Highest/Lowest Functions

This section lists functions specifically designed to identify the highest and lowest bar in a range.

Highest

Usage

HIGHEST(EXPR[,N])
HHV(EXPR[,N])

Description

Returns the highest (numerically largest) value expr has assumed over the last n periods. That is, counting the current bar and the n-1 previous bars. If n is not given, then it will return the highest value expr has assumed over the entire dataset. Not to be confused with Max.

The related HighestBars function can be used to determine which bar was the highest.

Example

highest(H,10) is the highest high value for the last 10 bars.
highest(V,15) is the highest volume for any one bar over the last 15.
highest(H) is the highest high value for the entire dataset.

HighestBars

Usage

HIGHESTBARS(EXPR[,N])
HHVBARS(EXPR[,N])

Description

Returns the number of bars ago that expr was the highest it has been over the last n bars. That is, including the current bar and the n-1 previous bars. Or if n is not given, the number of bars ago it was at its highest for the entire dataset.

The related Highest function can be used to determine the value of this bar.

Example

highest(H,10) is the highest high value for the last 10 bars.
highest(H) is the highest high value for the entire dataset.

HighestSince

Usage

HIGHESTSINCE(N,EXPR1,EXPR2)

Description

Returns the highest value expr2 has assumed since the nth time ago that expr1was true.

The related HighestSinceBars function can be used to determine which bar returned this value.

Example

highestsince(4,cross(mov(C,7),mov(C,21)),C)
returns the highest close price that has occurred since the fourth time ago that the 7-day simple moving average crossed the 21-day simple moving average.

HighestSinceBars

Usage

HIGHESTSINCEBARS(N,EXPR1,EXPR2)

Description

Returns the number of bars since the highest value of expr2 was assumed since the nth time ago that expr1 was true.

The related HighestSince function returns what expr2 was on this bar.

Lowest

Usage

LOWEST(EXPR[,N])
LLV(EXPR[,N])

Description

Returns the lowest value expr has assumed over the last n periods. That is, counting the current bar and the n-1 previous bars. If n is not given, then it will return the lowest value expr has assumed over the entire dataset. Not to be confused with Min.

The related LowestBars function can be used to determine which bar was the lowest.

Example

lowest(L,10) is the lowest low value for the last 10 bars.
lowest(V,15) is the loweset volume for any one bar over the last 15.
lowest(L) is the lowest low value for the entire dataset.

LowestBars

Usage

LOWESTBARS(EXPR[,N])
LLVBARS(EXPR[,N])

Description

Returns the number of bars ago that expr was the lowest it has been over the last n bars. That is, including the current bar and the n-1 previous bars. Or if n is not given, the number of bars ago it was at its lowest for the entire dataset.

The related Lowest function can be used to determine the value of this bar.

Example

lowest(H,10) is the lowest low value for the last 10 bars.
lowest(H) is the lowest low value for the entire dataset.

Usage

LOWESTSINCE(N,EXPR1,EXPR2)

Description

Returns the lowest value expr2 has assumed since the nth time ago that expr1was true.

The related LowestSinceBars function can be used to determine which bar returned this value.

Example

lowestsince(4,cross(mov(C,7),mov(C,21)),C)  returns the lowest close price that has occurred since the fourth time ago that the 7-day simple moving average crossed the 21-day simple moving average.
