Higher highs

[fliesen]

Hi
Would anybody show me a simple script identifying the 2 last higher highs (or lower lows) of a price sequence ?
Thanks in advance

Hello fliesen,

Thank you for the post.

You will access high and low values of an instrument with the High[] and Low[] array respectively. With some additional logic, you can find the last two highest (or lowest) prices of the instrument.

There is also a few useful functions for this:
LowestBar(), HighestBar(), and Most Recent Occurrence (MRO)

In this example, I am using Most Recent Occurrence to find the last two highest highs:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{
			int firstBarsAgo = MRO(() => High[0] > Bars.GetHigh(CurrentBar), 1, 100);
  			int secondBarsAgo = MRO(() => High[0] > Bars.GetHigh(CurrentBar), 2, 100);
			//int firstBarsAgo = MRO(() => High[0] > Open[0], 1, 10);
  			//int secondBarsAgo = MRO(() => High[0] > Open[0], 2, 10);
  			if (firstBarsAgo > -1 && secondBarsAgo > -1 && firstBarsAgo != -1 && secondBarsAgo != -1){
				Print(true);
				Print(firstBarsAgo);
			        Print(secondBarsAgo);
      			        Print("The first higher bar was " + High[firstBarsAgo]);
			        Print("The second higher bar was " + High[secondBarsAgo]);
				
			}
				
				
		}

I have also attached an example so you can try it out.

Please let us know if we may be of any further assistance.

Thank you.
The only limit is that MRO can't be used in multiseries.
Is there eventually anything else available for multiseries ?

Hello fliesen,

Thank you for the follow-up.

I can submit a feature request to add support for multi series scripts. This function could also be easily reimplemented manually for use in multi series scripts, you would have to take care of the lookback period and occurrence rank logic.

Here is the feature ID: SFT-2624

If there is anything else I may assist with please let me know.
