Hi, is there an ACSIL function that calculates the maximum/minimum bar range over a specified number of bars?

Not that we can think of. But this is easy enough for you to calculate.

I have tried to create my own function for this but I get the error: a function-definition is not allowed here before '{' token.

Obviously this is meaningless to us without actually seeing the code.

Here's the code: int Index = sc.Index; SCFloatArrayRef High = sc.High; SCFloatArrayRef Low = sc.Low; float MaxBarRange(int NumberOfBars, int Shift) { if(Shift <= Index) { MaxValue = High[Index - Shift] - Low[Index - Shift]; for(int i = Index - Shift - 1; i >= 0 && i > Index - Shift - NumberOfBars; i--) { if(High - Low > MaxValue) MaxValue = High - Low; } return MaxValue; } } I also get the error: expected '}' at end of input. |

This code seems fine: float MaxBarRange(int NumberOfBars, int Shift)
{ if(Shift <= Index) { MaxValue = High[Index - Shift] - Low[Index - Shift]; for(int i = Index - Shift - 1; i >= 0 && i > Index - Shift - NumberOfBars; i--) { if(High - Low > MaxValue) MaxValue = High - Low; } return MaxValue; } } Therefore, just make sure that it is located above the function where it is being called from and we would not expect there to be a compiler error.
