Hello,

I'm trying to write code to express:

if the highest high in the last 2 days is greater than the highest high in the last 10 days, then pass.

I wrote this code but it doesn't seem to be working when I use it as a scan:

If (Price.MaxHigh(2) > Price.MaxHigh(8.2)) then pass


Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Richard

The problem is probably just that you used a period instead of a comma in Price.MaxHigh().

If Price.MaxHigh(2) > Price.MaxHigh(8, 2) Then Pass

Thanks Bruce, that seems to be working great.

I am having problems with creating the condition that a new price high has been made in the last 20 days, but again the code I have written doesn't seem to work.

if Price.High > Price.MaxHigh(20, 1) then pass

Thanks

Your RealCode would be for a New 20-Period High (I would actually think of it as a 21-Period New High). This would mean the current High is greater than the highest High over the previous 20-Bars.

If you want to check if this was True any time during the most recent 20-Bars, Edit the Condition and set it to Passing 1 of the Last 20.
