Test new High / Low after Monday

[kadan]

Hello all,

I am struggling for many hours to find a way to test for a new Low / High as a week progresses.

I have a simple code (see below) and I need to test on all remaining days of week (i.e Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri) if higher high or lower low was created in the market. If yes I would like to use that High / Low in my doubles instead of the value they take on Monday. If now I want the doubles to keep values from Monday.

I have read many threads but came to no result.

Any idea on how I could proceed will be much appreciaed.

My code:
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
double WavgHigh = Low[0]*(1.022);
double WavgHigh1dev = Low[0]*(1.032);
double WavgHigh2dev = Low[0]*(1.042);
double WavgLow = High[0]*(1-0.022);
double WavgLow1dev = High[0]*(1-0.032);
double WavgLow2dev = High[0]*(1-0.042);

{
if (Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday)
{
DrawText("W avg. high" + CurrentBar, false, "W avg. High", 0, WavgHigh, 0, Color.Black, new Font("Arial", 8), StringAlignment.Center, Color.Blue, Color.Transparent, 0);
DrawText("W avg. high 1 dev", false, "W avg. High 1dev", 0, WavgHigh1dev, 0, Color.Black, new Font("Arial", 8), StringAlignment.Center, Color.Blue, Color.Transparent, 0);
DrawText("W avg. high 2 dev", false, "W avg. High 2dev", 0, WavgHigh2dev, 0, Color.Black, new Font("Arial", 8), StringAlignment.Center, Color.Blue, Color.Transparent, 0);
DrawText("W avg. low", false, "W avg. Low", 0, WavgLow, 0, Color.Black, new Font("Arial", 8), StringAlignment.Center, Color.Blue, Color.Transparent, 0);
DrawText("W avg. low 1 dev", false, "W avg. Low 1dev", 0, WavgLow1dev, 0, Color.Black, new Font("Arial", 8), StringAlignment.Center, Color.Blue, Color.Transparent, 0);
DrawText("W avg. low 2 dev", false, "W avg. Low 2dev", 0, WavgLow2dev, 0, Color.Black, new Font("Arial", 8), StringAlignment.Center, Color.Blue, Color.Transparent, 0);
}

else
{
}
}
}

Hello kadan,

I would like to clarify what you are wanting to achieve.

You are wanting to store the the highest high each time a new high is made and reset this on a specific day of the week, is this correct?

Your variables will need to be declared in the scope of the class (outside of OnBarUpdate()).
You can use Math.Max() and Math.Min() to assign the variable either itself or a new value whichever is higher/lower.

Below is a public link to Microsoft documentation on the C# Math methods.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.math.min?view=netframework-4.7.2

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.math.max?view=netframework-4.7.2

To reset the variables, this can be done by comparing the day of the week using the Time[0] DateTIme object on the first bar of a session.

Below is a public link to the help guide on Time.

Hello Chelsea,

This was what I have been missing "Your variables will need to be declared in the scope of the class (outside of OnBarUpdate())." :-)

I worked out what I wanted.

Thank you
