Sorry to take so long to reply back.
Was trying to solve it myself by tinkering with
what you have sent - but it still does not work.
It still catches the most recent swing top - which
is not what i am looking for.
Eg. the daily closes are
12
14
14
12
16
14
15
16
19
22
18
19
14
16
21
then it should give 5 as the answer since the last
time the close was above the current close was 6 days ago and the current close
is a 5 day high.
What is currently happening is that it is giving 3
as the answer since it is picking up the last swing top of 19 which happened 4
days back.
Pls help - really stuck.
Regards

Sharad, try this new version of the previous MS
code. I think this
will give the results you
want.
---8<-----------------
Hi:=ValueWhen(1,H>Ref(H,-1),H);
Ref(BarsSince(H=Hi),-1)

a stock is making new highs - going long will give a good return over
the next few days provided volume is confirming. The key is when to
exit. Now in bull markets several stocks fulfil this criteria and my
experience has shown that the more the stock is in new highs (ie. the
more the number of previous days whose highs have been crossed), the
greater the profits. So the best way is to sort out the list on that
basis.

Changing 1 to 2 gives the number of days since the last
swing high -
which is lower than the current high in my case and thus of
no use. I
have tried changing the formula and breaking my head on a
solution -
but to no avail.
