int lookback = 10;
highestBarsAgo = HighestBar(High, lookback)[B][1][/B];
highestPrice = High[highestBarsAgo];

Hello WalterSkinner,

Thanks for your post.

Correct, the HighestBar() method would include the current bar.

Another approach is to use MAX()

double maxHigh = MAX(High, 10)[1] // Maximum high value of the prior (to the current bar) 10 bars ago.

if (High[0] > maxHigh)
{
// do something
}
