Maximum, Minimum daily

[tonynt]

Hello,

I can not find out how to plot on the chart the maximum price of a certain number of days in a minutechart or tickchart. I can plot the maximum price of the last n-bars of course, but I can´t change the indicator so that I get the maximum (and the minimum) of the last n-days in a 15-Min-Chart.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards
Tony

Tony, to get the max value for an entire chart, you could use:

double maxvalueonchart = MAX(Close, CurrentBar)[0];
// for min just change MAX to MIN

Using CurrentBar for the lookback period means that every single bar will be evaluated when looking for the max value.

Maximum of x-days

Thank you for your answer. But where can I set and define the days? How do I make the code when I want to have the maximum of the last 10 days in my 15-Min-Chart?
Best regards
Tony

You can set and define the days when you load the chart. If select 10 days, the code will get the max/min of the last 10 days. Please see the attached picture for details.

If you want to code it all, stuff like this can quickly get complicated because of session breaks and weekends. This reference sample goes over the basics of DateTime and can help get you started.
