Highest High Bar Calculation

[sardana]

Hello,
I am sincerely hoping some one will help me here....

I am trying (struggling) to write an indicator that plots how many bars ago did Highest High occur in a period.. Say I want to know how many bars ago did it occur in a window of 200 bars? and then plot that.

Please help with a sample code...

Thanx

Hello sardana,

Thanks for your post.

MAX can be used to identify the Highest High from X number of bars ago.

After finding this MAX value, I suggest to use a loop to loop back from High[0] to High[X] so you can see how many bars back you can go before you reach this highest value. As the loop iterates, increase a variable that you would like to use for the indicator plot.

Our NinjaTrader 7 help guide provides some light information on loops, and more robust materials can be found externally to NinjaTrader.

int j = 0;
double highestHigh = MAX(High, 100)[0];

for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
    if (High[i] < highestHigh)
        j++;
    else
        break;
}

j would represent how many bars have been counted from the current bar to the highest high.

Or you can, of course, just use the HighestBar() method directly.
