Counter when Bar Creates new High

[TraderElegante]

Hello TraderElegante,

Thanks for your reply and screenshot.

If I understand correctly, when your histogram creates a new high you want to then start counting bars when the histogram exceeds the +/- 10 % of that high?

If that is correct, what part are you having difficulty with? What would be your specific question?

of course it exceeds + 10% of the minimum .. the difficulty is that I cannot find the maximum with a minimum of 4 bars .. some example ewo> 0

Hello TraderElegante,

Thanks for your reply.

To find the maximum value you might look at using the MAX() method where you specify a look back number of bars to check and it will return the maximum value found in that lookback period.

Alternatively (or in addition) you might look at HighestBar() method that will return the number of bars ago the high occurred in the lookback period

Hello TraderElegante,

Thanks for your reply.

In both methods, you specify the lookback period to use.

The difference is that MAX() returns just the value and HighestBar() returns the Bar that the high occurred on.
