How to get the highest and lowest value from a group of indicators?

How to get the highest and lowest value from a group of indicators?

So I have a group of indicators to compare values.
SMA1[0], SMA2[0], SMA3[0], EMA1[0], EMA2[0], EMA3[0]

I would like to reach to this point:

If
(
(HighestValue - LowestValue) >  0.001)
)
{
   // do this
}

Thank you!

Offhand, I can think of any of 3 ways:

1. Put them in a list; sort the list; use first and last values of the sorted list.
2. Put them in a list and use LINQ to get the max and min values
3. Use a succession of Math.Max() and Math.Min() operations on the values; do arithmetic on the final results of the operations.

Hello johnnybegoode,

Thanks for your post.

With a defined group of indicators, on each OnBarUpdate() you could assign the indicators current values into an array and then use the Array.Min and Array.Max to determine the values of interest.

This is more of a c# type question than a ninjascript question so I will provide links to internet sources to get you started, you may want to look for further tutorials on C# array.
