Hello waldymar,
Thanks for posting today.

This can be done using a daily chart and the MAX and MIN indicators.

• From a daily chart
• Right mouse click and Indicators...
• Double mouse click to add the MAX and MIN indicators on the list to the left
• Set the Period to how many days you want to look back for the MAX and MIN indicator
• Left mouse click OK to apply both these indicators.

The MAX indicator will show you the highest high in the look back period and the MIN will show you the lowest low in the the look back period.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance for anything NinjaTrader.

thank you for your quick reply.
what I can see is that indicators min or max draw a line based on close price and not high/low. how can adjust it to high/low?

Hello waldymar,
Thanks for the reply.

You can change how this is calculated by adjusting what values these are based on and creating your own indicator.

• From the Control Center>Tools>Edit NinjaScript>Indicators>MAX ( or MIN)
• Right mouse click and Save As... rename the indicator to create the custom indicator.
• Adapt the code under the protected override void OnBarUpdate()
• This code uses the Input[0] change this to the High[0] (or Low[0]) within the OnBarUpdate()
• This will change the code to calculate the max (or min) on the close instead of the input.
• Right mouse click and select Compile
• This custom indicator will now appear in your list of default indicator and can be added to a chart

Hi Alex,
thank you for your comprehensive instructions. Even me, a non-programmer, was able to create my 1st indicator in NT.
appreciate your help a lot!
