 In stockfinder, I would like to be able to find the max high in the say last 100 bars.  I would then like to be able to subtract the min low from that high.  If i looked at the min low for the last 100 bars I could get a min low that was before the max high.

Thanks for the help.

 The following RealCode Indicator includes the Low of the Bar of the MaxHigh when calculating the range since there is no way of knowing if that Low happened before or after the High of the Bar:

    Plot = Single.NaN
End If
