I'm having a complete mind blank today, hope someone can help

How do I find what the highest value of say Donchian Channel Upper over the past 12 bars?

Thanks in advance!

Hi John833,

Thank you for your post.

You can use the class HighestBar(), for example...

HighestBar(High, 12);

More info at - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...tml?HighestBar

do you mean

DonchianChannel (18).Upper[(HighestBar(DonchianChannel(18).Upper, 12)]

I've tried this and for some reason it returns the value of the Highest Bar not the Highest Value of the DC upper over the past 12 bars...

have I written the wrong code?

HI John833,

I see...please try the following, which I have tested and seems to calculate the value correctly.

double DC = DonchianChannel(18).Upper[(HighestBar(DonchianChannel(18).Upper, 12))];
Print(DC);

Hi Tim,

Sorry there was a typo in my line of code, but I have exactly the same code as you and it still seems to return the value of the highest bar instead of the DC value.

Are you sure your code returns the correct value?

Hi John833,

Yes, for example, as of 9:00am EST on an ES 30 minute chart I show a value of 1103.50.

ok thanks

I try from a different approach

High[(HighestBar(High, 30))]

maybe making it simpler may help...
