Hello,
So you found an error in docs - Highest() in fact returns ARRAY not a number.
(it is the running highest from bar one to the current bar). LastValue( Highest() ) gives
the most recent Highest - so the "all time high".
Best regards,

DOES have an effect, I just don't understand why). Can you tell me, does Highest() actually return an ARRAY?
