Finding Low or High

[alphatango]

Is there a function that will gather the last x bars and pick out the lowest low or highest high? This sounds like a very useful method, but I can't seem to find if this exists.

Check the NinjaTrader 8 help guide for the HighestBar() and LowestBar() functions

Hello alphatango,

Thank you for your note.

As Zigfried mentioned, there are functions for HighestBar() and LowestBar() that will return the number of bars ago when the highest/lowest value occurred for a designated lookback period:

Otherwise, if you are looking to return the actual price value rather than the number of bars ago when it occurred, you could consider using the MIN() or MAX() indicator methods:

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