  hello

  when using Dhigh(10) does this return the highest value 10 days ago or the highets value within 10 days? im looking for a variable that looks for the highest within a ceratin periode of time.

  It will return the highest value 10 days ago.

  For the highest value within the 10 latest days:
  Newhigh=0
  FOR i = 0 TO 10 DO
  IF DHigh(i)>Newhigh THEN
  Newhigh = DHigh(i)
  ENDIF
  NEXT

  You don’t need to use 4032 periods lookback, since the daily OHLC can be retrieve from any timeframe with Dhigh, Dlow, etc..

  The solution H_kan gave you is a good one, you just need to replace “10” by “15” to make the loop 15 days back. H_kan could confirm too 🙂

  Yes. It works like Nicolas says. DHigh always picks the highest daily value undependently of which timeframe you use. If you use 4032 in your code it will look 4032 days back!
