Highest Bar: Strategy Builder

[smcllr]

Why would the condition "if (HighestBar(Close, 8) > 20)" cause a back test not to run? If the "Numeric Value" I am testing against is greater than the "Period", it will not show results.

Or am I wrong about what the expression means? It appears to mean that "if a bar which has a high, higher than the previous 9 (0-8) bars before it, is greater than 21 (0-20) bars back from the current bar" However, whenever I test with the "Period" as the lower number, it does not run a back test.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello smcllr,

Thanks for your post.

With reference to the help guide, "Returns the number of bars ago the highest price value occurred within the specified look-back period." So that means you will get a value that is up to the length of the specified lookback, which in your example would be 0 to 8 which is not greater than 20.
