I have seen pcf terms such as MAXH2<MAXH4 used. I don't quite understand what this means. Is there some range of the MAXH involved or what? I do understand the syntax of MAXHx.z

Regards

MAXH2 < MAXH4 checks for the highest high in the most recent 2-bars to be less than the highest high in the most recent four bars.

In MAXHx.y, x is the number of bars over which you are checking for the highest high and y is the the number of bars ago the span being checked ended. So:

MAXH2.1

Is the highest high in the 2 bars ending 1 bar ago.

MAXH21.5

Is the highest high in the 21 bars ending 5 bars ago.
