Attention!

Grasul · 09-07-2011, 03:26 PM

I was wondering if anyone has a clever way to calculate the highest high or lowest low over a number of bars.

The Max and Min functions only accept two values, and I can create a series of statements checking back one bar at a time, but that seems ponderous and like there must be a more clever way.

Any thoughts?

Hi Grasul,

The built in indicators MAX() and MIN() offer this. You may be looking at Math.Min and Math.Max which only accept two values.
