  Hi. Screener dos’n’t seem to recognise code: Highest[240](dclose(240)). It appears to only allow highest over  1 year. i.e Highest[240](dclose(0)). I find that strange as code works on Indicator and appears to work on Backtesting. Am I just old and past it?

  ProScreener has a limitation of 254 bars of history.

  I made a screener almost similar in this french topic this week: (it detects breakout of highest high of the current year), you might find some interest in this code in order to help: https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/plus-haut-annuel/

  Thanks Nicolas.

  Shame it looked like a possible share selection on a few shares when the price or bollinger band moved above highest high 1-2 years ago. However, as I can’t screen to test it easily I guess I just go back to the drawing board.

  On a daily timeframe, 1 year is possible but 2 years is beyond the 254 bars limit. It is something that would be changed by PRT probably in a next update hopefully.
