Marking Medium term High which is greater than previous and next short term High

[baqer110]

I don't know much of programming. I am trying to mark medium term high on the chart which is higher than previous short term high and next short term high.
Short term high is high which is higher than previous 2 highs as well as next to highs.
I am able to mark short term highs on the chart using following formula (screen shot attached)
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBar < 10)
return;
// Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
// plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.

if(High[0] > High[1] && High[0] > High[2] && High[0] > High[-1] && High[0] > High[-2])

DrawArrowDown(CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, High[0] + TickSize, Color.Red);

if (Low[0] < Low[1] && Low[0] < Low[2] && Low[0] < Low[-1] && Low[0] < Low[-2])

DrawArrowUp(CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 0, Low[0] - TickSize, Color.Green);

(This also gives short term lows similar ways)

But I am not able to mark medium term high. I tried different ways but it does not work.
Medium term High is a HIGH greater than previous short term high and greater than next short term high as well (middle out of 3 short term high which is highest)
I was able to do in other platform where "valuewhen" function is allowed
j = valuewhen (b, high, 2) where j is double and b bool. b = High[0] and (High[0] > High[1] && High[0] > High[2] && High[0] > High[-1] && High[0] > High[-2])
I am not able to do this in Ninjatrader (recently started using Ninja trader and love it)

Hello baqer110,

Attached is a basic example of checking for the middle High between two Highs as defined by your short term Highs above. This same idea can be applied to check for the middle Low between two Lows as defined by your short term Lows.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks a lot . I do appreciate your valuable time
I imported the script you sent me to NT and applied to the chart. It's not plotting anything. No compilation error. I am studying the code and trying to figure out.
Can you please apply this at your end and tell me whether it works?
Once again I do appreciate your valuable time

I created a video on this example that I created at the following link: http://screencast.com/t/sXjXhCuImk6

As mentioned in the video, it is a simple example and is not the full code you need. Also, my condition may not be what you need. I would recommend reviewing and understanding how the Loops pull the values, reviewing for loops, and implementing this. You can also consider a developer, and our affiliate NinjaTrader Ecosystem does partner with NinjaScript consultants.
