Create simple indicator

[U0000999]

Hello, guys!

How to make an indicator that would count the number of points from the highest point to the lowest point for "n" number of candles? "N" - is a variable parameter, which is set by me.

Thanks!

Hello U0000999,

Thanks for your post.

As a suggestion, going forward, you may want to rethink your topic titles as this is the same as your other thread (title wise) and we almost removed it thinking it was a duplicate of https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...eate-indicator.

If I understand correctly you want to know the High to low of a given period. I would suggest using the MAX() and MIN() methods and provide the High data series to the MAX() and the Low data series to the MIN().

In both cases, you can specify the period.

For example:

double highOfperiod = MAX(High, 30)[0]; // get the high over the last 30 bars
double lowOfPeriod = MIN(Low, 30)[0]; // get the low over the last 30 bars
