Find high or low between bars

  Hi there,

  I know there is a way to find the high or low of a number of bars BACK from the current bar, but is there a way to say “find me the highest close value between bar index 2 and 10”?

  So between two arbitrary bars, find the highest or lowest value. I can probably script something up but thought there must be a function to do this!

  Thanks again

  This is the code to find “the highest close value between bar index 2 and 10”:

  HH = highest[9](close[2])

  1	HH = highest[9](close[2])

  it will scan bars 2 through 10 (9 bars).

  Hello Roberto, this is an extremely helpful snippet of code. Thanks for sharing.

  However I use it and don’t fully understand the results of the Highest function.

  Can you please help me to understand why searching for a recent high using the “HIGH” function gets a different result from the “HIGHEST” function?

  The image attached shows my result and you can find the code below.

  As far as I understand, both should return the same result.

  I am relatively new to PRT, so apologies if I’ve missed something obvious.

  Thanks,
  David.

  Indicator showing the difference between Highest & Max

  HH1 = High[1] HH2 = High[2] HH = highest[2] HHH = MAX(HH1,HH2) Return HH AS "Recent Highest", HHH AS "Recent MAX"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  HH1 = High[1] HH2 = High[2]   HH = highest[2] HHH = MAX(HH1,HH2)   Return HH AS "Recent Highest", HHH AS "Recent MAX"

  highest[2](close)  :   search for the number of times, the highest number in brackets of what is in brackets

  Use

  HH1 = High HH2 = High[1]

  1 2	HH1 = High HH2 = High[1]

  to match

  highest[2]

  1	highest[2]

  as bars are identified from 0 (the current one, i.e. the first, or rightmost, bar) up to BarIndex; HIGH[BarIndex] is the HIGH of the leftmost bar, the very first bar.
