Hello,
Is there a way to get the Maximum High or Low since a specific date (e.g. MAXH.'04/18/2009' would give the high ON this specific date).
Otherwise I would need to count the days since the specific date I have in mind and then change my PCF daily... Have searched the forum and couldn't find a solution.
Appreciate your reply, many thanks,
regards.

I cannot think of a way to do this that would not involve editing the PCF each day.

One way to determine the number of bars without counting manually would be to creat the following Custom Cumulative Indicator in the top section of the chart:

- Visible: Up to you.
- Smoothing Average: 1
- Average Type: Simple or Exponential (Doesn't matter because the Smoothing Average is 1)
- Up Condition: C < C + 1
- Down Condition: C > C + 1
- Value to Add/Subtract: 1

You can then zoom out so the desired Time Frame is visible. Use Pointer Mode with the Data Box (select the period key (.) twice) and view the Value of the day before your date (if you want to count that date) or the your date itself (if you want to start with the next day) and the current Value. Subtracting should give you the length you need to use.
