<DIV><FONT size=2>One way to do it would be to run an exploration getting on 61 
days of price history (control that via options within the exploration filter) 
and set the filter to&nbsp;select anything with today's HIGH greater than 
previous highest high -- as in IF ( HIGH &gt; REF(HIGHEST(HIGH),-1), TRUE, FALSE 
). The key is restricting the amount of data checked.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>A problem arises if other information that you are generating 
for your report need to look at more than 61 days of price history, such as 
reporting a 200-day MA along with today's HLC and maybe volume and 14-day 
RSI.</FONT></DIV>

Try H>=HHV(H,60)-1   [This will return the highest high of the last 60 days
NOT counting the last bar]
     H>=HHV(H,60)      [This will return the highest high of the last 60
days         counting the last bar]
