Factals beyond periods set

  I am trying to use this code but it only seems to register the factals in the CP periods. e.g If a buy signal is formed, it seems to only look at the high factals within the 20(cp) periods. If there is no high factal within that period it dosent look at the last ‘high’ factal.

  I hope I am making sense.

  cp = 20 if high[cp] >= highest[2*cp+1](close) then LH = 1 else LH = 0 endif if low[cp] <= lowest[2*cp+1](close) then LL = -1 else LL = 0 endif if LH = 1 then TOPy = high[cp] TOPx = barindex[cp] endif if LL = -1 then BOTy = low[cp] BOTx = barindex[cp] endif timeframe (default) ////////////////////// C1 = (close CROSSES OVER TOPy) D1 = (close CROSSES UNDER BOTy)

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27

  cp = 20 if high[cp] >= highest[2*cp+1](close) then LH = 1 else LH = 0 endif if low[cp] <= lowest[2*cp+1](close)  then LL = -1 else LL = 0 endif if LH = 1 then TOPy = high[cp] TOPx = barindex[cp] endif if LL = -1 then BOTy = low[cp] BOTx = barindex[cp] endif timeframe (default) ////////////////////// C1 = (close CROSSES OVER TOPy) D1 = (close CROSSES UNDER BOTy)

  How do I make it so that close crosses over the last TOPy not just the last TOPy within the 20 periods?
