ASCIL Finding Previous High/Low

View Count: 504

I use sc.GetIndexOfHighestValue and sc.GetIndexOfLowestValue to get the bar of the last high. Is there sample code available to show me how I would use the current bar of sc.GetIndexOfLowestValue/sc.GetIndexOfHighestValue as the starting point for finding the previous HL?

Thanks.

Those functions do use the current bar when looking for the highest/lowest value. And they also take a Length parameter to specify how far back to look.

Right I know how that works natively.

What I need to see is how to start the length parameter over, at the bar where the normal function would find the HIGH/LOW.

I tried to explain it with attached image.

You need to specify the Index parameter with that function with the bar index from where you want the function to start checking.
