```
// 20-period HIGHEST
//
// This is not the official PRT code, but it shouldn't be much different
//
Periods      = 20
HighestPrice = 0
FOR i = 0 TO (Periods - 1)
   HighestPrice = Max(high[i],HighestPrice)
NEXT
```

Hi Roberto,
Many thanks
It’s close but not quite there. How could you apply this to the close like the PRT indicators are https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/highest/
Thanks again,
Robert

Replace line 8 with:
```
HighestPrice = Max(close[i],HighestPrice)
```

// 20-period LOWEST
//
// This is not the official PRT code, but it shouldn’t be much different

Periods = 20
LowestPrice = 999999
FOR i = 0 TO (Periods – 1)
LowestPrice = Min(close[i],LowestPrice)
NEXT
