MIN & MAX not triggering

[Jorge.andres.o]

Hello,

Can you please help me identify the problem?

I am trying the following conditions, but there is no trigger.

double VWAPStdDevUp1 = OrderFlowVWAP(VWAPResolution.Tick, Bars.TradingHours, VWAPStandardDeviations.Three, 1, 2, 3).StdDev1Upper[0];
               
                MAX1                = MAX(High, 2);
                MIN1                = MIN(Low, 2);
                Print(string.Format("High: {0}, Low: {1}",  MAX1[0], MIN1[0]));
                
            
                if (CrossAbove(Close, MAX1,1) && Closes[0][0] < VWAPStdDevUp1)​

Can you please state what you're trying to do in English?

I mean, describe your conditions, very specifically, so that
we can understand what conditional state you're trying to
capture.

I am getting the highest High of the last 2 bars. After that,
I want a long entry once the close price cross above the Highest High and the price is under the 1st upper deviation line

thanks

Assuming Calculate.OnBarClose ...

if (Close[0] > Math.Max(High[1], High[2]) && Close[0] < VWAPStdDevUp1)
    ...

[Jorge.andres.o]

Can I calculate it on each tick?

Hmm, let me see ...

As a matter of fact, yep, it should work fine.

Do you understand why?

Let's review,

OnPriceChange/OnEachTick:
Close[0] is close of active bar being built (basically last price seen)
Close[1] is close of prior bar (basically most recently closed bar)
Close[2] is close of previous prior bar

OnBarClose:
Close[0] is close of most recently closed bar
Close[1] is close of prior bar
Close[2] is close of previous prior bar

So, yep, that if statement I provided should work
fine for all Calculate settings.

Make sure you have a guard for CurrentBar
somewhere near the top of your OnBarUpdate.

At the minimum, you'll need,

if (CurrentBar < 2)
    return;

Make sense?

You’re awesome thanks a lot for your help with the code
