Period of highest price

  Hi,

  I have been trying to figure out how I can receive the period of the highest price if I consider a look-back period of, lets say 60 days. For example, if the price peaked 26 days ago, I want to receive the integer ’26’.

  Thanks,

  Simon

  A solution would be to use a FOR / NEXT loop to find the previous bar that made the highest high in the last X bars.
  You can find an example to build this kind of loop in our online documentation : https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/for/
  Let me know if you need more support!

  Thanks for the feedback Nicolas,

  This is the FOR-loop I managed to write:

  Value=0 for i=1 to 30 do if (close[i] > close[i-1] and close[i] > close[Value]) then Value=i else Value=Value endif next return Value

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  Value=0 for i=1 to 30 do if (close[i] > close[i-1] and close[i] > close[Value]) then Value=i else Value=Value endif next   return Value

  I will be using it for the look-back period to determine divergence patterns for OBV, MACD etc.. Although there may surely be several other applications. If anyone has more applicable ideas I am all ears!
