Anthony,

I'm sorry. I should not throw the code at you. Although the subject is the same(HHV,LLV), I should have more patient :) Tomasz did help me one function today. My guess PREVIOUS = Ref(H,-4); but it's not right.

Cheers,

Alex

Alex,

I see it now, it has been a long time since I used metastock...

The PREVIOUS is refering to the previous value of the top or bottom box in each statement, unfortunately I have not been able to grasp Amibrokers way of converting this metastock function into Amibroker..Sorry.

Maybe Tomasz or someone else can help in the translation...

Anthony

Anthony,

Yes this code is a conversion from metastock "How I made 2 million on the stockmarket" by Jason Prestwidge. The bottom is original of code.

Periods:=Input("periods",1,260,260); Topbox:=If(Ref(H,-3)>=Ref(HHV(H,Periods),-4) AND Ref(H,-2)<Ref(H,-3) AND Ref(H,-1)<Ref(H,-3) AND H< Ref(H,-3),Ref(H,-3),PREVIOUS);

Botbox:=If(Ref(H,-3)>=Ref(HHV(H,Periods),-4) AND Ref(H,-2)<Ref(H,-3) AND Ref(H,-1)<Ref(H,-3) AND H< Ref(H,-3),LLV(L,4),PREVIOUS);

Topbox;
Botbox;

Anthony,

Periods=Param("periods",260,1,260,1);

Topbox=IIf(Ref(H,-3)>=Ref(HHV(H,Periods),-4) AND Ref(H,-2)<Ref(H,-3) AND Ref(H,-1)<Ref(H,-3) AND H< Ref(H,-3),Ref(H,-3),PREVIOUS);

Plot(Topbox,"Topbox",colorRed,1);

Botbox=IIf(Ref(H,-3)>=Ref(HHV(H,Periods),-4) AND

Ref(H,-2)<Ref(H,-3) AND Ref(H,-1)<Ref(H,-3) AND H< Ref(H,-3),LLV(L,4),PREVIOUS);

Plot(Botbox,"Botbox",colorGreen,1);

That's the code but I don't know "PREVIOUS" what they prefer to!!!

Tom,

Try this:

Cond=L > Ref(L,-1) AND H > Ref(H,-1);

Cond2=BarsSince(Cond < 1);

Filter=1;

AddColumn(Cond2,"");

Is it possible to have Higher Highs AND Higher Lows show at the same time.

Thank you

Anthony,

Again, thank you. What I am trying to determine is how many days in a row the stock is setting higher highs and higher lows, as opposed to a moving average. Is this possible to code?

Tom,

You have yet to define what you consider as trending....here is another sample:

periods=Param("periods",10,1,100,1);//N period moving average

trendingup=BarsSince(L < MA(L,periods));

trendingdown=BarsSince(H > MA(H,periods));

Filter=1;

AddColumn(trendingup,"up",1);

AddColumn(trendingdown,"down",1);

Thank you. I ran your script and realized that I asked the wrong question. What I am trying to determine is if the price has been in a "continuous" up or down trend for n periods.

Depends on how you want to define trending Higher or lower..Here is a sample explore...

//Automatic analysis

//Explore

//all symbols

//n last quotations

//n=1

periods=10;

trending=ROC(C,periods);

trendingUP=trending > 0;

trendingDown=trending < 0;

state=WriteIf(trendingup,"trendingUP for ("+WriteVal(periods,1)+") periods ","trendingdown for ("+WriteVal(periods,1)+")periods");

Filter=1;

AddTextColumn(state,"State");

Would someone be able to tell me how to write a condition to a scan that says 'if prices are trending either higher or lower for n periods'?

Thank you
