I have been trying to figure out how I can receive the period of the highest price if I consider a look-back period of, lets say 60 days. For example, if the price peaked 26 days ago, I want to receive the integer ’26’.
A solution would be to use a FOR / NEXT loop to find the previous bar that made the highest high in the last X bars.
You can find an example to build this kind of loop in our online documentation : https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/for/
Let me know if you need more support!
I will be using it for the look-back period to determine divergence patterns for OBV, MACD etc.. Although there may surely be several other applications. If anyone has more applicable ideas I am all ears!
