Highest and Second highest point in last X bars if current close is lower

  Good day, This is my first time trying….

  I want to create an indicator that could identify:

  1. The highert point in the last X bars then
  2. From that point of the highest bar, to the current bar, I would like to calculate the second highest bar.

  But I constantly get an error message: “un parametre de type entier positif est attendu avec highest”

  Here is the code, and I do not understand the reason, as the defenition is a full number??? Could anyone help?

  bars = 70 Y1 = highest[bars] (high[1]) if high <Y1 or high [1]<Y1 then for i = bars downto 1 do if high [i] = Y1 then X1 = i-1 DRAWTEXT("#X1#", barindex [X1], high [x1]) break endif next Y2 = highest[X1] (high[1]) for n = X1 downto 0 do if high [n] = Y2 then X2 = n DRAWTEXT("#X2#", barindex [n], high [n]) break endif next endif return

  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

  bars = 70 Y1 = highest[bars] (high[1])   if high <Y1 or high [1]<Y1 then   for i = bars downto 1 do if high [i] = Y1 then X1 = i-1 DRAWTEXT("#X1#", barindex [X1], high [x1]) break endif next   Y2 = highest[X1] (high[1])   for n = X1 downto 0 do if high [n] = Y2 then X2 = n DRAWTEXT("#X2#", barindex [n], high [n]) break endif next   endif   return

  Your first “for to next” loop ending with i=1, x1=i-1 will be =0 when i=1, and the error message “entier positif” (positive integer) for X1 in highest[x1](…) means X1 has to be at least 1, not 0… so either make sure X1 can’t be zero, or use something bigger than X1 with highest
