Highest High

[jjthetrader]

Hello, I'm basically building off of Ninjas Swing High/Low indicator here and was wondering how to reference that highest high bar or lowest low bars info. I would actually like to get the range of the highest high bar and do some calculations from that. I would also like to reference the bar after that swing low to get it's range as well.

In the attach pic the arrows show the bars to which I'd like to reference. And like the swing high/Low, after a new one is formed, start referencing that new one.

I'm pretty new to Ninja programming coming over from TS. Sorry if this is a really basic inquiry.

Hi jjthetrader, the swing indicator gives you two methods to work with -

1. access how many bars ago the swing point occured with SwingHighBar / SwingLowBar

or

2. access the current swing value with SwingHigh / SwingLow

An example call and the needed syntax can be found here - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...eV6/Swing.html

Should this condition work to only print if the current hugh is greater than the high of the last 4 bars?

if (High[0] > (MAX(High,4)[0]))


DrawDiamond( "Buy",false, 0, High[0] + TickSize, Color.ForestGreen);

Regarding my drawing of the diamond, is there any way to set the size. I may have the wrong input in the initialize section?:
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Dot, "Buy"));

thanks

It will never work since MAX includes current. It will work if you change it to:

if (High[0] > (MAX(High,4)[1]))
