    Hi there,

    I know there is a way to find the high or low of a number of bars BACK from the current bar, but is there a way to say “find me the highest close value between bar index 2 and 10”?

    So between two arbitrary bars, find the highest or lowest value. I can probably script something up but thought there must be a function to do this!

    Thanks again

    This is the code to find “the highest close value between bar index 2 and 10”:

    HH = highest[9](close[2])

    it will scan bars 2 through 10 (9 bars).

    Thanks Robert! Wow, I never would’ve figured that out. Thanks again!

    Hello Roberto, this is an extremely helpful snippet of code. Thanks for sharing.

    However I use it and don’t fully understand the results of the Highest function.

    Can you please help me to understand why searching for a recent high using the “HIGH” function gets a different result from the “HIGHEST” function?

    The image attached shows my result and you can find the code below.

    As far as I understand, both should return the same result.

    I am relatively new to PRT, so apologies if I’ve missed something obvious.

    Thanks,
    David.

    HH1 = High[1]
HH2 = High[2]

HH = highest[2]
HHH = MAX(HH1,HH2)

Return HH AS "Recent Highest", HHH AS "Recent MAX"

    highest[2](close)  :   search for the number of times, the highest number in brackets of what is in brackets

    Use

    HH1 = High
HH2 = High[1]

    to match

    highest[2]

    as bars are identified from 0 (the current one, i.e. the first, or rightmost, bar) up to BarIndex; HIGH[BarIndex] is the HIGH of the leftmost bar, the very first bar.
