    Good day, This is my first time trying….

    I want to create an indicator that could identify:

    1. The highert point in the last X bars then
    2. From that point of the highest bar, to the current bar, I would like to calculate the second highest bar.

    But I constantly get an error message: “un parametre de type entier positif est attendu avec highest”

    Here is the code, and I do not understand the reason, as the defenition is a full number??? Could anyone help?

    bars = 70
Y1 = highest[bars] (high[1])

if high <Y1 or high [1]<Y1 then

for i = bars downto 1 do
if high [i] = Y1 then
X1 = i-1
DRAWTEXT("#X1#", barindex [X1], high [x1])
break
endif
next

Y2 = highest[X1] (high[1])

for n = X1 downto 0 do
if high [n] = Y2 then
X2 = n
DRAWTEXT("#X2#", barindex [n], high [n])
break
endif
next

endif

return

    Your first “for to next” loop ending with i=1, x1=i-1 will be =0 when i=1, and the error message “entier positif” (positive integer) for X1 in highest[x1](…) means X1 has to be at least 1, not 0… so either make sure X1 can’t be zero, or use something bigger than X1 with highest
