Hello everyone ,

I somes times use an indicator that, to make his calculations, look for the last time the High of the candle was visited, in the past. That means the calculation looks for this price on the 'left' side of the current candle.

I would like to do exactly the same, but that the calculation looks for this High price on the right side of the current candle, to make the calculation.

The code part associated with this function is this :

Code: Select all: function FindHigh(index) local i=index-1; while i>first do if source.high[i]>=source.high[index] then return i; end i=i-1; end return nil;

What should I modify to make the change ? (if possible)

Thank you very muchfor your help ! :)

Code: Select all: function R_FindHigh(start) local last=source:size()-1; local max; local Return; for index=start, last, 1 do if source.high[index]>=source.high[start] then Return = index; end return Return; end function L_FindHigh(start) local max; local Return; for index=start, source:first() , - 1 do if source.high[index]>=source.high[start] then Return = index; end return Return; end

Good afternoon,

Thank you very much for your reply Apprentice. But it seems there is something I do not get :

I assume that R_Findhigh is to look at the right ? And L_Findhigh to look at the left ?

If I change this function in the original indicator :

Code: Select all: function FindHigh(index) local i=index-1; while i>first do if source.high[i]>=source.high[index] then return i; end i=i-1; end return nil;

for

Code: Select all: function R_FindHigh(start) local last=source:size()-1; local max; local Return; for index=start, last, 1 do if source.high[index]>=source.high[start] then Return = index; end return Return; end

The value calculated by the indicator is wrong ( it is always equal to the close of current bar).

Because the logic of the indicator is still the same but I just want to look at the right of candle instead of the left, I assumed that only the funtion part looking for the High had to be changed.
Is it wrong assumption ?

Thank you again for your assistance.

Can you share the entire code.

For the last candle, there is no right.
Therefore, the current high candle will be will be High of the period.
Write a detailed description, so I can understand your trading ideas.
