HIGHEST command for all visible bars

tested4perfection · 2019-08-31T02:43:58+00:00

Hi, I’m hopeful someone can assist me with this task that keeps giving me errors. I would like to find the highest value of the CCI[20](close) for all bars that are loaded minus 20 bars – so not to cause problems with the first 20 bars needed for the calculations. Some of the code I’ve tried: CCIindex = CCI[20](close) Bars = BarIndex - 20 //(Gives me the max bars minus the first 20 bars to not cause problems) MaxValue = HIGHEST[Bars](CCIindex) And this is where it fails. I get error Null. I’ve even tried a FOR / NEXT loop to count the bars in the loop and then use that number. But still – I can’t get it to work. If I manually put in the maximum bars minus 20 in the HIGHEST[Bars] command, then it works. What am I doing wrong? This should be a no brainer… Many thanks!

Hi,

I’m hopeful someone can assist me with this task that keeps giving me errors.

I would like to find the highest value of the CCI[20](close) for all bars that are loaded minus 20 bars – so not to cause problems with the first 20 bars needed for the calculations.

Some of the code I’ve tried:
```
CCIindex = CCI[20](close)

Bars = BarIndex - 20          //(Gives me the max bars minus the first 20 bars to not cause problems)

MaxValue = HIGHEST[Bars](CCIindex)
```
And this is where it fails. I get error Null.

I’ve even tried a FOR / NEXT loop to count the bars in the loop and then use that number. But still – I can’t get it to work.

If I manually put in the maximum bars minus 20 in the HIGHEST[Bars] command, then it works.

What am I doing wrong? This should be a no brainer…

Many thanks!

```
if barindex >= 20 then
CCIindex = CCI[20](close) 
MaxValue = max(Maxvalue, CCIindex)
endif
```

I thought that you’d done it but just didn’t tell anybody!
