Help with porting Thinkscript to Ninjascript

[cay7man]

I'm trying to convert an indicator written for TOS to Ninjatrader. I'm kinda stuck with the following

Highest(high[-RightBarsThreshold], RightBarsThreshold);

I understand I should use HighestBar but the dataseries (1st param) can't point to an index. Should I roll my own? Any hints? TY!

Is this looking for the highest bar or highest high price for X bars back?

I believe ThinkScript's Highest function returns price not bar. Even finding the bar will work. I can convert to price from that.

Hello cay7man,

Our Support Staff are not ThinkScript experts, but I have had a look at the documentation pages.

It looks like MAX would be what you would want to use in NinjaTrader:

MAX - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...aximum_max.htm

Highest (ThickScript Publicly available resource) - https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/r...alysis/Highest

However, we would want to consider that MAX would be used like: MAX(InputsSeries, Period)[BarsAgo]

It looks like ThinkScript lets you apply previous bar references as input, when we would append the "BarsAgo" reference at the end to reference "pervious" values.

We look forward to assisting.

TY! Will give it a try. Would be nice if NT supports some functions in ThinkScript and Pinescript to allow porting of indicators from those platforms to NT easily...
