High of Highest Bar - Two Bars Back?

[Spiderbird]

Hi all,

In my current code (thanks to the fine folks at NT with the assist), I usually track the highest value of the highest bar in my COBC=false, OnBarUpdate section by using the following:

Math.Round(High[HighestBar(High, 5)],2)

However, there's a variation I want to do where I get the highest high from the past five bars, starting with High[2] and not High[1] (where it seems to be starting now).

The goal is to measure the value of High[1] against values High[2] to High [7]. Just not sure how the above code changes to reflect that.

Anyone have any ideas on how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Yours,
Spider

Hello Spiderbird,
You can use the MAX function to find out the highest bar 2 bar back. Please refer to this code which further demonstrates it.

if (CurrentBar < 2) return;
Plot0.Set(MAX(High, 5)[2]);

Thanks JoyDeep! Just to clarify in your code, Plot0 is your example variable?

Meaning, I would put the variable of my choice (say trade_ProfitTarget) in that slot, so it would look like:
trade_ProfitTarget.Set(MAX(High, 5)[2]);

Is that correct? or should it be...

trade_ProfitTarget = Plot0.Set(MAX(High, 5)[2]);

Hello Spiderbird,
Plot0 is the Plot data series which one adds in the Initialize section of an indicator.

to put it as an variable please use the below code

double trade_ProfitTarget = MAX(High, 5)[2];

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

Great! Thanks for that clarification. Much appreciated JoyDeep!
