Get Maximum of series

[amiralimadadi]

Hi everybody
How can i get maximum value of a special series (for example ZN 5 years), in a special period.
Then i want to determine where the input is greater than this maximum for 3 ticks (for example)

Hello amiralimadadi,

Thank you for your note.

You could pass the Ten Year series to the MAX method, which will return the highest value in that series.

See,

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?maximum_max.htm

If you wanted to get the MAX value of the previous 20 bars, starting from 100 bars ago, you specify the int BarsAgo, for example,

MAX(High, 20)[100];

The helpguide shows how to save this value to a double variable, which you could then use to check against the close on the current bar, ie Close[0]+3*TickSize to check if the current close is greater.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks. It was so helpful. but i need max value in a special time period. for example from 7:20 to 8:20 us central time.

Hello amiralimadadi,

Thanks for your reply.

In that case, we recommend that you set a time condition to test for the 8:20 period and when true to then search for the MAX as previously advised with a period look back that would cover the start time of 7:20. For example (using 1 minute bars):

if (ToTime(Time[0]) == 082000)
{
todaysHigh = MAX(High, 60)[0]; //look back 1 hour
}
