    Hi

    I know we can use highest https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/highest/ and lowest https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/lowest/  but does anyone have the code behind these please?

    Thanks

    Rob

    // 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
